Launchers don't launch

[lfilho]

Hey @moraroy, continuing from my report here #258, decided to create this new thread, since it's apparently a separate issue.

So, I was able to install the Launchers, and they show on the non-steam tab of my library.

But when I run them, nothing happens. Tried both desktop and gaming modes, tried restarting the deck, tried disabling Developer mode...

More specifically, on desktop, the green "Play" button becomes the blue "Stop" button and nothing else for minutes until I force it to stop. And on Gaming mode the loading animation screen starts but never ends and i have to press A to force quit it.

Not sure if related but during the installation i saw the Battle.net login screen popup, but before i could open my password manager to get my password, it vanished from the screen.

Any clues??

Here's what appears in the logs after i click to launch battle.net:

And after I click "Stop":

Started an installation from zero, including deleting the log file. Then i grepped it for errors:

Error: /home/deck/.config/systemd/user/env_vars does not exist.
Error: /home/deck/.config/systemd/user/env_vars does not exist.

And warnings:

It now worked. I'm not sure what did it this time. Maybe the combination of restarting + disabling dev mode + restarting + installation from scratch? Launching a game via desktop mode doesn't work but via gaming mode does so far!

[moraroy]

@lfilho is this still broken for you?

[lfilho]

Hey @moraroy thanks for following up. I haven't played much on Deck since I posted, but as per my last messge it was finally working on Game Mode, just not Desktop mode, which is not that big of a deal for me anyway. Would you like me to test Desktop mode?

[moraroy]

@lfilho yes please!
