+1 like to know as well

Welp. Just finished the update. Tried launching it... still nadda. Still locks up as the title screen card for the game loads in after the cinematic of Kain sleeping. So wasnt a fix, at least as far as I an tell from my system.

Disappointing. Was super excited thinking I would finally get to pay the game I purchased..... :(

You can find the definitive patch in the discussions here. Its a fan made fix that makes the game run pretty much perfectly, its easy to install as well. Give it a go, the game is great!

Ya could. Shouldnt have to use a fan patch for a game being sold to the general public. I will, but I shouldnt have too... this game should have been patched to run a LONG time ago if steam was going to allow it to be sold.

100% on your side with that. There are LOTS of those old RPGs on Steam that mostly only run with community support. I just stick to the positive side, im glad fans do the job instead of the guys that actually get paid so i can enjoy the games :)

To be fair if you run BO2 on CD-DVD it has the same issues. Its just super old and no one ever worked on it again. Soul Reaver 1 was taken down from Steam years ago to actually remaster it, to make it run on modern systems but some sort of issue occurred, i dont really remember what, and its still unlisted and nothing is happening. Its a shame.

Actually, many, many old(er) games runs great and out of the box with Steam Deck and Linux.
Just like this one.

It is the Proton Layer what just translate DX to Vulkan on Linux systems.
It is so good that Windows users try to use same method on their Windows, even DXVK is made for Linux.

Most often NEW SYSTEMS, Win OS, drivers etc breaks compatibility. Not game.
Game starting and running out of the box with DXVK is straight proof that game is playable.

Old games has totally right to be sold on Steam.
