How to setup OpenMW for modern Morrowind on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck
How to install Hollow Knight: Silksong mods on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck
Software (all download/installed again on Dec 22):
Battle.net
Steam 1702079146
GE-Proton8-25 (installed with Protonp-Qt)
This was my command options in Steam before I tried to install it again:
DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="3050" DXVK_ASYNC=1 DXVK_HUD=compiler DXVK_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 ___NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia _GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE=1 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH=/home/user/.cache/battlenet %command%
I also tried just:
WINE_SIMULATE_WRITECOPY=1 %command%
I also tried Proton Experimental instead of GE-Proton8-25 just to see if the installer would work.
I see people cheering that the above fixes it for them but I've been unable to even install Battle.net from scratch (I erased all .wine, .steam, etc, and started from scratch.. no luck).

You shouldn't need any dependencies installed if you use the battle.net installer script to create your bottles. If you do install a dependency you have to wait for the spinning arrow to finish and it is very very slow.
Last thing, All your settings are changed and set through your bottle. If you want Steam to launch your game in bottles, there is an ellipses next to the play button of your game title. You can choose "add to steam" from there. Then you have to restart Steam. The name of the game in bottles will be how Steam is able to reference and start it. That name will also be what is displayed to your friends on Steam. So change it before you click "add to steam". When you install a game through the battle.net app at the end if the install it asks if you want to create a shortcut. Make sure the box is checked so that that game will show up in the bottle programs list.
