Do you have the steps to run diablo 4 on the steam deck? I havent explored non steam games
There are a few ways but here's my preferred method
There are a few guides around with more detail but it's very straight forward. Also a few guides out there on how to maximize battery life. I get 2.5hrs or so, closer to 3 if I avoid towns.
Yup, same way I installed it.
Great name! Throwback…
Thanks!
I would not recommend Lutris/wine for D4 since it tuns perfectly on Proton Experimental, at that point you are just introducing another layer of potential compatibility issues that are completely unnecessary. I tried using Lutris on launch day and it was a total headache with various components being incompatible.
Just install the launcher in desktop mode and add it as a steam game, then set compatibility mode to Proton Experimental. Done.
I followed this guy’s YouTube tutorial to get D4 working on the steam deck. Super clear instructions and worked like a charm. I did end up tweaking the settings a bit and am not playing at 60 fps (opted for 45), but it runs great. Here’s the link for the YouTube video. https://youtu.be/zxet_LLQIwE
