Also, if anyone is interested, I spent quite some time in setting up a template for the Steam Controller that binds just about every in-game function I can think of. Haven't tested it on the Steam Deck yet but if anyone is interested it's available at steam://controllerconfig/everquest/2900007499.

Even though all the commands are named, it will take a while to remap all your in-game keys to match, so here's the relevant section from my eqclient.ini for the corresponding keymappings.

Are you using bumpers for mouse clicks?

Triggers for mouse clicks. I have the bumpers setup for targeting. Left side cycles through PCs, right side cycles through NPCs. Long press to target closest of each.

edit: One modification I need to make is to use the layer of the grip buttons to change ABXY to be "quick" buttons for hotkeys/spells 1-8. It's not possible to use the radial menu while moving so I currently have no way of triggering a hotkey/spell without resorting to a mouse click.

Got everything working, but no servers at the select screen just like many Linux users complain of. Anyone experienced this?

P99 servers don't like Linux machines. You'll have to use a VPN if you're getting a blank list. Specifically you'll use OpenVPN from any service you'd like.

--- Follow this install guide but use the bottom method to get pacman to work.

https://support.surfshark.com/hc/en-...Linux-Manjaro-

--- To get OpenVPN supported on Steam Deck

***** Step 0. Go to terminal and type passwd and set an !!! easy to remember !!! system password

1. make a new text file called "InstallOpenVPN.sh" (the .sh part is the important bit)
2. copy the following into the text file:

#! /bin/sh
sudo steamos-readonly disable
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S networkmanager-openvpn
sudo steamos-readonly enable

3. You have to switch the script to executable.

4. Open a terminal window from the folder containing your script, then run the following command:

sudo chmod 744 installOpenVPN.sh
(This is where you use that password)

5. Run the script to install everything from terminal.

sudo ./installOpenVPN.sh

6. Follow prompts, test VPN.

WARNING: These settings get reset on any system update and you'll have to repeat the 10s install process periodically.

You don't have to use a vpn. Search the forums for middlemand - there's a thread somewhere with a deck compiled version.

As an alternative - use your cellphone hotspot for the deck.

"Go look at the forums" is not instructive, at all.

My instructions above will work. Furthermore, learning to recompile a new binary and finding the associated dependencies is not trivial.

I am not able to get a server list on wifi on steam deck, but it does show up when I hotspot to my iphone.

You're right, in both instances. That's why I said to use the search feature and specified what to put in order to find a link to a precompiled binary (it's the second result if you search for "middlemand").

Same here, and its what the last few responses are about. The Steamdeck in gaming mode is Linux (as well as desktop), and I've read about Linux users having difficulty getting the server list for whatever reasons.

It's been a very long time since I've toyed with Linux, but I'll give the instructions listed above a shot soon. Good luck.
