Game freezing with Intel i3 / Dual core CPUs

[MonkieMurdie-1548]

if you you running a 2c 4t 8gb system and still having problems

if so i advise shutting down your discord webbrowsers steam epic game stoes etc etc, your ow2 taxes 8gb systems.

then try this below, take the <3.5gb thing seriously

EDIT
for 12 and 16gb users make sure you have about 4.5-5gb freespace with all your junk open.

[Main Thread] Game freezing with Intel i3 / Dual core CPUs

like i said yesterday it does with mines too reset res and . MEDIUM SETTINGS I know you want to ultra 144 this bad boy but lets see if we can get you some games. slow and steady same as before set up your stuff shut down all other stuff see if task manger says mem used is about 3.5gb or less load battle.net/ cog wheel (game settings)/app/ in this menu there a few things to or atleast i did a) “on launch of game” exit battle.net completely then down to overwatch 2 and copy this into comman…

I am all for welcoming peep to the relevant forum areas

But your running a ryzen zen2 steam deck. I can’t help but think hanging around this specific forum thread is a bit wasted for you.
Steamdeck certainly got its fanboi momvent going I a quick google of steamdeck ow2 there videos of folk with it.

so what i am saying is there must be a place in the internet for you guys I STRONGLY SUGGESTS searching the stream forums for steamdeck OW2 i cannot imagine there are no user groups there. then i suggest ow2 forum steamdeck search.

I havent seen anybody but you on this thread with a deck. and the linux bois who i have no problem being here co they are running intels but full fat linux systems are probably the guys to most help you out but they dont run ryzen…

I hope you find a some groups to help you out get it working then write your own forum topic right here on the technical forums about how you solved the steadeck problem and what the problem was.

SteamOS/SteamDeck is just Debian Linux
and i’m a ryzen 9 with a 5700xt 8gb nitro & 32gb

[MonkieMurdie-1548]

great see some linux help already try searching Debian Linux OW2.

I thought it was beskoke mod version though optimed for steam deck

@pianoless-1721

Still didn’t solve anything for me

[Angry84-1326]

I linked above a thread to help, but i can find another shortly i put basic instructions with

[Angry84-1326]

OW2 Crash"Application encountered and unexpected error" - #6 by Lake-11294 is the specific post.

Combine that with the other a few posts above or yell out as would love to see some people try the linux route / confirm working on larger group (use caution/spare harddrive as i always suggest)

Sorry for quick reply/edits as doing between rounds while on the the above video/stream

[MonkieMurdie-1548]

you know what I have a old not used 250gb ssd i could swap on my itx.

you might convince me to setup a linux on that as i see the comment about swapping the drive for windows out.

[Angry84-1326]

Take it slow, use google. n take notes , its 2022 = give linux love

• Remove all drives except for the new linux one = incase you have storage / can not select the wrong one (at least for testing)

[MonkieMurdie-1548]

APPOLOGIES EVERYONE OFF TOPIC

what’s the easiest build to install that kinda does auto driver pulls and stuff, I saw a LTT youtube challange i think earlier this year on gaming on linux but they both used diffrent versions? and that appeared to be a real challenge.

and what’s the easiest to to get ow2 running?

EDIT for post below so not creating a new post
wow i don’t know if i have time for this till after the new year as a project.

unix.stackexchange. com/questions/104879/free-or-non-free-what-is-the-question

[Angry84-1326]

iso i used debian-live-11.5.0-amd64-kde+nonfree (includes drivers)

• you want non-free if using debian (or based such as ubuntu)
• i use debaian because its the base of many distros with changes
• popOs comes to mind (never used, i just installed a gaming kernel linux on debian)
• apart from GPU / amd drivers (easy find), did not need drivers with the non-free (popos is similar i believe)

start with the base drivers as they are good/ upddate only whats needed
edit: unix.stackexchange. com is your best source vs forums

googled searched for you 1 min.

#5 How to Download Overwatch 2 on the Steam Deck — How?

If you want to download Overwatch 2 on your Steam deck, it gets tricky — but not impossible. First, let’s say that the shooter wasn’t natively designed for Valve’s handheld console. So you’ll need various third-party apps:

1. Install the “Bottles” app on your Steam deck.
2. Now create a new bottle, give it a suitable name and select the Gaming function.
3. Go to the settings of Bottles and look for the tab “Runners”.
4. Download the latest version of “Caffe” here.
5. Then click on the “Preferences” setting of your bottle and search for System, then Runner Components. Select Caffe here.
6. Now click on “Installers” and select “Blizzard Battle.net”.

Now just install the launcher, log in and search for OW2 in the store. You’ve already figured out how to find the Overwatch 2 download on your Steam deck.

this means alittle something to me but its more relevant to angry I dont know if its jailbreaked or is something you can do to linux right off the bat. NOR DO I or ANGRY take any responsibilty for this as clearly as said in the text isn’t supported as a platform (at this time) on steamdeck os.

STILL STRONGLY recommend finding a forum user group of deck users to help you work though your issues.

@Angry84-1326

SteamOS/SteamDeck is just Debian Linux

[Angry84-1326]

At a quick glance, that looks to be about the right process (i dont have a StreamDeck, but again its just linux in a handheld/custom unmaintined distro from steam.

I do not believe it is any form of JailBreaking the device, its sorta common practice for people to install other launchers/runners on SteamDecks but unless steam have some hidden license/agreement its no different from installing it officially on a linux desktop (arm vs x64/x86)

SteamDeck itself is already using Valves Proton to run non native linux games/windows games. If in doubt/research the terms around it but most likley is still ussing the Arch license or similar (correction for above as i thought it was still debian, its now Arch based)

As for the process, well its not hard and these days most apps make it fairly easy to do this stuff. Its more understanding there is always a chance it might stop your unit from booting or some other issue (upto you to judge the quality of the product/see videos about bottles on steamdeck)

• Also you can replace Bottles with Lutris but i think bottles is a little more user friendly

Can you keep updating us if it still working

Thanks

[SkyHazard-2789]

i got these reports if any one can explain it maybe it’s a fix

[pianoless-1721]

Thanks so much for checking for me, appreciate you taking the time.

When I installed OW1, I followed a different procedure and I am hesitant to completely uninstall and then reinstall using Bottles. I’m not all that tech savvy, so for now, I’m thinking it might be worth waiting for a Blizzard fix.

I’m just worried they’ll take forever to fix it

[Dan-25631]

2 days without a crash

[Kazêi98-1947]

–tank_WorkerThreadCount 2 worked for me. Thx for those who figured out that But I’m still sad that we have to do this kind of stuff to play a game that should be running fine like it was a week ago .-.

[Zeltor-21212]

I can confirm this:
My buddy has an i3 6100 and the game froze constantly within like 5 minutes. (Tried literally everything ingame/indrivers/inOS)
Suggested him to buy a second hand i5 6500 for like 25 bucks and holy moly, it works…we can finally play together

[MonkieMurdie-1548]

i don’t how it works but it sounded like bottle is just a application shell to run a contained environment you shouldn’t need to uninstall overwatch.

however i know from a few forum thread I have skimmed on linux that the carfe seems important for running ow2. the flatpack thing vrs non flatpack is beyond me but bottles has a install b net within that environment.

heres a yt video of a guy showing and highlighting a bnet

youtube. com/watch?v=o2HUNRPUDkU (take out the space)

@Angry84-1326

Also you can replace Bottles with Lutris but i think bottles is a little more user friendly

heres a yt video but i would respond to angrey as he is way more clued up on it IMHO

After all he wrote this thead for lutris and caffe for ow2 you should be writing in that thread and give him a love heart try promote it
