I've got a substantial library of games on GOG and Epic that I wanted to play on the Steam Deck, and I've used the Heroic Launcher with some success to access a lot of my libraries on those two platforms, but managing the compatibility per game is a bit frustrating and sometimes after an update things break.

Can anyone else share any success or failure stories here? The only other place I've seen this discussion was on Steam itself and I wanted a non-steam take on the practice of running non-steam platform games and what works.

I was trying to play Wildfire via Heroic Launcher on GOG and all it gave me was a weird tex2d function not found error. Unsure how to proceed. Although Proton community seems to indicate that Wildfire works perfectly on Steam deck with latest Proton. Not sure where the disconnect is.
