Oh, did you resolve the mouse look issue as well? Did you set any specific configuration to fix that?

are you in full screen mode? as i remember full screen makes mouse look super fast
i play in windowed mode, set it looks like full screen in the ini file, set mouse optimum for game in pd setting, mouse speed =0 in game, it should be normal speed
when i drag all 4 dll file, i dunno why mouse look is slightly faster than normal,
if only drag d3d9, no red tint and normal mouse look
in cpl.exe i did some setting in directx tab, something like changed it to geforce 9800 and tons of ram, remove watermark
lighting effect seems improved, cpu temp keeps at 58c, running around feel smooth as normal, feel so good now yay

The SteamDeck itself which was purely out of curiosity. I have a M1 MacBook that I tried running with CrossOver but can’t even get the launcher to pop up.

Since they’ve dropped native 32-but support it’ll require a layer of some kind to work, either virtualization or translation layers. I’ve heard people having luck with Parallels but I’m a bit stubborn and want to get it working without the weight of a full Windows VM.

I’m still a bit surprised that P99 works perfectly under Proton, as it’s essentially an in-house Wine. I’ve heard various issues with people trying to play P99 on Wine and didn’t have any of those except the known UDP login server issue which can be fixed.

Just to be clear, the issue with P99 on Wine, post 32bit support drop is the custom provided DSETUP.dll file by the P99 crew, at least in the testing I have done. Seems like some kind of incorrect 32 <=> 64bit memory translation stuff happening. Gcenx looked into it a bit more from a technical standpoint. EverQuest titanium itself has no issue running. I assume the SteamDeck works fine because it works with 32bit.

I had the 'open anyway' button in Privacy and Settings stop working but I got around it by running: `sudo spctl --master-disable`
