Rocket League closing immediately when starting in game mode.
So Rocket League refuses to start in game mode, it works fine in desktop mode. But in game mode it closes after a couple seconds of black screen. I have a alternate exe aswell as the normal one, that starts both Rocket League and bakkes mod but Rocket League dosent start with that either (bakkes mod opens no problem). I have no idea how to fix this, any tips?

You create a text file with some code found here:

I moved bakkesmod.exe to the same folder as RocketLeague.exe then i used the script in the reddit post above but altered the file paths to the corresponding steam deck ones that lead to the folder with bakkesmod and Rocket League, you paste that script into a text file then rename it to .bat and then you use a .bat to .exe converter and simply launch .exe after adding to steam and activating proton.
I did it fully on steam deck by adding a .bat to .exe converter to steam but it was a real pain, so i think it would be easier to do it on Windows and then copy the files over.
