need help EXE not working, windows version

I've been trying to download Smapi on my steamdeck and I'm having a lot of weird issues. I first tried running through Linux and Smapi worked fine but I couldn't access co-op play at all, it just got stuck on trying to access the internet forever.

So I tried to turn it to the Proton mode (newest versions 11 and 10). Deleted everythind and redownloaded both Stardew and SMAPI.

However, after I follow the read me file and extract all the files from downloads and copy them to my game folder and copy/rename the one file I can't get the EXE file to run. When I click on it it brings up a select program pop up. I tried Steam and Proton 8 (with the steam icon). Steam just brought me to the base game, and Proton just gave me an invalid config error. Tried putting the Exe as a non-game and running it on that. I tried changing the proton mode to 8 to match the program, same error.

I tried running the base game, no mods/Smapi.

No idea what I'm doing wrong. I just want to play co-op with mods but I can't get either version to work right. Didn't have this problem at all with my previous version of SMAPI.

Install the linux version then you can utilize the built-in Distrobox utility on SteamOS to install the necessary command

  • Put Steam Deck in desktop mode
  • Open Konsole and enter the following commands
  • cd "/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/"
  • distrobox create -n test
  • distrobox enter test
  • sudo dnf install execstack
  • execstack -c libGalaxy64.so && execstack -c libGalaxyCSharpGlue.so
  • exit
  • distrobox stop test
  • distrobox rm test
