Damn that’s pretty awesome. So this is the actual developer of ESO, that is spending time making their game compatible with Linux?

Sounds like it — it was posted by The Elder Scrolls Online, not Valve. (Edit: Yes, of course this still means Proton.)

Not necessarily. My understanding is that you can earn a green check as long as your game feels like a native console experience, even if it’s running on Proton

Wine/proton are great but not perfect. Lots of games don’t work through proton. “Compatible with linux” can mean doing the work to make sure your windows build is proton friendly and will work on Linux. It doesn’t have to mean Linux native.

Yeah, I played it for a lot of time on my Linux desktop, and I never understood why it was unplayable on Steamdeck Nice work!

Great to hear. Im over my MMO grinding days, but ESO is still fun to hop in an for an hour and do some quests.

How is it solo?

Been considering an mmo but would want one that’s possible solo. Realize that’s counterintuitive but was curious.

Thats the main way I play tbh.

The voice acting is nice, but I won’t lie questing is a bit shallower than with Skyrim. Lots of collectables, horizontal progression. Its a nice package!

It has options for group dungeons and I quite enjoyed the PvP for when you get that multiplayer itch.

Also world chat keeps things interesting lmao.

That seems awesome. But I wonder how it will do with Add-ons that you can install on the PC version. I can’t play without them since the QOL additions just make everything so much better.

Add-ons work just fine. You can even get a native version of the add-on manager Minion from Flathub. Not all of addons support the gamepad input mode, but that’s the same situation it is on Windows.

That’s great!

Doesn’t that game require a massive amount of storage with all the expansions/add-ons installed? Doesn’t seem very Deck friendly, IMO. Especially for base model Decks. It’s one of the main reasons I don’t bother playing BG3 on it, either.

Edit: I just looked and can’t get a concise answer, seems like tons of players’ install size differs by notable margins. Official site says it needs roughly ~95GB plus another ~30GB during the install process (guessing for temp install files during decompression/compression). Meanwhile, some players report folder sizes ranging from ~97GB all the way up to ~150GB. Regardless, seems ~95GB is the bare minimum which is still a lot for even the 500GB Deck models. And there’s no way the game would run comfortably off an SD card.

I’m going to have to spend some more time playing it again! It worked fine on my desktop install previously, so I’m curious to know what they changed to bump it to verified. I’m guessing UI tweaks or something with the launcher.
