Can confirm that the Steam achievements feature doesn't work on the Steam Deck in Desktop or Game mode. I never mentioned it because I don't think it's important and OP can't do anything about it anyway without a Steam Deck.

It would have been more helpful if I had simply stated the minor difference in the installation instructions. My bad.

• Run Lutris, click the + button, and then Add a locally installed game.
• Name your game and select Wine from the Executor dropdown menu.
• Go to the Game Options tab, Browse, and locate the pack's installation executable.
• Go to the Wine Prefix field and identify a folder for the installation such as /home/deck/FF7_SYW_Unified then click Save.
• Click on your game, and at the bottom of the window, click the wine glass icon, then select Winetricks. A new window appears in the taskbar, click on it.

Other than that, the instructions are great.

This is working well on the Steam Deck OLED following the directions. You can't access Winetricks per the instructions without first defining a path for the installation. It may be that whoever developed the steps was using an older version of Lutris that automatically chooses a path?

The one "problem" on the OLED Steam Deck is that the package enables HDR which doesn't work on the Steam Deck right now. The Steam Deck doesn't offer a way to turn off HDR in Game Mode. This means the colors are completely blown out in Game Mode. HDR isn't supported in Desktop Mode on the Steam Deck so the modified game looks and plays wonderfully in Desktop Mode. The other problem in Game Mode on Steam Deck is that the configurator doesn't scale correctly and is off the screen on the right side cutting off the text. In Desktop Mode it's perfect and doesn't even take up the whole screen meaning all the text looks perfect.

It would be great if there was a way to disable HDR support in the configurator. I assume at some point Valve will add a way to turn HDR on and off for a given game in Game Scope but for now this patch looks very wrong in that mode. It's kind of like looking at a film negative instead of the photo.

Thank you, Satsuki! I never knew FF7 could look that amazing.
