Bloodstained : Ritual of the Night won't launch in Gaming Mode (Steam Deck)

Hello, I downloaded Bloodstained : Ritual of the Night using the Heroic Game Launcher, but, in gaming mode, the game doesn't seem to even boot. Steam loads for a few seconds, like with any other game but then kicks me back to the game entry on Steam. Now, when launching in Desktop Mode using the game's page on Heroic Launcher (with the "Use Steam Runtime" option checked), the game launches fine. Except my Steam Deck buttons are considered keyboard keys and the controls lock up every few seconds. So it'd be nice if I could run the game through Gaming Mode. Any idea of what I could do to fix this ? Thank you.

When launching the game through Gaming Mode, should I check the Force compatibility option on Steam (and set Proton-GE there) or should I leave it uncheck and only set a version of Proton-GE in the game's settings in Heroic Launcher ?

only in heroic, don't set a compatability option in steam for heroic games

Okay, because I did just that and disabled Steam Runtime (couldn't find how to enable UMU ? it's a Proton GE thing from what I can gather, I only found "Disable UMU" in Heroic) and it runs on Gaming Mode now Thank you both 👍

Checking and unchecking that would force enabling it

Okay, I had the option checked anyway to see what it would do. But it did not worked so I unchecked it after. I think I had the force compatibility option enabled, so that might be why it could not launch. played for a few minutes, game runs without issue for now
