If you want to use Phaz42's new script merger, you should first open the protontricks by itself (without any exe), select Witcher 3, install dotnet6 and dotnetdesktop6 by following this path. Then you will be able to run script merger by opening the exe with protontricks.

@RAIDEROFTHELASTARCH late response but I've completely revamped the guide by following a much more simpler approach. you can check it out if you're still having issues.

you probably figured it out by yourself a month ago but it should be /home/deck/Documents

at what part did you stuck?

Updated at 17 November 2024 This is a simple guide on how to set up The Witcher 3 Mod Manager and Script Merger on your Steam Deck running SteamOS. Enter desktop mode and let's get started. Protontricks Install Protontricks from Discover store. It is a wrapper script that allows you to easily run Windows executables and Winetricks commands for Steam Play/Proton games. We will use it to run Mod Manager and Script Merger. Mod Manager and Script Merger will ask for you to locate your game installation folder. Based on your installation, your game directory should appear in; Internal storage: "Z:/home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/common" SD card: "E:/steamapps/common" If your game is installed in internal storage, you need to enable hidden files using Protontricks. Open "Protontricks > Select the default wineprefix > Run winecfg > Drives" and check "Show dot files" box. Script Merger I suggest using the New Script Merger by Phaz42 as it has bunch of useful features that makes the process much easier if you're dealing with large number of mods. But you can also use the Original Script Merger. Original one should work right away but the new one (use version 0.9.6) requires an extra step since it requires .NET 6 to run: Open "Protontricks > Select the default wineprefix > Install a Windows DLL or component". Check "dotnet6" and "dotnetdesktop6" on the list and click OK. Complete the installation wizards that will appear. Mod Manager Download Mod Manager, extract to folder, run the executable with Protontricks app and select The Witcher 3 from the game list. This will make it run on TW3's wineprefix. It should ask for "witcher3.exe" location, select "bin/x64/witcher3.exe" or "bin/x64_dx12/witcher3.exe" inside your game installation. Also locate your Script Merger executable from top menu: "Settings > Configure Settings > Change Script Merger Path". You're ready to go, start installing your mods! Here's a mod I recommend to replace Steam Controller input hints with Xbox hints: Steam normally forces Steam Controller icons on the game UI for the deck, you can replace them with Xbox or PlayStation icons using this mod.

Thank you for your efforts, I hope someone does. I didn't understand your last statement btw. What did you mean by that?

Hello everyone, I was wondering if there is a mod that shows a path to follow for that green custom marker on the map, just like the dotted line path for the quest objectives. It would be a very useful mod for me because I sometimes put custom marker on the map, but I accidentally follow the dotted line out of habit as if it was going to guide me to the custom marker.
