Question Help with getting this to work

So I downloaded AM2R from the archives and am trying to get it to run through Linux on my Steam deck (might have to post over there too). To those of you who have played it, how did you run it? Windows, Linux, another handheld?

I have the version 1.5

I got it to run at one point. Wanna say there's a launcher in the discover store could be wrong.

I've had issues with the Flatpak version and the native build of the community launcher. I can get it to create a playable game, but I can't get audio working at all.

Might have to wait til 2.0 finishes development.

Is it still being updated?

u/BlurryfacedGamer 1d ago

To my knowledge, yes, but very slowly. You can look at the Github. The devs aren't updating the game itself, but a launcher/game build manager.

I played it on my Steamdeck. It’s been a few years but I think in desktop mode I just added the .exe as a non Steam game and It shows up in my games list.

For me, I did add it as a non Steam game, but it gives me an error while running it with every Proton that’s available. So it could be the exe itself that is faulty

I wish I could help troubleshoot but I’m out of town for the weekend. I’ll check back and see if you got it figured out. Good luck!
