gogdl fails to query game download info

Hello, I installed Heroic v 2.8.0 via flathub to my Steamdeck, but I've been running into intermittent gogdl failures when it attempts to query the game install information. I'm using the bundled gogdl binary, but it still throws an error. The relevent error: stdout = false and res.about = false in getInstallInfo I've not found anything in the github issues tracker or documentation referencing such an issue, and I don't see any permissions set incorrectly that might prevent gogdl from working properly. There are no connection errors shown and other log entries indicate my auth token is valid.

The really odd thing is I'll occasionally successfully query some game info, but only after 3 failures, and if the info is cached from "ExtraGameInfo" and seemingly only for windows binaries. Has anyone encountered this error before or know where to get more verbose error info? Anything? should I file a bug report?

I've seen this error before, I haven't tried to debug it though if you go to settings > logs and click the button to open the folder with logs, you should see gogdl logs there too
