If you already own it on B.net it works fine and don’t bother buying it again.

Honestly if you want to play it on the Deck it’s worth getting a Steam key on a discount somewhere. It works as a non Steam game but it was more than 40 bucks worth of effort. Plus that way it’ll stay updated on its own without having to launch desktop mode and go into battle.net. I’m so annoyed I had to RMA my OLED one, I was looking forwards to having a deck this weekend so I could get some Yakuza 8 on but the replacement probably isn’t going to be here until late next week.

Balatro demo 2 is out I have 15 hours in the first one, more than most full-price games I've bought. It's really really good. Great on Deck

Some people are fine tinkering around in Linux, others are looking for a Switch-like plug&play experience and buying it on steam gets you that. There's nothing ridiculous about it.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:One thing I really love about Tetris Effect is that the sound effects for your movements are not just in the same key as the song, so not only does it not sound dissonant, but it actually goes along with it all, but the timing of the sound effects are manipulated so they match up with the tempo. Hell yeah. It's like Rez that way, and unlike Lumines, where things are more free-running, so you can cause a horrible cacophony that clashes with the music.

This is a wild take and outright false. You can download the blizz launcher in desktop mode, and it will then install the game just like on a PC. You launch the launcher in game mode, and it will update the game just the same as on a PC and launch in game mode from there. You never have to do anything desktop mode again after this in my experience. There's no reason to re-buy most games, especially this one (that I regret purchasing in the first place once anyway, lol). To the OP, I think I used proton experimental (I did this a long time ago and haven't reinstalled on my OLED), I never had to get a special version or anything IIRC. I went into desktop, dowloaded the bliz launcher from their website and added it as a non-steam game. Launch and install D4, and go into the launcher settings to tell it to close the launcher after launching a game. That's all I did I believe and it just worked.

You do have to either use something like Lutris or point the launch target in steam properties to the actual bnet launcher.exe buried somewhere in the steamapps folder for it to work correctly, so it's not quite a click and play scenario, but it's really not hard through any of the well documented guides to get the bnet launcher installed.

I don't know what you mean by "point the launch target". You install everything in Desktop Mode, and while there add the Bnet Launcher executable as a non steam game. That's it, nothing else required.

Annath posted:I don't know what you mean by "point the launch target". Depends which approach you're taking. If you're using a third-party thing like Lutris yeah, you can just do that. If you're installing manually you add the bnet installer as a non-steam title and run it under proton and install the actual bnet launcher, etc. which creates a proton folder in steamapps that has the full windows directory stuff inside it. If you were to close bnet right here and try to re-launch, it would restart the installer instead of firing up the launcher. From here I guess you could do it two different ways. 1. Track down the actual folder in steamapps with bnet launcher.exe in it and add that as a non-steam title and delete the one you created for the installer. 2. Edit the properties for the non-steam game for the bnet installer and change the "Target" field to point at the actual bnet launcher file instead of the installer. Either way, tracking down that folder in apps and actually getting the bnet launcher application to be the thing you're launching is a critical bit.

These steps don't make sense. If you remove the installer non-steam game, there is no properties field to modify. In any case, it's extremely simple to track down the launcher exe. You can literally right click any native steam game entry and "browse local files", then go up one level in the directory and find the folder you're looking for.

Annath posted:These steps don't make sense. You're not understanding the problem. If you're installing the bnet launcher, you'll have the installer file probably in the /Downloads folder. You add that as a non-steam game to start the actual install process.  Once that's finished your non-steam game thing is still pointing at the installer file in /Downloads, but the actual bnet launcher files, etc are installed in 'home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/[random steam number]/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Battle.net' If you keep using the installer it will keep trying to install another copy of the bnet launcher. You have to go to that folder above and add the battle.net launcher as a steam game and/or edit the installer one to use the correct launcher file.

I understand the steps perfectly. What I don't understand is why someone would think re-launching the installer would somehow launch the client. That's not how that works on ANY platform. Like, it's just basic common sense that you'd need to add the launcher exe and remove the installer... they even have different names! E: to clarify, your posts were confusing me because you kept including steps about removing the installer and locating the launcher to add that, and I literally didn't even consider that pointing that out would be necessary.

Because the post I was quoting quite literally saidSuburban Dad posted:I went into desktop, dowloaded the bliz launcher from their website and added it as a non-steam game. Launch and install D4, and go into the launcher settings to tell it to close the launcher after launching a game. That's all I did I believe and it just worked. Which skips over that very important step. It's also easy to gently caress up when after the install it opens the bnet application, which someone otherwise unaware might just start using to install a game, only to come back and try to launch it again to be prompted with another install window which, if you go through the whole install process, will then not have the game you installed show up as installed.

I am ONCE AGAIN going to point people towards NonSteamLaunchers which will handle your Battle.net install with no issues. https://youtu.be/QH1f8TM6oYY?si=lqr889yr0fvD1wL0 This video is half a year old but it specifically shows a Diablo 4 battle.net install. NonSteamLaunchers has been solid since and only gotten better with more support. Even lets you choose your SD card to install everything to if you want to. Seriously, it handles just about every other launcher out there. It’s easy and painless. Adds them to Steam for you. Then you run the launchers and install the games you want.

It's because Diablo 3 is a fun and good game whereas Diablo 4 is neither of those things. Anyways I bought it on Steam and it launches perfectly on the Deck (and Ally) without issue. I haven't played it very long, of course, but I bought it like a total mark..

I just got ONI (edgelord bungie game from like 2002) working on my steam deck, the PC version. Its controls are awesome like Q to pick up guns, F to punch, C to kick, right-control (and ONLY right-control to interact with objects), F1 to go into your mission journal etc, etc. I have solved so many dozens of problems on my steam deck but for the life of me this is the second time now I have spent significant time doing this, I just cannot figure out how to create and save a controller layout and have it be available to use in another game (I need ONI's layout twice because of a fan patch and an un-fan patch ver I'm experimenting with). I just can't figure it out. I don't want to share it with the community, just me. It's really frustrating and I have several times lost my entire hosed up layout some of these old games require trying to export. Help
