GTA V on Steam Deck

I want to install GTA V to play only storyline (offline), but when I try to install it the launcher says it needs BattleEye to play it online and that anti-cheat is not supported on the Steam Deck. But the pop-up window says i can remove the check in the settings and after install the game. But i've removed checks for BattleEye and EasyAntiCheck, tried some combinations, restarts of the system after every iteration - nothing helps. I just cannot install the game, the launcher is not letting me to do that. I don't know what to do now, i just want to play GTA V storyline because i've never tried to play this game. Now am not sure, if i buy this game on steam, will it be installed and launched without issues ??

Or is there any ways to fix it, because i just want to install it on my device, i know that on Steam Deck it runs perfect. Why launcher is not letting me to do that...

The tickbox you're looking for is in "Settings" (sidebar) -> "Advanced" -> "Allow installation of games with broken or denied anticheat"

Use proton-ge

HeroicBotAPP•2/20/25, 7:40 PM

Wine-GE is rather old now (last release is almost a year ago) and thus might not work correctly. Please follow these instructions on using GE-Proton with umu instead:

Head to the Wine Manager in Heroic, click the "Proton-GE" tab, and install "Proton-GE-Latest"
Enable umu in "Settings" (Heroic sidebar) -> "Advanced" -> "Use UMU as Proton runtime"
Note: For a visual guide, see attached image
Head to the settings for your game(s) (icon on game card in library). In the "Wine Version" dropdown, select "Proton - Proton-GE-latest"
Rename your Wineprefix (path is shown in game settings), e.g. from
```
current-name
```
```
current-name
```
to
```
current-name_bak
```
```
current-name_bak
```
. To clarify: Rename the actual folder on your hard drive, do not change the option in the game settings.
Note: This will make game-specific configuration data (e.g. in-game settings or save files) unavailable. If this is an issue, let us know & we'll help you restore them.
