Heroic Stopped Launching Games
Hi, I'm pretty useless with Linux, but manged to install Heroic on my steamdeck & it's been working fine for a few months. I tried installing Alan Wake 2 & it was stuck on 0%. Then I managed to install Amnesia but it wouldn't launch. The button goes to orange & back to green. I then tried Midnight Suns & Dead Island 2, which I'd been playing fine, but they wouldn't launch either. I have now installed multiple games from Epic & GOG & none will launch.
I've tried logging out of Epic & back in, uninstalling Heroic & then reinstalling it, updating all of the flatpaks & the GE Proton version & everything suggested in the post here. I'm not sure which logs you'd need, but any help I can get would be massively appreciated.

One of the game's log files is fine
To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.

The first one I'd tried renaming a folder that was suggested on here for someone else.
The second, I just installed & tried to play.
Solution
Try deleting
/home/deck/.local/share/umu/steamrt3/fascinating-indigo•2mo ago
FYI, its 0x0 as in zero not o, for future reference

I've deleted that folder & I've launched 2 games successfully, but I reinstalled Midnight suns & it was stuck on 'playing' for about 15 minutes before I stopped it. I'll add the log.

Thanks, I've put zeros in this time. Sorry about that.
Hi, I've tried again this morning & Midnight Suns is working now.
Thanks so much for your help. Do I need to do anything to mark this as sorted?
