Gears 5 - Steam Deck - How to Make it Work - Gameplay and Video Settings
Gears 5 requires a bit of tinkering to be able to make it work on the Steam Deck, but it is worth it because the game looks and feels very good. The graphics are pretty high turned up and still manages close to 60FPS.
In this Video you will find how to make it work, the video settings I used and some gameplay footage.
Tinker steps link: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3042#issuecomment-1046904681
WORKS ONLY WITH VERSION 1.1.122.0 (latest patch on April 26)
N.A. I've checked with the latest version and this still works.
Steps:
Rename EasyAntiCheat folder to anything in %gamefolder%/GearGame/Binaries/Steam
Rename Gears5.exe to Gears5_EAC.exe (original Gears5_EAC.exe rename to anything)
Rename GFSDK_Aftermath_Lib.x64.dll in %gamefolder%/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/GFSDK_Aftermath/x64/ to gfsdk.dll
N.A. If you need assistance on how to get files on your steam deck you can use this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTpyxQoEgvQ
Place this dll (GFSDK_Aftermath_Lib.x64.zip) to the %gamefolder%/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/GFSDK_Aftermath/x64/
If you don't trust someone who suggests you use a dll, then you can build it yourself
gfsdk_source.zip (new value for patching is 0xE8, 0xb1, 0x3a, 0x31, 0x03, 0x90)
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -shared -o GFSDK_Aftermath_Lib.x64.dll gfsdk.c GFSDK_Aftermath_Lib.x64.def -s
Of course EAC doesn't work (multiplayer may not work)
Gameplay is captured on the Steam Deck from the Steam version of Gears 5 (Ultimate edition).
