cant add the .msi to steam deck library

[tulip vigil]

it wasnt launching at all so i tried to remove and re add it to steam and the option to add it as non steam game isnt showing up this time, steam just gives a presest list of apps to add is this z new update or something?

[cunning magnet]

Also having this issue, possibly something with an update?

[tulip vigil]

like, it lets me click on "soulframe.msi" but then nothing happens, it doesnt add it or give an error message or anything, before it just added it. Ive tried restarting, ive tried changing fle name, ive tried adding it to a different steam account ive tried switching to steam beta channel nothing changes the issue. only thing left i can think of is trying a factory reset...

cant add the .msi to steam deck library

[tulip vigil]

can i ask how youre playing rn (according to discord)? did you find a workaround or are you on a different device?

[cunning magnet]

on pc right now, not playing via steam deck

[tulip vigil]

ah, ok

I never tried running .msi on wine\proton, does it run the installer properly ?

[tulip vigil]

k what wine is, but proton ran the game fine (when i had it in steam...) was playing the game for like 3 weeks.

*idk what wine is

[bold pulsar]

basically the same thing, proton is a fork of wine

[tulip vigil]

oh.

[bold pulsar]

msi is an MicroSoftInstaller, so I wouldn't know why you would run it more then once
I expect you to run the EXEcutable ?

[patent aspen]

workaround right now is use lutris to install

but issue seems to be SteamOS related

[tulip vigil]

tried adding the .exe file to steam, it didnt do anything

tried that once, after the launcher downloaded stuff for a while it gave me a popup about corrupted files. Though idk how to use lutris properly, i opened it, searched soulframe, and found a thing that said it was the ltris warframe installer but converted to soulrame. ive launching the .msi directly with lutris it doesnt seem to do anything. If im doing something wrong id appeciate more detail on how to doi t on lutris.

ohh, i had followed this guide before, wasnt able to find it again thanks

Solution to the .msi issue on the question text: #1452325180662874305 message

[tulip vigil]

i got the lutris thing to work, open lutris and search soulframe preludes on it, someone made a linux launcher on there, many thanks to them.

[desert jackal]

Great! I also got Lutris to work, but I prefer having it on steam. Others might come seeking solution to this thread, so posted it nonetheless. Enjoy, envoy!

[tulip vigil]

in the menu before you install on lutris i got an option for lutris to make a desktop shortcut and i was able to add that shortcut as a non steam game, and so far havent had to force proton on it in-steam. the log in screen stays loading on screen for a minute or two but oherwise works

[desert jackal]

Yeah, happened to me too. I used to play on linux w/ steam before this as well, so it felt like it wasn't working right. Think steam's compatibility layer might just be better optimized idk.
