Heroic Issue on Steam Deck, doesn't open via Flatpak install
Hello, I've had Heroic installed for about a year and haven't had an issue with it until today. It just doesn't start, no matter if I open it in gaming or desktop mode. Re-installing also doesn't solve it permanently, after installing it through discover it opens and I can configure everything, but after closing and trying to open it again nothing happens.
The AppImage works but it's not "identifying" the installed games, even when redirecting the Default Installation Path there. I also tried syncing already installed Epic Games but still nothing.
As it stands now I still have Kingdom Come Deliverance (Epic) and Control Ultimate Editon (GOG) installed, but neither can be found/used.
Is there a way to "fix" the Flatpak version?
Are my games save files stored locally or does Heroic automatically enable cloud save?

Update on my part: I figured out how to sync the games and my save files.
The only problem I still have is getting the Flatpak version to work again, so that I can actually comfortably play in gaming mode
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

something I would try is uninstalling Heroic then deleting the entire
~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl folderyelping-magentaOP•3y ago
Just tried that, still nothing.
Deleted the abovementioned folder and re-installed, after closing it once it doesn't open again. After deleting the folder again the cycle repeats

can you post a heroic log here? maybe there's a clue in it

Hope that's the right one, it didn't open the folder after clicking the prompt
There are also logs for "legendary" and "gogdl"

That's the last log of the AppImage version https://paste.debian.net/1273255/
Not sure if that's relevant, but those logs are stored on a completely different path
/home/deck/.config/heroic/logs
The Flatpak ones are under /home/deck/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/logs/
