First off, you'll need to install Proton, a compatibility layer that lets Windows games run on Linux-based systems like the Steam Deck. After that's set up, simply download Diablo 2 through the Steam client, and it should run just fine. Proton does the heavy lifting!
Tried it, and the Proton method works like a charm. You might run into some minor hiccups with graphics settings, but nothing game-breaking. Happy gaming!
Honestly, just get the remastered version, Diablo II: Resurrected. It's got native support, so you won't have to jump through hoops to play it on your Steam Deck.
