Eternity Engine on Steam Deck?

Recommended Posts

Any chance of a Discovery Store build? 👀 Barring that, can anyone point me to something showing how to get Eternity Engine running on Arch Linux, or the steam deck in particular?

 

I've fallen down the "Doom on Steam Deck" rabbit hole, and got GZdoom and ZDL working pretty seamlessly, but having trouble with some others

I've actually done that, but I haven't gotten it to work through ZDL. Sorry should have elaborated lol

ZDL probably isn't going to work well, but fortunately with Eternity you don't need it. There's an in engine wad loader in the second page of the options.

Thank you so much for the tip! I can't believe I forgot about that. I got it working now, thank you :)

 

Last oddity I need to solve: Music doesn't play by default using Proton but changing to ADLMIDI in sound does- doesn't sound great but it plays at least lol. I think with tinkering in sound options I might be able to get this nailed down. I've noticed a lot of oddities in SFX clipping incorrectly and missing MIDI playback when running things through Proton so that isn't an EE-specific problem.  Thank you so much for your help @Edward850. Once I get music working I'm playing through Heartland again

Ah yes known limitation. The default SDL midi uses the system midi device, to which for proton (or Linux?) there is none. ADL is a software synth and this works regardless.
