By recently you mean this year? The paradox launcher was broken on the steamdeck a year ago, should be working now.

Also iirc that game has a native linux version.

    No, not this year but maybe last fall, early winter. The game itself was running fine but without DLC (which neede the launcher to work) was useless to me.

    Maybe I have to give it another try but this experience was the worst possible advertisement for "gaming on Linux" 😐

    I mean there isn't much more that can be done, these days that is usually the issue with gaming in linux, either the game has anti cheat which you cannot fix or the launcher of the application changes and you have to wait for it to get fixed.

    The good news is that more studios are starting to release native versions of their linux games, so hopefully in the future this isn't as much of an issue.

    Its certainly not as likely to run a game as windows, but I also think you just go INCREDIBLY unlucky with your first attempt at a game. The vast majority of games buyable on Steam can be run at this point out of the box (some might be a bit jank for the Steamdeck though)
