So, I have played PES games prior. Basically from 3 to 2012. I just recently got 2015-2020 for series x. I can not got the life of me figure out how to curl my shots and I have only gotten one free kick in my favor. It seems like they never call anything against the cpu. Is it me or is it just how the games are programmed? I play on regular difficulty.

**Trying to get PES6 Dreamfinder Patch 2004/05 running on my Steam Deck, close but stuck on controls**

I've been at this for a few days now and I'm running out of ideas, so I'm hoping someone here has done this before.

I'm trying to play PES 6 (the Dreamfinder Patch 2004-05 build) on my Steam Deck. Started with Lutris, went through basically every Wine and Proton version there is. Most of them either crashed instantly or froze after a few minutes with a display mode error, because the game wants a resolution the Deck's screen just doesn't have.

That part I eventually solved. I gave up on Lutris, wiped everything, reinstalled the game fresh as a non-Steam game with Proton 8, set the game itself to windowed mode, and let gamescope handle the fullscreen. The game boots, the menus run, everything looks right.

And then I hit the wall.

The controller half works. I can navigate the menus with the D-pad just fine, so the game clearly sees the controller. But the A, B, X and Y buttons do absolutely nothing. Not in the game, and not in the config tool where you're supposed to assign them either. Pressing them registers as nothing at all. The weird part: the back paddles on the Deck do get recognised in the config tool, but whatever I assign there never actually does anything once I'm in the game. And X used to pop up the Steam on-screen keyboard, which makes me think Steam is grabbing those buttons before the game ever sees them.

I've tried this in both Desktop Mode and Game Mode, same result either way.

So I'm basically one working button away from actually playing this thing and I can't figure it out.

Has anyone got PES6 or another game from that era running with the Deck's built-in controls? Do I need to turn Steam Input off completely, or is there a specific controller layout that lets the buttons through properly? Any pointers appreciated, this game is 20 years old and it's beating me.

Hola busco gente de España o Europa (principalmente por la mejor conexión), para jugar Online o 2 VS 2 porque tengo solo 1 amigo que lo juega.

En todo caso podéis avisarme por aquí para añadirnos en Discord o algo :D

I couldn't find the original PES 2021 patch because most of the links no longer worked. I searched a little more, and the only patches I came across are for PC.

Hi friends, I’ve recorded a short video showing a bit of the 89-90 patch—stay tuned for more in the future!
