ESO on Steam Deck

Ballermfrau · October 2021

Hope we get full support for the Steam Deck. Valve has a certification program, would be great if ESO will work seamlessly on the Deck. I would buy ESO on Steam again if this will be the case!

Why would you buy it again? Iirc it’s the same library or did you buy outside steam?

Yeah had ESO since launch, so always used the launcher.

I linked my old account to Steam and I can launch it through Steam or through the normal launcher. Works either way, but I don't think it records the hours in steam if you don't launch it through Steam. Its installed twice though so takes up twice the space.

Good for casual PvE but PvP and progresive PvE... Well nope.

Sounds like guaranteed eye strain in the long term.

Eh I already play ESO on my phone with Stadia when away from PC/Steam like in bed, in the bathroom or at work; all I needed was an attachment controller so I went with razer's kishi.

ok one thing I have to say about the video ...

I don't know what version of ESO he's running....

I am owner of a Steam deck 512 GB and have the non-steam version of eso to run get there but the gamepad is not recognized by the deck so currently not usable for me.

Test that it works I could by using my PC via steam link to the deck accessed to use my keyboard and mouse.
Alternatively, I could connect a mouse and keyboard via USB-C hub but remotely quickly test and set up was the first step.

in further steps I must probably test an Xbox controller with the deck via Bluetooth to pair many times I can then operate ESO ...

at the next Steam sale I can think about whether I buy the basic version of steam to test it or ZOS gives me a key what I do not really believe now ...

EDIT:
ok i am further ^^
I have now got the gamepad to run:
parameter:
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_SET_GAME_DRIVE=1 %command%

in the settings in the game must then explicitly gamepad mode be activated.

it works over game mode in desktop mode you dont get the onscreen keyboard overlay to login
