Hey! Long time no post
So, I've been trying to get We the People working on Steam Deck for the last few days with no luck. I tried googling around but couldn't find anything on it, nor could I find anything in the Colonization section of this forum so I thought I'd start a thread. I'll go over the problems I've run into and everything I've tried so far.
The issue is that I can't get the mod to run on the Steam Deck. I can play vanilla Colonization just fine (steam version) and I'm able to put the We the People mod in the mod folder, but when I try and load it from the in-game mod list, it doesn't work. I also tried using the Steam shortcut to make it boot straight into the mod, but that didn't work either.
You know that splash screen you get with the loading bars with text on it whenever you boot up Civ 4 or Colonization? I get to that and it loads about half way, but once it hits "We the People - 3.0.1] Init XML (Uncache" it halts, then closes. It might say more after "(Uncahce", not sure. It's a small window and that's as far as the text displays.
We the People still works just fine on my PC with the same Steam account, same game version, and same mod version. I tried both the current Steam patch as well as the older version that you can opt into in the beta menu, but both seem to have the same issue.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm happy to provide whatever info you might need! I'm not a programmer and don't know that much about how to change stuff in mods beyond using a .ini file, so you might need to really spell things out to me, but I'm happy to help out however I can. Best of luck!
