Setup in desktop mode
  1. In Steam set Gothic beta version to "workshop".

  2. Install the game.

  3. Delete "~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Gothic/system/SystemPack.ini" file (new default will be created by Union).

  4. Subscribe mods in workshop: (you can also do this on your PC)
    - Union - patch for Gothic 1 (https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2787491081)
    - zGamePad - complete gamepad support (https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2793930041)
    - Ninja (https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2786936496)
    - Gothic 1 Community Patch (https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2789245548)
    - Mss32.dll - Union Linux sound fix (https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2813524957) - my mod
    But feel free to experiment with other mods.

  5. Optional : Workshop mods to enhance graphical quality
    - DirectX 11 Renderer by SaiyansKing (https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2812601127)
    - Texture Pack By Artemiano (https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2789892004&searchtext=)

  6. Install ProtonUp-Qt and protontricks from desktop store or terminal:
    $ flatpak install net.davidotek.pupgui2
    $ flatpak install com.github.Matoking.protontricks

  7. Run the ProtonUp-Qt desktop app and install a latest Proton-GE (currently GE-Proton7-31, default Proton 7.0 and Experimental has currently a problem with symlinks and step 9 would fail).

  8. Restart Steam and in Gothic properties set the compatibility tool to the downloaded Proton-GE.

  9. Run the game until the mod launcher and exit (to generate game Proton prefix 65540).

  10. Install directmusic using protontricks from terminal:
    $ flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks 65540 directmusic

  11. Open "~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/65540/pfx/user.reg" file in text editor:
    In the section
    [Software\\Wine\\DllOverrides]
    add this line
    "ddraw"="native,builtin"
    this enables the DirectX 11 renderer
    and delete
    "*dsound"="native"
    this fixes some minor sound delay and crackling
    Save and close.

  12. Run the game to mod launcher.
    - In Deck UI set the gamepad scheme instead of keyboard + mouse.
    - DirectX 11 settings are available in video settings or by pressing F11 any time.
    - I recommend to configure the game with monitor attached because the DX 11 menu is too small on Deck screen and you need to make sure 1280x800 is set.
    - Also there are various options in the "~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Gothic/system/SystemPack.ini" file, which are not possible to configure in-game.
    - Controller screen overlay can be disable in-game.
    - Exiting the game returns to mod launcher, which needs to be killed using steam menu, there is no close button.

Optional: Set framerate limit to 40 and TDP to 5W for optimal battery life.

Enjoy Gothic on your Steamdeck with working background music, cutscenes and proper gamepad controls.

Everything works perfectly, the videos and music but I cannot use any sort of input besides the touchscreen… any tips?

For some reason I got error messages while trying to install directmusic via the terminal so I installed protontricks via the Discoverystore and used the gui when opening the program after installing with the "launch" button in the Discoverystore and following the gui.

Install directmusic using protontricks from terminal:

For anyone having issues getting the cutscenes to display properly, you may need to edit the "~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Gothic/system/SystemPack.ini" file and enable Borderless Windowed mode. I spent about 2 hours trying to fix this game and get it running on my Linux desktop PC and absolutely nothing worked until I turned that option on.

Which controller template are you guys using?

Here is a one-line command for step 11:


sed -i -e 's/^"\*dsound"="native"$/"ddraw"="native,builtin"/' ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/65540/pfx/user.reg
