Steam deck Reloaded II steam api issue

[cinder anchor]

I’ve been using this guide https://p4g-deck.cep.one/install/getting-started

for p4g modding and I’ve tried many other things as well such as using the winedlloverload and I’m wondering if it’s my steam family copy causing this issue and or if something else is causing this issue

[cinder anchor]

I’ve solved the issue

[brittle forum]

how did u solve it

[cinder anchor]

You can’t open it in desktop mode you have to open it in the game mode

nah didnt work been at this for hours i give up man. maybe itll work sometime in the future

[cinder anchor]

Are you using the DLL overload?

[brittle forum]

whats that? im folliwing the steam deck guide on gamebanana to the letter

[cinder anchor]

It’s this step

[brittle forum]

tried that method already, only worked for p5r. i appreciate it though, ill just keep playing these games on my pc instead of deck

I’m also having the same issue with Steam API, never had them before

[brittle forum]

unfortunately the guides are outdated and we prob wont get any help with this for a while

persona 3 is the last game i need to get mods working on steam deck. Persona 5 royal was the easiest, Persona 4 was a lil stressful, persona 3 reload is hell tryna get the game to launch with mods thru steam

always steam api not found or sum

Ah I see. I’ll try and troubleshoot when I have time. Maybe I’ll try making a new reloaded-ii version and re adding everything to see if I get different results.

Good luck, i tried everything u can think of, redownloading, verifying files, asi loaders, re doing the v++ stuff, followed every guide to the letter. it just wont launch thru steam

I can’t get it to launch through steam or Reloaded-ii

[brittle forum]

only way i can play is playing exactly thru desktop mode with reloaded ii, even then that dont work sometimes because it just pops open a black screen and immediately crashes

[brittle forum]

i got that to work but disabling the essential mod

it was a mod causing it not to launch

such a pain i dont know what to do

this the last game i need to get to work

ima try again today and update if i made any progress

[brittle forum]

wanna update i got it to work

i traced my steps back from the beginning, so i first added reloaded ii to steam

set this as the launch path STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2161700/ %command% --launch "Z:\home\deck.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\P3R\P3R\Binaries\Win64\P3R.exe"

set the compatabilty to proton 10.0.0-4

and it stopped doing the steam api error even tho i already done this step before

i dont know why it worked so suddenly

but im not tinkering with the settings anymore i got all personas modded to how i wanted, it should be nore more issues now
