Games Stuck on "Launching"

I click to play a game and it is just stuck on launching. From the log, it seems like Heroic thinks it launched the game, but it didn't. Please help! I'm new but I think I've included what the Read Me First asked for. Let me know if you need more info.

Okay so I kept digging and it looks like what worked was going to "Advanced" tab in Settings and adding the environment variable SteamDeck with a value of 1, then in the "Other" tab enabling "Use Steam Runtime". I also enabled "Use Dedicated Graphics Card" in the "Other" tab and that helped with another game. Hope this helps someone.

What I typed in the environment variables section, right? Sure thing. For "Variable Name" I typed "SteamDeck" and for "Value" I typed "1"
