If your Steam Deck’s SSD doesn’t have

  • After the file has been downloaded Diablo IV Gold , open your downloads folder by clicking the file explorer (the folder icon on the taskbar called Dolphin). If you have a mouse connected, right click the file “Battle.net-Setup.exe,” or pull the left trigger that mimics the right click action. Then, in the drop-down menu, click the option that says “Add to Steam.” You may see a pop-up from Steam that asks you to add a non-Steam game. If so, simply tap “Browse” on the lower left corner, then select the installer in your downloads folder.

    We’re not done yet. After that, open Steam on your desktop (an icon should be there by default). When Steam launches, you should see the name of the Battle.net installer file that you just downloaded along the left side within the “Library” view. Click once to select it, then move your cursor over to the gear-shaped icon on the right (hovering over it shows the word “Manage”). Click it, then navigate go down to “Properties.”

    In Properties, you’ll see two options: “Shortcut” and “Compatibility.” Under Compatibility, you’ll find an option that says “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool.” Check the box, and you’ll be provided a drop-down button containing a list of different Proton builds. Select “Proton Experimental,” close the settings menu, and then run the installer.

    Run through the Battle.net installation as you would on your desktop. By default, the installation will happen on your onboard storage, but alternatively, you can store the app and your games on a microSD card by changing the save destination. On my Steam Deck, it’s nested within the “Z” directory. After clicking into that, expand the “run” folder, then the “media” folder. Lastly, you’ll click the name attached to your microSD card. In our case it’s “mmcblk0p1.” If you mess up at this stage, simply delete the installer from your Steam library, and start the process over.

    Once the installation is complete, you’ll be prompted to enter your login credentials, after which you can follow the prompts to install Diablo 4 as you would on your desktop PC. If your Steam Deck’s SSD doesn’t have enough free space, you can change the installation location of cheap Diablo IV Gold the game to your removable storage using the same process as before.
