  • Basically it can play lower power games directly, or display higher power games from your PC.

    Both the Quest and the Steam Frame use ARM hardware, this is the same type of hardware used in phones. This hardware is noteworthy because it’s more power efficient that x86 type hardware, which is what traditional PCs use. Many VR games are made to run directly on the Quest and should be hardware compatible with the Steam Frame too since they both use ARM.

    The Steam Frame can also run x86 games thanks to an emulation layer called FEX that valve has been working on. This is something the Quest cannot do, but many PC games will likely be too demanding to run this way. VR games are naturally performance demanding since the game needs to be rendered twice for both eye perspectives, and needs decent resolution. Valve has said that it will be slightly weaker than the current Steam Deck in performance, and that’s probably before we consider the extra performance requirements of VR and the performance overhead of FEX.

    So based on that, I would assume NMS would not run well directly on the Frame itself, and you would instead need to run it on your PC and display it on the Frame.







  • Alright I might be an idiot. I bought Alice, spent forever trying config edits, registry edits (locale registry for it is at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\EA Games\Alice Madness Returns btw), and no matter what I did the game either would launch in english or not launch at all. And then I tried just setting the game’s language to “French” in the steam properties for the game, and it worked, booted in french.

    So yeah, that’s all you need to do probably.

    As for Dino Crisis, I don’t own it, so I can’t troubleshoot it directly.




  • Ok I did some searching. Try this:

    For Alice, go to ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/19680/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/Alice Madness Returns/AliceGame/Config/

    Check the different .ini files there, one of the engine ones should have a Language value that needs to be set to FRA.

    For Dino Crisis, the language is apparently set by a registry value. The game may include a language_setup.exe or something similar that you can run to change the language. In Lutris you’ll want to use a “run exe from inside prefix” option to run it.

    If the game doesn’t have an exe to set language, you can edit the registry directly. Go into wine settings for the game inside lutris, and look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> CAPCOM -> DINO CRISIS or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Wow6432Node -> CAPCOM -> DINO CRISIS.

    Hopefully there’s already a key there called language, try setting the value to 2 for it.
