About

007: Quantum of Solace is a James Bond shooter tied to the 2008 film (and elements of Casino Royale). The PC and Wii versions were developed by Beenox, while Treyarch handled the PS3 and Xbox 360 releases. It is played mostly in first person with occasional third-person cover sequences, and was built on the IW 3.0 engine that powered Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. It was delisted from digital storefronts after Activision's James Bond license lapsed.

⚙ Setup notes

Game: 2008 Beenox / Activision James Bond shooter (built on the Call of Duty 4 / IW engine). Delisted once Activision's Bond license lapsed. Steam appid 10080. The launcher exe is JB_Launcher_s.exe.

GFWL: All versions hard-require Games for Windows LIVE, which is dead — drop an Xliveless build into the install folder (next to JB_Launcher_s.exe) to bypass GFWL before it will launch (per PCGamingWiki).

Fix: Also recommended: the community 'James Bond Quantum of Solace PC Fix' wrapper (by Chip-Biscuit, on GitHub), dropped into the install folder next to JB_Launcher_s.exe — it adds custom X-Input controller support (the original was keyboard/mouse only), FOV control, uncapped framerate and a windowed-mode option.

Proton: Run under GE-Proton (best results on Deck; some users hit a crash at the Activision logo on stock Proton/Proton-GE until the GFWL bypass + fix are applied).

The one thing to know

Supply your own copy: Delisted (lapsed Bond license) — configuration only, no links.

GFWL: KEY dependency: drop Xliveless next to JB_Launcher_s.exe or it won't start. Use GE-Proton.

Fix: Recommended: the community 'James Bond Quantum of Solace PC Fix' wrapper (Chip-Biscuit, GitHub) in the install folder for custom X-Input controller support + FOV/framerate/windowed fixes.

Controller: The original game is keyboard/mouse only — proper gamepad support requires the PC Fix wrapper's custom XInput (a Steam Input layout also covers menus).

Status: Mixed Deck reports — some users hit a crash at the Activision logo on stock Proton until the GFWL bypass + fix are in place, so this is needs-test rather than verified. ProtonDB tier is genuinely 'pending' (only ~2 reports on app 10080), left pending.

Get the artwork

deckport never hosts game images. Open this game on SteamGridDB, pick the cover / hero / logo / icon you like, and drop them into the game folder under .deckport-art/ before you push it to the Deck. The importer files them under the right names automatically.

Run it on your Deck

Two files: the one-time importer (deckport.py) in your Deck's home folder, and this game's install helper. Copy the game into ~/Games and run the helper with Steam closed — it writes the recipe (binary, launch options, Proton version) and registers the shortcut with artwork.
