Forge on Steam Deck
Posted: 23 Jul 2023, 12:22At first try, seems to be working well, both regular desktop mode through the Dock and Adventure mode standalone :
I downloaded the Temurin Linux/x64/Java Runtime Environment/20 Java version from here :
https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?version=20
Then ran, in the command line, with this Java executable, desktop Forge through the scripts indicated in the .sh scripts for the 17 Java version.
(Using the snapshot build latest to 2023-07-16.)
I did have a couple of issues with first the pictures failing to download in desktop mode, then adventure mode hanging on launch, but these were due to the common Steam Deck issue with 5 Ghz Wifi routers. (The fix is to enable developer mode in the settings, then to disable the wifi power saving mode in the newly unlocked settings.)
