Running .bat Files in Linux or Steam Deck

Some mods may require you to run a .bat file the install the mod. This is a Windows Batch file that cannot run on Linux natively. Thankfully, we already have Proton/Wine which can run Windows programs for us and will work with batch files, so we just need to use that. This will cover one simple way designed to be user friendly for Steam Deck and non-technical users.

Enter Desktop Mode

Enter Desktop mode and follow your Mod's install process, placing the files wherever they need to be.

 

Install Protontricks

On your Steam Deck you can find Protontricks in the Discover app. Otherwise it's in whatever package manager your distro has, and available as a Flatpak.
