Hi everyone!
Around a year ago I went through many steps (Boxtron and other stuff) to get Earthworm Jim running on my Steam Deck just to discover afterward that these were not needed in the end.
I think I’ve uninstalled everything but I can’t get rid of two error messages I’m getting every time I switch to desktop mode.
One of them says: Game not recogninzed as DOSBox compatible
The second one says: DOSBox argument error: “unrecognized arguments: -d3d12”
https://github.com/dreamer/boxtron/issues/58 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/11435
I’ve found two conversations on github about these, but I have to admit I don’t really know what they’re talking about and what to do.
I wouldn’t want to break my system to solve these errors as these are just minor inconveniences without any influence on functionnality. Could someone guide me on what to do?
Thanks in advance
How do you that? Should I reinstall Dosbox stagging just to get rid of these messages?
Judging solely off what you have said, sounds like you never properly uninstalled DOSBox in the first place.
Well I did everything through the app manager (Discover), so I don’t know how I could have made mistake…
Steam compatibility tools, such as Boxtron, need to install some files in users home directory. These aren’t deleted when software is uninstalled with the package manager. You can check the directory ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d to verify.
So here should I just delete the Boxtron part?
Apparently DOSBox Staging still has some data on the Deck. Should I delete it too?
