Seriously, all the lutris & co mess is obsolete now.

Open Steam > add non-steam game > properties > compatibility > force proton 10 > profit

Worked for all the cough responsibly ripped .exe's I've thrown at it so far

Lutris has allowed me to use battle.net though which I don't think steam can do, afaik. I'm happy to be proven wrong, though

I run battle.net through Steam. Works just fine.

‘Works fine’ is not true yet, currently.

Especially annoying on steam deck. Is this a Linux issue? No. It absolutely is not.
