According to Steam Cyberpunk is a Steam Deck verified game so I expected it to work on Bazzite on an Ally.
Unfortunately it opens the CDPR launcher and when I click Play it just goes back to Steam.
Are there some settings I need to change?
I don’t remember what it was but I recall looking up a launch argument that skipped the stupid fucking launcher.
Normal skip launcher:
–launcher-skipModded skip and startscreen skip:
-modded --launcher-skip -skipStartScreenThis guy right here has you covered.
A word of warning though, I played alternating between my beefy desktop and my steam deck, and the deck did admirable albeit at much lower settings. The only thing I simply could not play in handheld mode were street races. Frame rate and pop-in issues galore, it’s just too much for a little machine to process. Other than that the experience was great around 50fps.
As others have said, skip the launcher. I always do that on every game that does it (I’m looking at you, BG3), because who wants to see another launcher when they launch the game from a launcher?
