According to protondb.com BG3 should run okay-ish on the Steam Deck, but with some tweaks. Just from a glance it looks like people skip the launcher after initial setup and lock the fps to 30-40ish. You can find more details here:
www.protondb.com/app/1086940 Always suggest checking protondb. But looks like the vast majority of people can play it in desktop Linux and SteamDeck with slight tweaking. I’ve been waiting for the full release before playing
GE-Proton (proton-ge-custom on github) depends on and is built for use only in Steam, alongside Valve’s official Proton releases. When installed, it shows up in Steam’s “compatibility tool” list.
Wine-GE-Proton (wine-ge-custom on github) is a custom version of Wine with some hand-picked patches from Proton’s source code, built to run without Steam, either standalone or with game launchers like Lutris.
Yes, GloriousEggroll is terrible at naming. But he’s doing a good job with functionality, so getting used to his confusing names is worthwhile if you have a need for this stuff. :)
Baldur’s Gate 3 Early Access has already been working extremely well on Linux for the past few years while it was in development, so this combined with what you mentioned about their previous track record, I’d say we’ll be getting day one playability in Proton.
Yes it works if can confirm after first launch you have to login in with a larian account in the launcher but after that you can add the launcher skip flag in the launch optuons and go straight into the game.
If Stadia did well, larian studios might have released BG3 on Linux, but when Stadia tanked, so did any idea of there being any hope of a release for general Linux.
Stadia never lead to any native ports AFAIK so this is also pretty unlikely to have happened.
