A NEW UPDATE HAS CAUSED THE NON-STEAM GAMES "TARGET" and "START IN" TO FAIL TO ADD QUOTES AROUND THEM. ADD A DOUBLE QUOTE TO THE START AND END OF EACH LINE - See this video: https://youtu.be/j5flKpTP-tg

While this video still works, I recommend you watch the newer one: https://youtu.be/Z_HYcdrYR38

NOTE: If you're here about Diablo 4? Please use GE Proton 8-3 instead of the recommended one.

Update: Use GE Proton 7-39 up through 7-42. any version higher or lower will probably not work.

Finally, at last ... Overwatch 2 on the Steam Deck without any special installers, no weird sideloaded proton versions, no 13 minutes startup caching and no crashes! Standard non-steam game with GE-Proton and no compromises.

In this video, we'll install Battle.net from scratch - show you how to add an existing OW2 install (or install a game fresh) as well as OW2 settings - we'll discuss how to pre-cache some stuff to avoid in game slow downs, do so Battle.net configuration, set custom artwork and more.

A mouse and keyboard are HIGHLY recommended!
