Launcher works great but the game itself doesnt launch, the launcher will either minimize itself and do nothing or the launcher will reappear after clicking play

Reproduction

Click play on strinova, watch as the game never launches, Might be because of the anticheat being used (anticheat expert)

Interestingly enough, with Proton 9, the game runs on the Steam Deck without issues, but when I try on my laptop running NixOS, it goes absolutely nowhere outside the launcher.

That's interesting as another game delta force was doing that also

Maybe valve gives the option to block desktop Linux users from accessing the game?

Devs also removed?? discussion about Steam Deck support, which is quiet suspicious. All positive reports from ProtonDB are from Steam Deck, while all negatives - from desktop users.

I am new to linux so please take my response with a grain of salt, but if the issue is whether or not the game is running off a steam deck or not would a possible fix be to to make proton think its running off a steam deck somehow?

It is highly likely that you could spoof yourself for being a steamdeck but that could lead to a ban also probably

I don't understand why these studios are choosing to support the steamdeck quietly and not desktop when the steamdeck is a desktop PC and you could do the same things as you could on a Linux desktop machine

Could it maybe be because the steam-deck has its own custom valve-kernel and there is something in there that allows the game to run?
