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.

I got it up and running on steam deck, but the game is very dark. It feels like nighttime everywhere I go, even when it's 1pm. Anyone else experiencing this?

I got it running tonight! The original step by step guide was a little vague in my opinion.

Here are the explicit steps without handwaving the install part.

Step 1.) Copy your EQ folder from your PC on either a SD card or your Google drive.

Step 2.) Paste that folder into the /home/deck/ folder using desktop mode.

Step 3.) In desktop mode, open steam, add game, browse to your EQ folder and add Launcher Titanium.bat

Step 4.) Edit you eqclient.ini resolution to 1280x800

Step 5.) Go back to gaming mode, select library, tab to non Steam games.

Step 6.) Go-to settings, compatibility, highest Proton. Accept.

Step 7.) Look at the various community settings for controls. I downloaded all of them to try.

Step 8.) Launch Launcher Titanium.bat

Still unplayable at the moment, but I can move! I'll have to get creative with hot buttons. I like the 1-8 on buttons+dpad, then Ctrl on a bumper. Gives you 16 actions you can take.

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.

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").

As I said wifi gets a little wonky from time to time in the server pop screen try using a ethernet cable connection or reload the server screen until they pop up.

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.
