How to Run Game on Steam Deck

Those who want to take Space Marine 2 on the go with a Valve Steam Deck, listen up. I’ve been running it and it works just fine, minus a few lags, mostly during Campaign, but PvP and PvE are good to go. Here is how I got it to work:

Step 1: Go to the Discovery app on the Steam Deck for apps, search for WINE. Its logo is a legit wine glass. This is a compatibility layer available for Steam. It lets you do many more programs than just SM2. I do Web3 gaming on a different server and use other Windows programs through this layer.

Step 2: After completing the download of the WINE program, launch it and let it do its configuration.

Don’t repeatedly click the launch button!

Step 3: Download SM2 from your Steam library onto your Steam Deck and run it like normal.

Note: You do not have to use the native Proton compatibility; that’s what steps 1 and 2 were for.

Step 4: Let the game update and launch, and there you go. You are now fighting the Tyranid hordes and Chaos heretics of the Imperium. May the Emperor protect!
