I am by no means a super technical person, but it's a fact that the instructions provided in the page about how to install league on my steamdeck did not work no matter how hard I tried.
What worked for me was essentially:
- Install lutris flatpak
- Download GE's lol-wine version
- Manually download the league installer from rito's site
- Manually invoke the downloaded wine executable to run the installer
.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/data/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-ge-lol-8.7-1-x86_64/bin/wine <installer>
-
Let it install completely(login, download the entire game)
-
Add it as an installed game in lutris.
Boom! A more portable way, no reason to be afraid that the next SteamOS update will break your installation.
You could probably modify the script a bit so that you create a custom wine prefix rather than use the default ~/.wine
It should, but apparently a technical detail makes it fail, it's probably easily fixable if one was to bother and look at it.
I will consider it if I've time to spare.
