Richard Burns Rally play on Steam Deck (SteamOS, Vanilla physics)
*This guide is only for VANILLA PHYSICS version.
1. Download my RBRRTP Pack and unzip.
(on SteamDeck Desktop mode with Fire Fox browser)

2.In SteamDeck desktop mode, run Steam.
3.Add RichardBurnsRally_SSE.exe and JSGME.exe (mod installer) via 'Add Game' located at the bottom left of Steam.
4.Set compatibility of RichardBurnsRally_SSE.exe to <Proton 9.0-3>
JSGME.exe to <Proton Experimental>
*Please note that the modinstaller only runs in desktop mode.*
5.Run JSGME and make sure to disable Reshade.
Or, you can delete d3d9.dll in the RBR folder.
*Reshade does not work on SteamOS and cause the game crash.
6.(Optional) Opens RBRfolder/Misc/LM_Driver.ini
Change the line
(recommended 30~50)
[Settings]
Max Steeringwheel degrees = 45
7.*IMPORTANT*
Opens RichardBurnsRally.ini and change the resolutions.
XRes = 1280
YRes = 800
8.Unfortunately, RBRCIT (Car installer) is not working on SteamOS.
So if you want to change the carlist,
Install the desired car using RBRCIT on your Windows.
Then copy the following 4 files to your RBR folder in Steamdeck (use a USB stick):
RBRfolder/Audio/Cars/Cars.ini
RBRfolder/Cars/Cars.ini
RBRfolder/<Physics> folder
RBRfolder/physics.rbz
9.Also, BTB track plugin is not working.
You can play only 'original format' track include mod stage.
This is mean you can play every stages on RBRcz mappack on Steamdeck.

10.I shared my controller settings to Steam Layout option.
+ Button -> Keyboard Arrow key
L4 -> ESC
R4 -> ENTER
L5 -> Left mouse
R5 -> Right mouse
Triange -> S Key (for tuning option on RBRTM plugin)
R3 -> Tilt Control on/off (*very useful on Tarmac stages)
11.Options - Controls - Controller Setup
Here is my settings.
*2 analog sticks are cannot separated two axis. So, you should bind the L2/R2 to <Accelerate and Brake>.
12.Options - Controls - Filter Settings.
This is important settings for better control experience with Steamdeck analog stick.
Steering - Axis
Footbrake - Axis
*CAR TUNING GUIDE*
This game is difficult to drive because of the overpowered vehicles and lack of gravity. However, I cannot agree with the opinion that it is 'impossible to drive'.
The fundamental problem is that the basic tuning values of the vehicles are a mess. (Especially the Gravel Tuning)
This means that if you can properly modify the tuning values for each vehicle, you can drive enjoyable.
These settings are generally the same for any 4WD vehicles.
It is even okay to apply the exact same tuning values, as RBR's vanilla physics do not fully embody the characteristics of the vehicle.
Differential Torque
To reduce oversteer, lower the rear value by 100 or more.
