### Step 2 - Install Proton-GE (via ProtonUp-Qt)
|
||||
|
||||
The stable version of Proton provided by Steam tends to end up in some random crashes when running Licentia DECK. To increase stability, it is recommended to switch to Proton-GE. You can acquire this using an application from the Discover store called ProtonUp-Qt.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|

Once installed, run ProtonUp-Qt, ensure that Stem is selected at the top, and then click the "Add version" button:

Keep the defaults for Compatibility Tool and Version (Currently GE-Proton8-25 is the latest version), and click Install:

||||

Once complete, fully exit and restart Steam, so that ProtonGE will become an option later in the guide.

The next step is to add ModOrganizer.exe to Steam as a non-steam game. In Steam, click Games, then "Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library". The latest version of Steam should use the regular File Browser from your system, older versions of Steam had a built-in file browser.

IF you have crashing issues with some animations, it has been suggested that switching from Proton 8 from Valve to Proton-GE can help. Proton-GE can be acquired by using the ProtonUp-QT application available in the Discover store on deck.

There is an issue with missing NPC Voices - apparently this is an issue with Proton, so it may ultimately be resolved in time with a newer version of Proton without needing these steps. For now though, we need to install xact and xact_x64 to the Wine/Proton environment Steam created for our "Skyrim - Licentia" entry. Licentia also requires Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2022 for some of it's mods.

### Step 9 - Install and Configure CryoUtilities

Increase Steam Deck Swap Space, Swappiness and adjust Steam Deck VRAM
|
||||
|
||||
This may be optional, but there have been reports of far better stability and performance after increasing the swap space available to the deck when running Modlists. This is an optional step, but if you are experiencing stability issues, it might be worth investigating. How to do so is outside the scope of this guide, but there is plenty of information available elsewhere on how to do it - [CryoByte33](https://github.com/CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities) has an excellent set of utilities available on github that can take care of this, and more!
|
||||
Normally this step is optional, but for Licentia DECK it is particularly important for stability and performance to use CryoUtilities to increase the swap space available to the deck. The steps to install and configure CryoUtilities are outside the scope of this guide, but there is plenty of information available elsewhere on how to do it - [CryoByte33](https://github.com/CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities) has an excellent set of utilities available on github that can take care of this, and more!

Personally I have increased the VRAM in the deck bios to 4GB (see [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od9_a1QQQns&t=1377s) for details), 16GB Swap space, and a Swappiness of 1 - the recommended settings when you run Cryobyte33's Steam Deck Utilities. In fact, the [full video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od9_a1QQQns) of Cryobyte33 explaining what this all means, is definitely worth a watch!

On Steam Deck, I limit FPS and Refresh rate to 45, and it does a pretty good job of maintaining that. If you want absolutely no fluctuations at all, you'd likely have to lock to 40fps, but I find sticking it at 45Hz/FPS, and then turning off the FPS counter lets me just get on with the game, feeling fluid enough that I don't think about the FPS any more.
