Heroic Launcher games added to steam library
I am having issues opening games that I have added to steam library on steam deck. The game opens fine on the heroic Launcher but that means I have to open it with desktop mode only. Any tips? #🆘-support
This is the error that shows when using the launch options in steam:

Just start the gane via steam
Afterwards start heroic normal and get the old (not current) log of heroic from the settings and the gamelogs of the game aswell. As i said check the read me first post how to get this logs

I have the same problem I can install and make a prefix folder. I can test and play in desktop mode but when I click add to steam it spins and doesn't add to steam just spins. I was told by a member there its a problem is steam os. Just hope it gets fixed asap.

My apologies for not reading the post properly. I'm also not sure whether this counts as a heroic or game issue (as the game technically doesn't start) so I've attached both the current and last log.

Enable dxvk and vkd3d in the game settings
You can get wine-ge from our wine manager
