    Beginning.
  1. On Steam Deck, pressing "play" will send you to the game, if you own Paradise Lost, you'll likely see this:
    Settings change.
  2. Go to the cog wheel, then press "properties."

  3. Go to "compatibility," then tick this setting.

  4. press the dropdown hat appears after you tick he check box, then chose any setting that isn't the Linux runtime ones, I recommend using Proton experimental.

    Outcome

  5. After you let it update for the compatibility, it should show up! Enjoy!

Concluding note.

As of writing, GameSpy, the server hosters for Share the Pain, has shut down so only some servers and playing LAN will work.
Have fun though.
