Went into desktop mode & used Discover to get Warehouse for Flatpack management, then used it to downgrade Lutris to the previous version (& disabled updates). Everything working a-ok since downgrading Lutris (though I know this is - hopefully - just a temporary fix).
Special thanks to Kindred for suggesting the Lutris downgrade as a fix.

Hello, I am currently experiencing an issue with Lua. When launching the game I'm getting a "failed to load init.lua" error. It was working fine yesterday afternoon (Dec102024). I tried a fresh install with no success, same issue on two separate Steam decks.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm really enjoying this server and I hope to be able to play a lot more!
*Edit still getting same error as of recent update, included lutris logs this time

What are y’all using for graphics settings in game and performance settings in steam ui?
I feel for a 20 year old game I should be getting a lot more battery life than I am and not getting the temps I am. Like it’s manageable 2 hour sessions thought when I play The Division 2 I am almost getting 3 hours but PSO BB seems to drain my battery quite a bit for such a minimally demanding game. I have TDP to 10, GPU clocked to 400 MHz. (Which was the lowest I could go without experiencing any frame dips), even when just using default steam fam control (less power draw than my personal preference within FANtastic.)
Within game settings I have Windowed, Resolution set to 1280x800, Direct3D11, MSAA 2x, AF 2x, Fast StartUp = On, Depth of Field = On, Ambient Occlusion = Low, dgVoodoo model = auto, dgVoodoo VRAM = 4096mb. I don’t get low fps or anything of that nature purely feel I’m not getting as much time outta a session as I should. Am I just crazy, complaining for nothing, or am I doing something wrong

Turn off DoF and AO. Lower shadows setting from the highest slider. BB will run (mostly) okay at 5-7TDP with 2x MSAA (sometimes I'll get dips in chaotic CCA/Seabed situations but nothing unplayable.)
AF is negligible; you can put it at 16x although you probably wouldn't notice any difference from 8x outside of Crater Interior if you stare. So that is a tiny bit of free performance you can claw back.
Personally I think DoF/AO look like shit on BB too though...
That being said PSO is poorly optimized so I don't know if you can expect more than 4 hours without giving up MSAA and Advanced Effects.

Hi, I installed the game on my Steam deck via Lutris, but even after deleting the plugins files, the font just looks super weird.
How could I go about setting everything to look at vanilla as possible?
Ironically I suppose, the one single thing I WOULD be down for changing is to use the original Dreamcast version’s title screen, assuming it isn’t some massive headache (and no worries if it is).
