Tempted to plug in, you mean?
haha not my deck. I want both the shell and the game!
Got that crystal drip.
Not with that little battery life left.
I like the purple shell but the purple buttons are a no from me
I would stick with stock buttons, need some contrast
If I ever do the swap, I’d also keep the original buttons, to add a little bit of flavor
Why be tempted. It works well. I play D4 mostly on my deck.

How did you get it to show up as an actual launch item in steam? I have to launch battlnet then launch the game from there. works flawless it’s just one extra step.
Simple!
So, first you need to locate where you’ve installed your copy of Diablo. If you didn’t manually tell Battle.Net to install games into the SD Card, this will be in your Proton Files directory - a.k.a.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/<battlenets_steam_id>/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Battle.Net-
Your first step will be locating the
<battlenets_steam_id>number, as all the folders incompatdataare incomprehensible ids. Just Launch and close Battle.net (via Steam - just open and kill the program), then open the previously describedcompatdatafolder in Desktop Mode and sort the file list by last modified - hopefully your Battle.Net’s installation directory will be at the top. (if not, keep opening those folders until one of them has a Battle.Net folder inProgram Files (x86)) -
After finding the correct
compatdatadirectory, continue into it by navigating to where Diablo 4 is installed (either in your Battle.net folder or somewhere else inProgram Files (x86)), and right-click its binary -Diablo 4 Launcher.exe- to add it to Steam as a non-steam game. Note that you aren’t done yet - if you use this link it will not have access to any of your previous user data from the<battlenets_steam_id>compatdatafolder - we’ll have to add that. -
Go into your Steam library (in Desktop mode with a keyboard is easiest) and right-click the new Diablo 4 entry. Under “Shortcut”, there’ll be a field called launch options. There you want to add the following line:
STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/<battlenets_steam_id>/" %command%…making sure to replace the
<battlenets_steam_id>part with the id you found earlier, during step 1. This will tell Steam to use the data from your Battle.Net install when launching Diablo (for things like automatically logging in and, well, accessing Battle.Net’s install :D)- At this point you can also do things like give Diablo its own controller settings (I like to use KB+M for the Battle.Net app, but controller specifically for Diablo) and its own Artwork. For artwork, I used the SteamGridDB plugin for DeckyLoader. Also don’t forget to tell the Diablo 4 shortcut to use Proton-GE.
Finally: these steps work for all third party launchers, so if you also have Ubisoft Connect or EA App games, you can add them in a similar fashion.
Note: You will need to click through the Battle.Net launcher every time you launch Diablo, that’s just how it works. I tend to tap my screen to get through the prompts quickly, and just kill Battle.Net via Steam when looking to exit.
Haha, I love what you’re considering simple(I’m not saying that it’s too complicated, but it’s funny to see a wall of text after “Simple!”)

What did you have to do to get all the hours played to show? I can’t even see that in battle net
SteamlessTimes (Decky plugin) tracks time in non-Steam games if you add them to your library.
Awesome. That is something I’ve always wanted to be able to track. I assume it will work on yuzu games too?
Yes it should work for anything that you add to your library though it hasn’t been working for me lately, probably because I’m on the Steam client and Decky betas. I’m not too picky about tracking my playtimes so I haven’t really bothered fixing it. Should work though!
