P99 STEAMDECK STEP BY STEP

[framk71389]

hey guys i am working dilligently at a button layout for this but i want to make it perfect and functional but easy to use. i have the joysticks mapped out what i would consider almost perfectly to how a normal two joystick game would work so far(left stick movement right stick camera angle) including a zoom in zoom out feature that just utilizes the joystick click. right now i am working on action layers for all the spells hotkeys and combat abilities after that i plan to make a radial wheel on the left trackpad for simple commands and the right track is a mouse

I got the game working which actually runs better than on windows 11. However music does not play. I get player sounds but city music does not work

Haha I take it you bought a steam deck?

[framk71389]

my custom button layout is up in community layouts! most of the basics are mapped just read the description and it will tell you how to use and what is mapped should be a very good baseline for anyone to come in and make a couple tweaks to get it how they like it! Its called franks experimental 2.0!

FYI there are a good half dozen community layouts available to use and check out. If you are not seeing them, make sure that when you went to add the non-steam game you added the file "Launch Titanium.bat" file. As long as you didn't change the name of the game on Steam after that, you should see them under Community Layouts.

My main issues with P99 on Steam deck so far:

1. My hotbar does not save after each time I exit the game
2. No music/MIDI

If anyone knows fixes for any of the above lmk.

Immediately after reading this thread, lol. How cool is mobile EQ?!

I got it up and running on steam deck, but the game is very dark. It feels like nighttime everywhere I go, even when it's 1pm. Anyone else experiencing this?

You can get the music working by following the instructions here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil...?id=2809933598

Also, if anyone is interested, I spent quite some time in setting up a template for the Steam Controller that binds just about every in-game function I can think of. Haven't tested it on the Steam Deck yet but if anyone is interested it's available at steam://controllerconfig/everquest/2900007499.

Even though all the commands are named, it will take a while to remap all your in-game keys to match, so here's the relevant section from my eqclient.ini for the corresponding keymappings.

I got it running tonight! The original step by step guide was a little vague in my opinion.

Here are the explicit steps without handwaving the install part.

Step 1.) Copy your EQ folder from your PC on either a SD card or your Google drive.

Step 2.) Paste that folder into the /home/deck/ folder using desktop mode.

Step 3.) In desktop mode, open steam, add game, browse to your EQ folder and add Launcher Titanium.bat

Step 4.) Edit you eqclient.ini resolution to 1280x800

Step 5.) Go back to gaming mode, select library, tab to non Steam games.

Step 6.) Go-to settings, compatibility, highest Proton. Accept.

Step 7.) Look at the various community settings for controls. I downloaded all of them to try.

Step 8.) Launch Launcher Titanium.bat

Still unplayable at the moment, but I can move! I'll have to get creative with hot buttons. I like the 1-8 on buttons+dpad, then Ctrl on a bumper. Gives you 16 actions you can take.
