Same settings. The game launches through heroic no issue, I "add steam shortcut" and when I launch the shortcut I get a black screen although I hear the sound of the intro/main menu.
Why would it be different if I launch it in desktop or through steam fullscreen ?
And it's a bit harder to do that through the steamdeck

because there are reasons, and we need to have a fuller view of the configuration before we start spitting out possible answers

Here it goes then, the one after the "failed" launch through steamdeck gamemode:

do you have shader pre-caching enabled in Steam @ZoidbergForPresident ?
wise-whiteOP•5mo ago
Ooooh, so that's in steam ?!
harsh-harlequin•5mo ago
not sure what you mean
but together with UMU you need to have shader pre-caching enabled in steam in order for this to work

On the other thread there was question of that setting but I was searching Heroic's

i explicitely said twice in that thread where to find it.

flip this as well to save some trouble

Found one, but none were in the "logical" place. You're a peach. :p
OK, well option was already active... :/ Maybe by circumventing the launcher it would work ? I tried putting -d3d11 or -nolauncher in heroic game's arguments, to no avail... it still launches the launcher...

no, read the rest of the thread.
there's a link to a reddit thing
