Can't launch Epic games in gaming mode
Oddly, I can run my games from desktop mode completely fine. The instant I go into gaming mode, specifically only Epic store games just completely fail to run at all. They sit on the steam loading screen endlessly, and can't be killed.
Running from a command line works fine from desktop mode, so... I'm not really sure how/where to collect logs for this kinda issue.

Using a different wine version seems to bring up the dialogues for updating the wine prefix in gaming mode
But still no cigar
Checking the last run logs of the game in the launcher appears that a lot of DirectX libraries fail to load specifically in gaming mode
Solved, dxvk fixed it

If you use wine, you need to manually install dxvk/vkd3d otherwise it will try to run via wined3d. If you use proton these are already included. For steam deck proton is usually OK, but gives you less info when something goes bad. DXVK is needed for the DirectX 9-11, and Vkd3d is for DX12

you need to post your log. Please read the pinned support thread
changing wine versions without any real knowledge as to why you would is usually not the fix for things, and can cause problems on its own
