How to get rid of 2 Boxtron errors I get every time I launch the desktop mode?

Hi everyone!

Around a year ago I went through many steps (Boxtron and other stuff) to get Earthworm Jim running on my Steam Deck just to discover afterward that these were not needed in the end.

I think I’ve uninstalled everything but I can’t get rid of two error messages I’m getting every time I switch to desktop mode.

One of them says: Game not recogninzed as DOSBox compatible

The second one says: DOSBox argument error: “unrecognized arguments: -d3d12”

I’ve found two conversations on github about these, but I have to admit I don’t really know what they’re talking about and what to do.

I wouldn’t want to break my system to solve these errors as these are just minor inconveniences without any influence on functionnality. Could someone guide me on what to do?

Thanks in advance

You can reinstall SteamOS very easily

Have you deleted the Proton prefix for DOSBox or that specific game?

  I guess I just deleted DOSBox stagging/Boxtron after noticing that they were not needed…To be honest, I was a bit lost.

  I had this same error with Garuda Linux when using native steam. The error messages present when steam is started, not when a game is launched

    Found the solution in the GitHub repo: you gotta edit the DOSBox config manually to remove the error.
