Dragon Age Inquisition Steam Deck controller

This worked for me, hope this helps you.

Note: I am playing via EA app and found this step and directory in separate posts here

Go to the below directory via desktop mode: ~/.steam/app/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1222690/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age Inquisition/Save

Open the ProfileOptions_profile file and change the GstInput.GamePad line to 0 instead of 1

Hi @Flarefire52, surprise you got it working with the current EA app issues with Steamdeck.

I haven't tried yet my self, Might do now over the holidays and my steamdeck.

As far as I know there are no patches planned at the moment for DA:I.

It runs via Origin despite your Steam purchase.

Not sure what that has to do with anything? Andromeda runs perfectly on Steam Deck regardless of Origin. Seems to be an issue specific to Inquisition.

It says right on the purchase page that Steam Deck is unsupported for DA:I. I am not sure why you expected it to work.

The unsupported tag doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't work. Conan Exiles, State of Decay 2 and Resident Evil 3 Remake have all worked on Steam Deck and they're tagged as "unsupported". I just wanted to let others who were thinking of buying the Inquisition/Andromeda bundle that Inquisition simply does not recognize the built-in gamepad, apparently it works correctly with M+K though.

Warning others is admirable.

Thank you, it is indeed useful information, although disappointing. Let's hope they manage to fix it soon.

With the news that Dragon Age 4 information is on the way hopefully they get a fix out relatively soon.

Apart from the controller issue, is anything specific required to run the game on Steam Deck? I have Origin crashing every time I launch the game and not going further than that...

I'm running it forcing GE-Proton-7-20 through the Compatibility section in the game's properties.

Thank you for the advice, you are very helpful indeed! It now works!

Glad you got it working. If you end up finding some way around the controller issue let me know!

So far, I think the way is just using the customizability of the controller profiles given by Steam. If you look into the community profiles, there's already one specifically made to be used with the Deck as long as it does not recognize the controller as such. It basically uses the mouse/keyboard inputs so that they can work similarly to a controller. It's clearly not perfect, but more than decent and everybody can further personalize it.
Controller profiles are really a great heritage of the Steam Controller, and Deck now takes full advantage of it.

Does anyone know if the controller issues can be solved with a Bluetooth Xbox pad?

I had read somewhere that this was an issue on Windows as well and it might've stemmed from using Bluetooth rather than the official Xbox Wireless Adapter. I don't know it for a fact though.

could we put ds4windows or something like it in using protontricks?
