Update: Use GE Proton 7-39 up through 7-42. any version higher or lower will probably not work. Finally, at last ... Overwatch 2 on the Steam Deck without any special installers, no weird sideloaded proton versions, no 13 minutes startup caching and no crashes! Standard non-steam game with GE-Proton and no compromises. In this video, we'll install from scratch - show you how to add an existing OW2 install (or install a game fresh) as well as OW2 settings - we'll discuss how to pre-cache some stuff to avoid in game slow downs, do so configuration, set custom artwork and more. A mouse and keyboard are HIGHLY recommended!
