Anyone here encountered "no licenses" error on Steam Deck?

gbe_fork works awesome with normal Wine on my computer.

But on Steam Deck I am trying to launch a game through Steam so that I can launch it in game mode. But I get an error popup saying no licenses. I have tried a few things:

1. Have a steam_appid.txt file with the game's appid as it is on Steam. Doesn't work.
2. Set appid to 1. Doesn't work.
3. Delete the steam_appid.txt file. Doesn't work.
4. Try setting PROTON_DISABLE_LSTEAMCLIENT=1. Also doesn't work.

What eventually worked was using Steamless to strip Steam's DRM completely. But I would rather use gbe_fork if possible.

Strangely, on my Linux laptop where I don't have Steam installed, gbe_fork works fine when I use it with Lutris and set the env var PROTON_DISABLE_LSTEAMCLIENT=1. But it is only on Steam Deck where I am having no luck.

Thanks for reading.

GBE can't just magically make SteamStub go away.
You'll have to use Steamless or the ColdClientLoader in "steamclient_experimental".

Thanks. I didn't know that. Will try this tomorrow.
