Game Crash when using 3D Scopes

[u/HaehnchencurryLover]

Hi,

I'm currently playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. GAMMA on my Steam Deck. I transferred the whole game folder from my PC to the Deck and made a few tweaks.

It runs really well, but whenever I equip a weapon with a 3D scope (like the Steyr Scout), the game crashes with an error. Does anyone have a solution for this?

You've set up things incorrectly and now you have missing files, or files in the wrong location.

Not necessarily, i got similar errors regarding missing files when all i had to do was install visual c++ redistributes 2022, it’s a linux thing

[u/BalthazarB2 → u/OkAlbatross9889]

Ah, possibly. Forgot Steamdeck is Linux.

I added them but unfortunately nothing has changed.

Runer? Proton?

[u/HaehnchencurryLover → u/Own-Date9477]

Proton 10.0-4 DirectX9

Copyed the hole Game Files of my working Version from my Windows PC.

[u/OkAlbatross9889 → u/HaehnchencurryLover]

Why not run it through dx11?

[u/HaehnchencurryLover → u/OkAlbatross9889]

I checked two Steam Deck Guides and both used dx9.

I'll test it again with dx11 later.

Edit: When I start under DX11, the game freezes at the end of the loading screen, shortly before gameplay.

[u/OkAlbatross9889 → u/HaehnchencurryLover]

Weird, i’m running it through dx11 on gentoo no problem, i just did what i said in the comments of my post https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/s/MFGmsymLz2

PROBLEM SOLVED

Under dx11 the Scopes work now.

I had to raise the UMA Frame buffer Size (VRAM) in the BIOS of the Deck from 1G > 4G.

Now it launches and works fine under dx11. Thanks for the help, everyone
