GTA 5 works on desktop but the game mode shortcut
the game will launch on desktop mode but the controls are all funky I assume cause they are for desktop?
I tried to set up a short cut on steam but it won't work it just takes me to the rockstar launcher and tells me to buy it

when you are in desktop mode on the steamdeck, you can hold this 3-lines button to switch the controller between desktop and gaming mode

That did work to get it to run in desktop thank you!
Is there a way to get the steam shortcut working?
national-gold•4mo ago
how are you adding the shortcut to steam?
optimistic-goldOP•4mo ago
I tried both adding it through heroic and through the desktop shortcut both don't work properly
So far it works on desktop even with mods so even if I can't get the shortcut working it's not that much of a loss

add it using the
add to steam option in heroic and share a new log after it fails to start
also, make sure you DO NOT set a compatibility in steam itselfoptimistic-goldOP•4mo ago
Where would I find the log?
national-gold•4mo ago
in heroic
- run the game in gaming mode
- restart to desktop mode
- open heroic
- right click the game in the library > logs

is that the right one?
national-gold•4mo ago
that's the right one though it doesn't show anything obvious to me about the issue
just curious, if you run the game using the steam shortcut in desktop mode, does it also not work?
optimistic-goldOP•4mo ago
Let me check
Okay so interestingly enough the heroic made shortcut does not work however the shortcut from the add shortcut right above the add to steam button
That one does work with steam
And just confirmed that it doesn't work in gaming mode again

not sure what could be happening, but what I would try is to set proton-ge-latest instead of
proton experimental and enable umu in general settings > advanced > experimental features
maybe that helpsoptimistic-goldOP•4mo ago
In heroic launcher?
I do not see ge-latest I see ge-proton9-5
Anywhere in particular I find it?
Okay so umu just made the game not start at all not even in heroic itself
optimistic-gold•4mo ago
Try proton-ge (24) + umu and if both still fail, re-upload a log
national-gold•4mo ago
in heroic you can install proton-ge in the
Wine manager section in the sidebaroptimistic-goldOP•4mo ago
It worked! The only downside was that the mods stopped working for some reason but I'll just run through the story then revert to the original wine prefix then play with those
optimistic-gold•4mo ago
It probably just created a new prefix so you'd need to reinstall them and it should work fine after that
optimistic-goldOP•4mo ago
Would I just need to install them anywhere new? Because they didn't get removed or anything and I deleted them and put them back just incase and it didn't work
