In my experience, both getting Diablo 2 on deck, and playing has been a seamless experience from start to finish thanks to this installation below.

-All you have to do is open up a browser on your steam deck.

-scroll down the GitHub page -hit download

-Launch the executable, which should in turn ask which Launchers you want installed.

I chose Rockstar, Ubisoft, Epic and Battlenet all at once. Had 0 issues.

Diablo 2 picks up on the Steam decks controls and has been an absolute blast to play. 70-90 on low preset. I opted for 45fps capped with medium settings.

I Had to make a post just to give props to this guy and the Non Steam launchers installer, saves a lot of headache and time. It’s straight to the point. But also because I’m quite new to Diablo in general, got D2:R for 13 bucks and have realllly enjoyed it so far. So much so that I went through the effort to get it on Deck.

Looks great on that OLED screen

    I’m lazy. I’ll wait for Blizzard to officially put this on steam.

    I have limited time for gaming. I don’t want to spend half of that time tweaking of fiddling with stuff. That’s also the reason I removed EmuDeck.

      Crazy to me that there’s folks who don’t simply want to download something that does 99.9% of the work for you. It’s not even tweaking or fiddling. The process took me like 20 minutes. If you’ve messed around on a computer doing anything, it’s the same process

        As he just stated, he has limited time for gaming. 20 minutes is 20 less minutes of playing games. Plus if he doesn’t enjoy the experience of whatever game he just wasted the install time, the time trying the game, and uninstall.

        I only have about an hour tops most days for games now. I’d rather play for those 20 minutes than spend time setting up something that’ll probably break in a few weeks and I’ll have to spend time troubleshooting it. When I was in my 20s and had more time, I’d have no problem doing this and dealing with things breaking later. Now I don’t want to spend time doing that.
