with the gog update I purchased this but for the life of me I cannot get it to play on the steam deck. I DL the offline installer and install the game. it goes fine. at the end of the install I click launch and it works perfectly. but when you close the game and set silent hill 4.exe as the launcher, you either get cannot initilize directX, or the game did not install properly error popups.
I am not reinstalling the game every time I want to launch it.
looking online is topics from 2+ years ago talking about windows registry entries or running the entire game through bottles? anyone have any solutions? the fact the game launches just fine after install tells me it shouldn't need too many hoops to jump through, I just don't know which ones.
anyone have ideas? would be appreciated.
