Some Decky Plugin NSL shortcuts not launching

[Shadow2lead]

I used the decky plugin to install games from gog. Some are working: click the shortcut in Non-Steam in game mode, gog launches, the game auto launches. For others I click the shortcut, click play and the screen flashes and just returns to the steam game screen without launching the game. However, if I run gog and run the game from within gog then the game runs.

Problem games:
Heroes of Might and Magic
Possibly Heroes of Might and Magic II (I think it created two shortcuts to heroes 1, and I don't actually have a shortcut to 2)
Star Wars Episode 1 Racer

I have tried restarting the steam deck, but the links in steam still did not work for those games (they can still run directly from gog Galaxy)

@Shadow2lead yeah it may be because it isnt parsing those games correctly for whatever reason, there is no dlc involved correct?

[Shadow2lead]

Correct, no dlc involved. All 90s or early 00s games. I'll have to double check later, but I think a few of the games with the problems run via dosbox, but at least one (Racer) I'm almost certain doesn't.

@Shadow2lead oh dang im not sure if i even have dos box games on my gog... how can i check that in the gog launcher?

[Shadow2lead]

If you go to manage installation, show folder, there is a "DOSBOX" folder on each I've checked, but also when you start the game you'd see a dosbox window pop up briefly as that starts up to then run the game.
