How to install EGS Elder Scrolls Online on the Steamdeck (lemm.ee)

I've collected tips from around the internet and rolled them up into a single post

  • 98GB installed but may need 130-140GB during the install.
  • The game initially uses keyboard controls only, you need to enable gamepad support. See the end of this guide.
  • I'm running a locked 40FPS @ 1280x800 on medium settings.

After installing The Elder Scrolls Online through Heroic:

  1. Click the settings menu for The Elder Scrolls Online in Heroic.
  2. Select your preferred Wine-GE Proton version, I'm using 8-10 at the time of writing this and everything works perfectly ingame.
  3. Click "WINETRICKS"
    a. "Select the default wineprefix"
    b. "Install a Windows DLL or component"
    c. Scroll down, select "dotnet48" and click OK to install it. This will take some time, just wait. If any prompts come up, just click OK.
    d. Once it's done, close out of winetricks.
  4. Click the "WINECFG" button next to WINETRICKS.

a. Click Add, select "D:" drive, set the path to "/home/deck/Games/Heroic"
b. Click Apply, then OK.
5. Play!

Post tweaks:
In the game settings,
Settings > Gameplay > Gamepad - Turn ON
Settings > Gameplay > Use Keyboard login - Turn OFF
This enables full gamepad support.

Good guide, thanks for sharing.

Is there any risk of getting banned by installing it using this method?

[–] Mythnubb@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I don't have any reason to suspect so. The steam version emulates through proton and this basically does the same. I figured this would be useful with the recent freebie from Epic.

I installed the exe you download from their website in less steps btw.

All you have to do is add the installer to steam as a non steam game, run it, then add the installed game as a non steam game too, and it's done

The trick here was getting the free version running from their giveaway the other week.

Tried to do this step by step so many times... I'm using Wine-GE-Proton8-10, installed dotnet48 and set the path to the heroic folder, but the game fails to launch. I have the logs here, any idea what might be the issue?

[–] Mythnubb@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Its been a while... But does the launcher not even show up?

Nope, nothing :'( I installed dotnet48, but still get the error saying Wine failed to load System.Private.CoreLib.dll.
