Thank you for the video. But does it take along time to install? EA is taking forever, it’s been almost 20 minutes. Is this normal?

[@pavelborisov5014]

Thanks a lot for this video, spent few hours trying to get rockstar launcher on my steam deck, took me 10 min after your video to get it running🥳🥳🥳 now I can play my GTA 😂👍 thanks a lot

Is it normal that it takes a very long time to install the launchers?? It's at 2 out of 5 for about 30 minutes.

Love your videos man.

Hi! the decky button isnt appearing for me like yours in 1:54

[@Dan-zy4yp]

Thanks for the video! :) Am I being impatient or does it just take a loonnng time to install the launchers? I have been stuck on "installing launchers 1 of 3" for about 13 minutes. Will it eventually go through or should I hard reboot and try again?

[@VanchaMarcH]

Mine got suck on 3/5. Just do them 1 at a time. No issues

Please sir how did you get that CSS Theme on the Deck. it looks sooo clean I love. Great video btw found it extremely informative!

Hi, thanks for watching 🙂 For CSS Loader I'm using the following combo: Centered Game Text Centered Home Colorful Recent Round Titled Home

[@nightfire2015]

How did you get the launchers art? I've got a grey background and white letters.

[@Gamingcs11692]

The video was uploaded 9 days ago why do the UI look different from mine? Neverminded I see that this is an old video that was uploaded recently. I just looked at the update version on the video 2.1.2.3.

[@NerdZap]

The UI for Decky or the plugin? I uploaded this video within a few days of recording it. It's not a re-upload...

[@vijayvenkat6799]

Hi bro I downloaded god of war from f**girl and installed game is working fine but it showing the keyboard settings on the screen while playing, example to run press w instead of up arrow so it tough to understand the game is there any ways change the game layout

Does anyone know if this detects, overwrites or duplicates an old version of non-steam launcher?

[@RoyMoraVEVO]

@@bakedveal2624 it's in the testing store

[@JamesRosier]

@@RoyMoraVEVO Excellent work Sir! Loved that I could access cross-launcher games (like Ubi games acquired via Epic) on deck! However, these guys don’t play nice with linux for long, and all my launchers have broken in the interim. So, I did a clean deckyloader install, but none of the launchers would complete, going into an install loop, that could only be exited via a hard restart. After using proton-up to get GE-Proton9-10, Ubi, EA, Epic, itch, Rockstar installed successfully. But Gog gets stuck in the same install loop. Any ideas?

[@VRJacky]

This and junk store never work they just load infinitely, it's way quicker to download gog and press add to steam imo

[@johnsducks9816]

So I can't login to epic because my epic logs in through my google and google says the browser is not supported, is there any fix for this?

[@johnsducks9816]

nevermind I managed to get it to work, just had to login desktop mode for the first time

[@bandiiyy]

nice tutorial and video! 😊 can it run fortnite?

[@NerdZap]

Hi, thanks! I haven't tried it myself, but my guess is that anything with Anti-Cheat probably won't work 😔 if that's the case, then the only option would be to to run Windows on your Steam Deck. I've got a video for running Windows from a MicroSD/USB stick here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2KwmKmurJyssJYsi=0ySWo4MEzFgjc8ld

[@Shadowidk-k6c]

how do I get steam deck

[@jackkelly3065]

GTA 5 didn’t make a shortcut in my steam library ? Can only run in through the launcher

[@G.Iannone_Gladius8]

Same here, I’ve installed a game from epic games but I don’t have the shortcut of it in my library. Does someone have any idea how to fix this?

[@NerdZap]

If you check the NonSteamLaunchers GitHub, auto shortcuts are currently supported for: Epic Games Ubisoft Connect EA App Gog Galaxy Battle.net Amazon Games Itch.io Legacy Games So you'll just have to go through the launcher for GTA.

[@NerdZap]

For the issue with Epic, try restarting your Steam Deck, I've had to do that before. Otherwise, is there an option in the NonSteamLaunchers Decky to reinstall the service or rescan? I don't have my steam deck to hand so I can't check sorry.

[@charlesdesbrosses9931]

I followed it step by step, but the nonsteamgames plugin version is 0.0.3 something for me, not your 1.0... My version does't have Rockstar launcher. Also, when clicking launchers (Ubi and Battlenet), they load forever with the Steam logo, nothing happens. Any idea ?

[@charlesdesbrosses9931]

Edit: Nonsteamlauncher is now available on the Default store page for me.

[@NerdZap]

Thanks for the update! It sounds like it's been approved and moved out of testing ✌🏻

[@NerdZap]

I've pinned a comment to let others know 👍🏻
