If you've recently installed The Last of Us Part I on your Steam Deck using Lutris and it's crashing at launch, here's a step-by-step guide to get it running.

Launch the game

Install the game using lutris. Add launcher.exe as a Non-Steam Game to Steam, and rename it to: The Last Of Us Part 1. Launch the game let it crash. This creates the Proton prefix that Protontricks will use later.

SSH Into Your Steam Deck

Use SSH to connect to your Steam Deck:

Navigate to your Downloads folder and download the necessary installers:

Step 3: Install Dependencies with Protontricks

1. Open Protontricks.
2. Select The Last of Us Part I.
3. Click "Install an Application" and hit OK.
4. When the next prompt shows up, click Cancel.

After canceling, a window will open with more options:

• Choose Run Explorer and click OK.
• In the file browser, navigate to: C:\home\deck\Downloads
• Double-click both vc_redist.x64.exe and dotnet-sdk-3.1.426-win-x64.exe to install them.

The Last of Us Part I

Switch to Game Mode on Steam Deck and launch from there.
