Im at a total lose with KH1 Critical Mix Plus on Steam Deck Should i give up?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. April 2026 - 12:35

I have tried everything under the digital sun possible to get this stupid mod working i tried editing the scripts editing the files moving the files transfering, lua backend , lua frontend, openkh ALL OF THEM AND NONE ARE WORKING!!!

With doing everything it either downloads/extracts into infinity or doesnt install at all and im still stuck at the same point of KH1 CritMixPlus not loading the difficulty settings and crashing

What can i possibly do to get this mod fully working i have wasted hours every page i visit keeps not explaining or giving me contradictory answers like "outdate" or "only work with X and Y" Should i just give up at this point and assume i can never play this mod on steam deck?

Can I transfer Windows games directly to a Linux system?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. April 2026 - 11:12

I want to make the switch to Linux (Specifically CachyOS). I know that Steam has Proton which should make my non Linux games compatible. I have a couple games that are big and I don't want to have to redownload (The Finals, SW Battlefront II, Satisfactory, SW Jedi Fallen Order). Would it work to transfer the files onto the new system or do I need to redownload them to get them to launch properly?

Anybody play ARK on proton?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. April 2026 - 11:06

Oh, my friend want to try linux, and he want to playing ARK, so I recommend proton

I know it can work well, but I don't know weather some mods like "Awesome Spyglass" or "Structures Plus" can work well too.

Actually I believe the mods should work well, as they just call the api provided by ue. But my friend insists that these mod can nerver run on linux. I just a little curious, but I don't find any posts about successfully run the game with the mod

Could this affect the APKs they use for Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21. April 2026 - 09:44

I know that in September, Google will block unverified APKs outside of Google Play, but I'm wondering, could this also affect Linux? (Consider how Sober or Minecraft launchers for Bedrock use the Android version and are ported to Linux.) Even so, could it still be affected, or not?
