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 openld-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)

dual-salmonOP•3/8/25, 2:21 PM

ok thanks, will try those points

dual-salmonOP•3/8/25, 4:25 PM

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

dual-salmonOP•3/8/25, 4:42 PM

generally not, or would with tools such as e.g. nonsteamlaunchers be an option?

awake-maroon•3/8/25, 5:25 PM

in heroic > game details page > 3-dots menu > add to steam

nursing-lime•3/9/25, 5:30 AM

Don’t bother with NonSteamLaunchers. It’s antithetical to Heroic
