The Jackbox Social gathering Packs are a number of the finest get together video games in existence. I am unable to bear in mind a time I did not have a blast enjoying them, however with 10 totally different entries, all with totally different video games in them, it may be fairly annoying to go from one pack to the opposite. To make issues simpler, Jackbox launched the Megapicker, a free launcher that places the entire video games into one launcher. It is implausible and free, which is fantastic, but it surely did have some points when making an attempt to make use of the Linux model of the launcher, together with bricking the Steam Deck if put in on it. However that will not be a difficulty for now.
There was a difficulty with the Jackbox Megapicker that might corrupt the Steam set up, and this is because of utilizing the Linux model of the launcher. So, to repair this, a hotfix was deployed to power the Megapicker to default to the Proton layer as a substitute of the Linux runtime. This can power the sport to begin with the Home windows model, which does not have this challenge. This modification was introduced by Pierre-Loup Griffais on X/Twitter:
Since this could corrupt your Steam set up and power you to re-install SteamOS and manufacturing facility reset your Steam Deck, I might steer clear of the Jackbox Megapicker till this has been totally fastened, however when you actually need to use it, I might ensure that your launcher defaults to Proton as a substitute of the Linux Runtime.
You may obtain the Megapicker totally free on Steam proper now, when you desire.
