Wstęp
Running SimCity 3000 Unlimited on the Steam Deck can be quite tricky. This guide aims to assist you in getting your game up and running smoothly. It will walk you through the process of installing the HD resolution patch and configuring a power profile suitable for the game. While this solution appears to be relatively straightforward, it may not work for everyone due to the experimental nature of the setup. Jeśli napotkasz jakiekolwiek problemy, I recommend exploring alternative guides for running the game on the Deck and Linux. Special thanks to u/-PolarisInParis- for recommending the use of Proton-6.21-GE-2 on the Steam Deck subreddit.
