in that folder ~/Games/Heroic/RedDeadRdemption2/ theres EpicGamesLauncher.exe and PlayRDR2.exe and before you ask if fix.bat is correctly made

(deck@steamdeck RedDeadRedemption2)$ cat fix.bat 
start "" EpicGamesLauncher.exe PlayRDR2.exe %*

(deck@steamdeck RedDeadRedemption2)$ cat fix.bat 
start "" EpicGamesLauncher.exe PlayRDR2.exe %*

can you try this: - delete the prefix folder /home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Red Dead Redemption 2 - configure Wine-GE-Latest instead of Proton-GE - run the game because I remember I did have that issue one time with the launcher trying to run steam and it was caused by proton passing steam-related informationo to the launcher so it gets confused

sensitive-blueOP•5mo ago

is the prefix folder the place where it provides an virtual env for the rockstar launcher? im doing the launcher install and the rerun of the game to see if this helps

exotic-emerald•5mo ago

yes

sensitive-blueOP•5mo ago

okay it works... the game is too laggy for me to do anything cuz steamdeck but the game is confirmed working thank you
