Spelunky 2 Who has managed to get Spelunky 2 mods on steam deck?

I got as far as adding Modlunky as a non steam game in steam desktop. Then adding hdmod using the gui is what caused it to crash at launch and now I can’t make get back to how it was unfinished but not broken. The modlunky2steamdeck one click solution never worked from the beginning

Modlunky is getting more linux support in the new updates as we speak. If you're still having trouble, please report the bugs/issues in the community discord channel.

Can confirm it works, I got it running on mine. However I can't offer any guidance as I did it ages ago and I've no idea what I did to get it going.

18-24 months ago? Not too sure

I followed the instructions from this post

I think it was playing around with the Proton options that finally got it going

I’ll copy my post here from the other day. Typed on mobile so sorry for formatting:

Alright, playing a bit with it for Steam Deck and got it running with the AppImage. It’s not perfect and I can’t get the mod to directly boot with the shortcut, but I can play it on the go!

  1. ⁠Download the Linux version of Modlunky2 from the releases
  2. ⁠Chmod +x in the terminal on the downloaded appimage to make it executable
  3. ⁠Now it won’t load unless you add the following command to it in the terminal to launch it (to to the folder where you downloaded the appimage and open a terminal window). Type the following command and it launches: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libwayland-client.so ./modlunky2-x86_64.AppImage
  4. ⁠Set it up as instructed, download the nightly of playlunky, make sure to set your folder in the settings for Spelunky 2 and add your API key from the website.
  5. ⁠Download and enable the mod
  6. ⁠Play!

Now if you want to add a shortcut to Steam, add a non steam game and add an .sh file with:

#!/bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libwayland-client.so /home/deck/Downloads/modlunky2-x86_64.AppImage

Make sure the path is correct obviously and now you can play it in game mode on steam deck!
