Einführung
SimCity 3000 Unlimited isn’t too keen on running smoothly on the Steam Deck. In diesem Ratgeber, I aim to assist in getting your game up and running, along with demonstrating how to install the HD resolution patch and configure a power profile for optimal performance. While this solution is relatively straightforward compared to others, it’s worth noting that results may vary, as this is still a fairly fresh area of experimentation. For those encountering persistent issues, I recommend exploring alternative guides tailored to running the game on the Steam Deck and Linux platforms.
Installing ProtonUp-qt and Proton-6.21-GE-2
Schritt 1: Um zu beginnen, switch to desktop mode on your Steam Deck.
Schritt 2: Nächste, navigate to Discover and search for ProtonUp-qt. Once located, proceed to install it.
Schritt 3: Launch ProtonUp-Qt after installation. Klicken Sie auf „Add Version“ and from the drop-down menu labeled „Version“, scroll down until you locate „Proton-6.21-GE-2“. Wählen Sie es aus, dann klicken „Installieren“.
Wenn „Proton-6.21-GE-2“ appears in the list afterward, installation was successful.
Schritt 4: If you haven’t already installed the HD resolution patch, you can skip this step for now.
Jedoch, once you return to gaming mode, access SimCity 3000 Unlimited’s Steam library and navigate to the „Eigenschaften“ Speisekarte. Von dort, geh zu „Kompatibilität“ where you should now be able to select „Proton-6.21-GE-2“ as a compatibility tool.
With these steps completed, the game should now be able to load into a city successfully!

Choose your preferred resolution and restart the game. A popular choice is „1280×720“, ideal for seamless transitioning to a TV display during gameplay.
Power Profile Settings
If the game demands more from your CPU than necessary, consider setting a specific TDP limit for the application. This ensures that your Steam Deck’s battery isn’t needlessly drained by this resource-hungry dinosaur of a game. It’s all about optimizing that power usage!
