When trying to find out which games can be played on the Steam Deck or not, most people will default to Valve’s official system: The Steam Deck Verified system. Valve marks games based on their own internal tests to see which are perfectly playable on the Steam Deck, which are playable with some minor issues here and there, and which aren’t playable at all. However, the system isn’t perfect, and some games that are Verified are not the best to actually play. But it also goes both ways. There are also lots of Unsupported games that actually are playable on the Steam Deck.
So, in this weekly series, I want to focus on those “Unsupported” games, hence The Unsupported Report. Each week, we will take a look at 2-3 games to see if they are actually unplayable on the Deck, and if they are, we will see if there’s a way to make them playable and detail it. With almost 4,800 games rated Unsupported, not counting VR games, I want to take a look and see if these ratings are actually legitimate or if Valve missed something.
Last week, we checked out Starlink: Battle for Atlas, Sonic Adventure DX, and Ys Origin, and for this week, we have three new games to play and see if they are playable, and if not, how we can make them so.
Trinity Trigger is the newest game of the three here, and is one that I reviewed when it was released. Oddly enough, it was given the Unsupported badge, despite launching and running nearly perfectly when I reviewed it two years ago. When I looked at SteamDB, there was no change; the game just never got any rating until three weeks ago, and it was rated Unsupported. So, I wanted to take this opportunity to check back in with it and see if something had happened that caused the rating.
Oddly enough, it doesn’t seem like anything has changed. The game is running at 90 FPS with low battery drain, and it has no issues whatsoever. Honestly, this feels like a perfect game to play on the Steam Deck and should get the Verified badge. I wish Valve were more detailed with their Unsupported badge, instead of just saying they are working on adding support, but it is what it is.
However, it’s clear as day that Trinity Trigger’s Unsupported rating is unwarranted.
Just Cause 2 was one of my favorite games I played on PC back in the day. Going around an open world, destroying buildings, stealing cars, and shooting enemies was just so much fun. I noticed that the game is rated as Unsupported for the Steam Deck, with Valve needing to add support for the Deck, but reports for the game are all over the place.
Some say it works right out of the box, others say we need to custom install a DLL or EXE, or the process will just stall on “updating executable.” The stalling occurred no matter which Proton layer I tried, including Proton 10.0-3, 9.0-4, Experimental, and Proton GE 10-26. It’s a weird conundrum, especially since I have played Just Cause 2 on the Steam Deck in the past. However, for me, it stalled at “Updating executable” and refused to start the game.
However, I was able to get the game working. I had to use the custom .exe file and overwrite the original .exe in the Just Cause 2 game directory. After that, I had to use protontricks to install the d3dcompiler47.dll into the directory. After both of those are done, the game will take about 3-4 minutes to launch, but it will ultimately launch. Any subsequent launches afterwards will be much quicker.
As for performance, there should be no issues playing. It stuck to 90 FPS for me almost the entire time, and it recognizes the controller completely and feels great on the Deck. I did encounter 1 crash and I saw some warning signs a few times, but nothing that ever made me worry too much. This is a solid experience on the Deck once everything is working, but the process to get it working can be a little much.
I love the anime fighting games that Bandai Namco creates, and ever since I can remember, I have always wanted a game that would bring together multiple different anime universes into one giant game. At first, I relied on M.U.G.E.N. to create that experience, but then I discovered Jump Super Stars. This was an official game that brought together popular anime universes like Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, and One Piece, and put them against each other in combat.
However, this was an old game released on the DS, which led me to the newest iteration of the series: Jump Force. Unfortunately, the game has been taken down from Steam, so it can’t be purchased anymore, but it is still rated Unsupported. So, I wanted to quickly check it out to see if the rating made sense. While it does make sense and should be rated Unsupported, we can fix it quite easily to make it work as intended.
Now, Jump Force is rated Unsupported because the anti-cheat doesn’t support the Steam Deck, and that is clear as day when trying to launch the game without any changes. It will ultimately just pop up an error and then immediately close the game. So, out of the box, it is Unsupported. But we can get around this. By forcing the Proton GE compatibility layer, we can bypass this error and play the game. You can follow our guide on how to get Proton GE, but it’s ultimately quite easy.
As for performance, Jump Force defaults to the High graphics settings, and it handles it pretty well. For the most part, it can stick to 60 FPS with some minor dips into the 57 FPS range. There are still some attacks, like Goku’s Super Spirit Bomb, that can bring down the framerate below 50 FPS. However, by bringing Shadows and Anti-Aliasing to Medium, this can be avoided. There are still some dips, which can be almost completely eliminated by setting everything to Low, but it makes the game look much worse. The dips aren’t the worst, though, and are still very playable.
The game has been discontinued, so no online functions are working in general, but playing the game alone is still possible, along with local multiplayer or remote play. So, while I would consider the game’s Unsupported rating legitimate, it can still be played on the Deck with only limitations that come from the game’s online service ending.
And that’s all for this week! I was actually quite surprised at how much grief Just Cause 2 gave me, and it still wouldn’t work no matter what I tried, but I am glad that Trinity Trigger and Jump Force are playable, even though the latter has no online support anymore. Check back next week for the fourth episode of The Unsupported Report.
