GTA V Enhanced on Steam Deck (LCD)
I have installed the fix.bat ( start "" EpicGamesLauncher.exe PlayGTAV.exe %*) and selected the wine version geProton9.25GTA . Also completely deleted and redownloaded GTA V E. However it still crashes with the Internal Error and prerequisites. I have tried running it with arguments -onSteamDeck and with BattleEye on and off. Still always the same Error.
Any ideas...., Im out at this point. Maybe need to try GTA V Legacy
The Game log is as follows
Steam was running, eventough I dont know why it should matter

I did a quick search for
ld-linux.so.2: could not open here in discord and there are many threads with that error
the things I read that could maybe fix this:
- reinstall heroic (no need to uninstall games, just uninstall and reinstall heroic)
- try repairing the game (probably not an issue since you just installed the game, but doesn't hurt to try, 3-dots menu in game page > verify and repair)
- make sure the heroic flatpak has the default permissions (use flatseal, it has an option to reset permissions of a given flatpak)conscious-sapphireOP•3mo ago
ok thanks, will try those points
Hey, update, it works now thanks a lot!!! :woohoo: I did reinstall Heroic and reset the permissions through flatseal, so not sure what of those 2 things did it.
I can now launch it through Heroic in Gamemode, do you know of a way to launch Rockstar games directly as a non-steam game? Tried adding the fix.bat as non steam game, but then it says it doesn't support windows 7 and 8. If not Im still very happy it works at all 😄

Do not add things manually as non steam games to Steam
conscious-sapphireOP•3mo ago
generally not, or would with tools such as e.g. nonsteamlaunchers be an option?

in heroic > game details page > 3-dots menu > add to steam
generous-apricot•3mo ago
Don’t bother with NonSteamLaunchers. It’s antithetical to Heroic
