Variant #151 - Big FreeCell
Big FreeCell is simply a 2 deck version of FreeCell
Improved Steam Deck compatibility
Good news! With today's update, players are reporting that Solitaire Expeditions is now playable (mostly) on the Steam Deck. The game has no audio and a couple of text artifacts, but you should be able to play games.
I don't currently have a Steam Deck, so I am unable to test (or debug) it myself. I did put down a deposit, so I am now in the queue to get one. Hopefully I will be able to resolve the remaining issues in the future.
Performance issues? Try the new 'Enable software rendering' setting
The key to getting Solitaire Expeditions to run on the Steam Deck was forcing the game to use software rendering. I have also added this as an option when running on a PC. If you are experiencing rendering or performance problems with the game, enabling this may help you.
