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
Having it on the deck was great when I had Covid for the first time last year. I had battle.net installed manually at the time after fucking around with Diablo Immortal, which got unceremoniously binned after a day
I wasn’t up for doing a lot being ill, but I could just about get a wind druid up and running while coughing up a ton in bed.
