Please do not share any links. I just want to talk about the game.

I managed to get it running under Bottles, but the controller doesn't work. It's basically GTA: Vice City running under the GTA4 engine and honestly- the amount of effort they put into this is insane.

Did you start it in game mode or on desktop? You can add a shortcut to Steam directly from Bottles, then start it in game mode and the controller should work.

I eventually got it working under very strange conditions. I had to grab the xinput1_3.dll from the Internet and tell Bottles to set it as one of my dll overrides.

The game now boots fine- but the graphics WILL corrupt every time you load the game. Changing certain settings (like messing with the Reflection quality or the resolution) fixes the graphics.

It's a pretty annoying issue atm, but at least I can confirm this game does work on Steamdeck via Bottles.
