Launch options and Everspace 2
I'm having an issue where I can't start Everspace 2 in the game mode of Steam Deck. The game is just not loading at all. The game needs to be launched through launch options, like in this request https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/3998
Is there a way to say "I want to pick launch option 2" or I'm blocked out to play this game on Steam Deck?

Did you try "set alternative exe" option with game exec pointed in there, as a possible workaround?
In heroic's game options

In this game, there is only one exe, apparently.

Still, do that if that somehow avoids the need above

After a try, the issue is still there. I'm not able to pick the right version in any way if I try to open the game through steam, in or out of game mode.
Hum, this is weird. If I try to launch Heroic through Steam, and then launch the game, it just crashes too. But launching the game without steam, it just works.

Don’t launch Heroic from Steam. Just launch the shortcut that Heroic adds to Steam

That's what I always do, but with Everspace 2 it just fails. I ended up refunding the game after 3h trying to start it. I tried using any of the .exe executables I found in the folder, no luck. I suppose I will need to buy this one on Steam later.
