| Summary | 0012580: It's not possible to insert text while playing the Linux build of DF on a Steam Deck | ||||
| Description | I'm trying to play Dwarf Fortress in docked mode on a Steam Deck (Linux Native game build) but I can't get the game to insert text. Hotkeys (like pressing "m" for mining, or "y" for the labor menu) work as normal, but stuff like changing names of the dwarves doesn't. This happens both in gaming mode and desktop mode, even playing the game with the Steam Deck undocked and the onscreen Steam keyboard. But, playing the Windows build through Proton works perfectly fine, the physical keyboard is recognized and can insert text just fine, same with the onscreen Steam one. Here's the original reddit thread of the problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/171btfm/linux_version_is_super_fast_on_steam_deck_but/ DF version: 50.11 OS: SteamOS 3.4.11 for Steam Deck | ||||

This bug is still there with SteamOS 3.5.7 on steamdeck |

|
I think I found the cause of the issue and a workaround that works with version 50.11 In the game properties, set the "LAUNCH OPTIONS" field : SteamDeck=0 %command% Here is a related bug tracker issue on the SteamOS repo, it seems closely related : https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/1053 and one on the SDL GitHub : https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/8561 |

This issue has been solved with version 50.12 |
