Default Steamdeck problem

Hello friends!

I recently followed this wonderful guide to get P1999 set up on my steamdeck

P99 STEAMDECK STEP BY STEP - Project 1999

Because the download takes forever, I ended up just copying my EQ P1999 folder to google drive and and loaded to the deck from there. worked fine. Followed the rest of the steps and to my surprise it worked, it loaded in. I had the typical problem of no servers populating, but that worked by using my cell phone as a mobile hotspot and connecting to the cell phones wifi.

So heres the problem im encountering:

After I closed the game down, and tried to launch it again, nothing happened. It starts to launch the game and then it just stops or the game crashes. I tried and tried, rechecking to make sure nothing changed in the forced proton package or anything, and nothing did. Tried restarting the deck, no change. So I went and reinstalled the whole thing, deleted the P1999 EQ folder and removed the non steam game from steam. Reinstalled it and readded it and it worked again. But again after it working for the first time, I tried to load the game a second time and nothing, it crashes.

So for me to be able to play it, I have to reinstall the whole game every time, and I get one use out of it, before it needs reinstalled again.

Im just wondering if anyone has encountered this, or if anyone has any suggestions. Its a massive pain in the ass to have to do this every time. My deck is a bit older, but runs just fine. Its a 256 gb version, of the non OLED.

Thanks in advance!

Hey boss, any chance you figured this out? Im seeing something similar, I have not got the game to launch and all. Ive tried removing and readding, verified my install works on my PC, but when I try to launch on the deck it looks like it starts but then just nothing happens.
