How to use Vortex on Steam Deck

ColoringNoon·2 years ago

First off, you gotta understand that Vortex is meant for modding games, and using it on the Steam Deck isn't straightforward because the Steam Deck runs on SteamOS by default. But don't fret! Switch your Steam Deck to Desktop Mode first. Then, install Vortex from the official website. Remember, you'll need to install it through a compatibility layer like Proton or a similar tool since Vortex is a Windows app. Once you've got Vortex installed, you can add your games to it and start modding. Just make sure the games you're modding are supported by Vortex and that you're comfortable using Proton or other compatibility layers.

Honestly, using Vortex on Steam Deck is more hassle than it's worth. Better to stick with games that don't need mods.
