Hello!

I’ve been a somewhat new member of the community here. My crummy windows PC can’t really handle any games outside of maybe some GBA emulators.

However! I recently was gifted a Steam Deck.

As a test, ages ago, I tried to set up Yuzu and Tears of the Kingdom on my W11 machine.

It crashed on launch, but BG3 didn’t! It ran on 2 frames per second.

I have a few other similar games that I would love to play on my Deck. But I’m not sure how to get the files transferred!

I tried using KDE Connect to move the Repacked files over, but couldn’t get that working.

I then tried dropping the repacks into a USB and transferring that, but it didn’t seem to work either — the file wasn’t recognized.

Should I just set up my Steam Deck from scratch and ignore my seedbox of a laptop?

You should be able to access the laptop in some way. If it is an actual seedbox there may be some tool for access built in, or you could use ftp or similar file server software on the laptop, router or the Deck itself. For me, kdeconnect works sometimes but USB absolutely does. You may have some different underlying issue, maybe something's broken? I'm downloading most of my games on the Deck itself anyway since using two devices at the same time feels more tiring.
