- Steam Deck will install the Native version of Baldur’s Gate 3 with Hotfix #34.
- To verify the correct build, check the game’s Properties in Steam and select a Linux Runtime version.
- The Native version reduces CPU usage and memory consumption compared to the Proton version.
- Players can switch back to the Proton version via the Compatibility tab in Steam.
- Larian does not support Linux; the Native build is only for Steam Deck.
- Save locations differ between Proton (compatdata folder) and Native versions (Larian Studios folder).
- Steam Cloud syncs recent saves to the Native version automatically.
- Manual save transfer is possible via Desktop Mode for those without Cloud saves.
- Old saves remain in storage unless manually deleted.
- Mods transfer automatically if connected to mod.io; otherwise, manual transfer is needed.
