Hi, I was interested in playing the HD version of Beyond good and evil on my Steam Deck. I did some research online and I found out that at least to 1 year ago the Steam version of the game had many issues (only french language and settings related problems). Anyone knows if those issues are still there or I can buy the game safely? Alternatively can I buy the game on gog and play it fine on my Steam Deck using Heroic game launcher? I read that the gog version is great while the Steam version is not. Lastly I could download the PS3 version since I already have the rpcs3 emulator installed, but I can't find where to download the game and how to install a pkg (since on PS3 apparently exists only a PSN version of the game and I always only installed ISOs). I don't have any preference, the important is that the game works without tinkering. Thank you ๐Ÿ™

Definitely seems like some tinkering is required, but seems like a one time procedure.

I guess the alternative would be to run a console version via emulator

Yes, I was wondering if all the tinkering is still required after 1 year. Didn't Ubisoft updated/fixed the Steam version of the game since then? ๐Ÿซค

I just installed it and gave it a test run; can confirm tinkering is still required. Without it, the audio language is French and the game only shows up in a small square and doesn't use the full screen. The game settings (which presumably fixes this) also doesn't work

Would not recommend without tinkering

The GOG version doesn't come with widescreen and controller support. I had to install a custom widescreen patch for the game and use AntiMicroX to enable controller support.

The fact that a 20th Anniversary Edition of BG&E exists leaked today, so you might want to wait for that to be a thing.
