I am working on an updated guide with more information which will launch soon. I will update this comment when it does. I just launched a new video for NONSTEAMLAUNCHER in game mode with Decky Loader come check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zpeal6pnjN6Kabs

Doesn't work for me. Not sure what I'm missing. Followed instructions, but Launchers don't work. Hit Play, no sign in option, reverts back to Play.

Hey guys I'm the creator of NonSteamLaunchers, first and foremost thank you to everyone who has tried to use my little script for the majority of the year. I also want to say I hear your frustrations, hopefully very soon most of these issues will be fixed, going forward, please keep your eye on the Decky Plugin Version of NSL in the Testing Store of Decky Loader. Going forward I recommend that over the desktop version.

[@flowersniffin9233]

i am trying that now and it doesn't install the epic store for me, allow it to show up, or let me boot it

[@revleckbendon2745]

Do you mean we should not follow the first half of this tutorial video and should instead just install Decky, then go to the Testing Store of Decky Loader and install the NSL plugin there and go about my business that way?

You usually brick stuff updating your firmware/bios, these are simple programs so don't worry, if they cause any issue it's very very rare that a program like this brick your whole device.

Hi@@GameTechPlanet a quick question that I've seen someone else ask but not seen it answered anywhere, does this only work for games purchased on these individual platforms, or does it also work for games purchased on Steam (such as FIfa / Ea Sports FC or whatever they're calling it these days?) Thank you.

[@GameTechPlanet]

Hey guys be aware that this method keeps getting broke then fixed. I hope it gets stable as when it works like it did for me when making the video its magic. But when it doesn’t it’s frustrating. I still prefer installing all these launchers one at a time manually. I have videos for that and will be working on an updated video as well. As for this app keep an eye on it for updates and fixes. I was on stable os with just one profile logged into the deck when this was working. If you go thru the proamd the launchers arent auto added to steam for some reason. Usually you can go to where they were installed and still add them manually as you normally would. If this method doesn’t work out for you just uninstall everything and do these manually. They work great that way.

[@MrHarut123]

dam i just tried it and it broke my battle net link and i had diablo 3 downloaded, how do i delete it now?

[@jfaristide]

This method is just bad, period. The maintainer doesn't follow conventions and everything uses a single prefix. Neither of these things are good, and this developer should be shunned until he starts doing things right. Use Lutris instead

So Heroic works with pretty much all games, own experience, if that's not the case with you, then you're definitely making a mistake. I suspect you have not set Proton correctly. This is installed outside of Heroic and selected in Heroic. It definitely works, the program is an absolute dream.

Xbox app runs through UWP and is tightly integrated into Windows which means it's just not possible to get it running on Linux through Proton.

No unfortunately. Those games and their anti cheats are just plain blocked and wont work on Linux / steamos at all

[@fugixi]

Great video! Any way to get the games installed via the different launchers to show up and start directly from within Steam?

[@schlarptarf3675]

Asking myself the same question, not easy to find an answer xD I will stick with hgl and individual setups

[@modernwarfare3fan309]

EA app doesnt work with this method. I get this black window that closes and opens constantly and i cant open desktoo mode. If i do it in game mode. It softlocks my deck and i have to hard restart it.

[@andrewgoulart929]

I've been having the same issue with every launcher.

[@elgiodgreat7022]

Hi followed your tutorial after installation. After steam restart game launchers are not in the steam apps tried 2x installation but still no luck

[@mark9373]

Same here

[@skittlebites1319]

So did you just download Diablo straight from the launcher? Last time I messed around with this I had to download the launcher then also had to download wow from the website and brought it in as it's own steam game. Can I just use the launcher to download and play all my games then? Just like on my PC?

[@GameTechPlanet]

Ive just been able to do the normal. Install launcher. Install games inside launcher. Good to go

[@Bossman207-g7x]

Odd you didn't show what happens after you install a game from one of those launchers. Do you get a library entry for each game installed for each launcher? or do you not see any of those games unless you open the launcher first and start a game through it?

[@GameTechPlanet]

So just like any pc the launchers have to be open for rhe games to run. So u open the launcher then the game.

Iam getting a steamdeck oled my first steamdeck do you have tips

[@GameTechPlanet]

Best tip I can give you is make use of my Steam Deck playlist of videos here on the channel. I have covered alot in over 2 years of Deck.

Hi I did this but have an annoying scene thing that shows the process of the system

[@N.E.TGaming]

My problem starts at 1:20 into the video. I have the files downloaded and extracted, but when I open "Nonsteam launchers desktop" I get a different screen than you, doesn't show any of the launcher options etc. Does anyone know what could be the cause of this or how to fix it? Thanks

[@nails95]

I have the same problem

How to Amazon Luna launcher doesn't start after installing laucnher and set compatibility on proton ?

[@GameTechPlanet]

Luna launcher doesn’t work on linux and also was discontinued by Amazon. Only way to play Luna is thru google chrome on deck

[@cassandraspidel195]

Why does the EA app always come up blank for me it never says anything just a dark blue box

[@cassandraspidel195]

I ended up figuring it out if anyone else has this issue I had to download the actual text through protonhacks there is a step by step guide online.

[@sean72292]

You have a link? Same issue.

[@Queztapotel123]

Can you have the specific games show up as tiles in game mode? Automatically/scripted I mean. Edit: nvm, restarting steam does exactly this 😅

[@MSURacer62]

Just recently found this video and tried this method. It worked at first but when I would go back to the launchers they would crash. Epic never really would fully load. I like this idea but not sure what the issue is as I am a noob to the Steam Deck.

[@GameTechPlanet]

Have you tried different proton layers? Specifically newer versions of GE Proton? The default often doesn’t work

[@mcbased675]

Weird the apps wont load to to steam but they are installed???

[@lonewolf9744]

Hi the decky loader icon doesn’t appear for me after following guide. Any help would be appreciated.

[@DimitrisKarapavlos]

Great video, i was wondering if it will be possible to add another launcher that is not in the list. RSI launcher for Star citizen. I dont know if someone has already asked here.

[@agent030]

I cannot get the launchers to show up in my library

[@cyleo8511]

If I accidentally pressed the wrong button and the execute button is missing. What should I do? Please help

[@ssmclips-yz7et]

This was very easy to follow and worked. 👍👍👍👍

[@hellzonehz1416]

Installed ea app but its not showing on on library

[@sydburn1986]

@ 5:35 with the password setup , I have a question while yours say administrator, mine says standard . When I try and change the “statues” to administrator it ask for a password to switch it, and I have ran into the same issue with trying to install protontricks thru the discover store and ask for “password root” but when I make up a password or create one it tells me authentication failed. Not sure how to fix , not sure if I missed up and switched my account from administrator to standard and don’t remember or what .

If I understand your problem correctly this might help kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGqZn6ekm52kn7Msi=FTolEtRGRKqgHcFu

[@roysbedoys9536]
