Ephinea PSO BB on Steam Deck (Official Thread)

[13Lavender]

Hey, first time trying to get this working on Steam Deck. It seems to install fine, but when I try to launch the game it simply doesn't. Here are the logs—any ideas?

I was getting the 256 error when installing as well as other folks in this thread, and my issue and solution were...interesting.

After someone suggested that their installer wasn't downloading properly and they got it manually, I did the same, and found my router was blocking the URL found in the Lutris PSOBB JSON. I don't know why my router dislikes the URL, but making the link https rather than http fixed that.

So I downloaded the JSON from the Lutris CDN and edited the link to the file to be https rather than http, pointed Lutris at it rather than searching via Lutris, and it worked just fine!

Just registered to say thank you - I was having the same issue and this fixed it.

To anyone in the future having this issue, if you use Lutris' "search the Lutris website for installers" option, when you start the install it should take a while to download the PSOBB installer and the github file.
If you don't have to wait while the bars fill up while it downloads, it's not downloading! Which obviously means there's no installer to execute. If this happens for you, try MBD's suggestion.

I went to the PSOBB page on the Lutris site, clicked the drop-down arrow on the install button for "Official - Pre-installed for the Ephinea server with the base Lua addon" and downloaded the script.
Open it in a text editor, find the pioneer2 link and change http to https, save, then use the "Install from local script" option in Lutris and select your modified JSON file.
