Also happening to me
Also happening to me - Bottles used to work fine and was great on Steam Deck for running GoG games. Then a few weeks ago, just stopped working.
When trying to launch - the mouse cursor shows busy for a second or two - then nothing. No error messages. Bottles does not run.
Probably related to: https://github.com/bottlesdevs/Bottles/pull/3211
Does anyone know of a way to rollback to the version before the last update or just reinstall an old version?

I might try and copy my install from my og steam deck that still has the old version and see how the transfer goes on my oled sd
Is this just perma broken?

feels that way as literally no one is responding and cant find a fix online. Major sadness
So I found out with the help of koplo199 that if you add --args-replace after the second run in the launch options it should work fine. Still annoying but it's a solution

tried that awhile ago and still did not work.
You sure you did that correctly? I'm using BoilR to make the shortcuts to Steam btw

just tried again and it just circles then crashes back as if it never launched. I can run the steam shortcut perfectly fine in desktop mode. But gaming mode no luck.
Very weird...

i am at a complete loss. New version is on github but it has not updated to the flatpak store version
Assuming you installed from flat hub (the default on steam deck discover store):
this command will show version history: flatpak remote-info --log flathub com.usebottles.bottles
this command will downgrade to the December build before steam launches stopped working: sudo flatpak update --commit=34fd84393ff5717222995783ae052c4da78ab0e15bfeb9649b1bdf3f72592235 com.usebottles.bottles
you must use sudo when downgrading.
If it works you may wish to run: flatpak mask com.usebottles.bottles to prevent accidental upgrades.
The above worked on my steam deck and restored launching bottled executables from steam, although I was already using a shell script to do flatpak run instead of xdg-open.
Does this bug happen for apps installed before this PR?
It does not seem to matter when the app was installed, only the version of Bottles that is presently installed has an effect.

Thanks This worked for me when before it would try to launch the game , show the steam logo circle and then silently shut down.
Though the issue for me first randomly appeared today when updating the runner to try and make a game work.
I tried to run XDefiant today,It works very well on desktop mode, but launch backgroud on gamemode(I can heard the game sound but stuck at steam logo), tried to lauch ubisoft connect on gamemode and it stuck at steam logo..pretty sure it is launched but stuck background
This fix worked for me. Don't enter the quotes in my example.
Open the properties for the program in steam and under target change "xdg-open" to "flatpak", and under Launch options change " bottles:run/'bottle_name'/'Game_Name' " to " run --command=bottles-cli com.usebottles.bottles run -b 'bottle_name' -p 'Game_Name' ". This has worked for me just fine.

Some programs I installed this way weren't working. But when if I went in to Bottles and clicked the options next to a program and added it to library, they started working again.
I can confirm that adding the program to the library allows the program to launch in gaming mode on the Steam Deck, even if it is later removed from the library. Something that occurs when adding a program to the library fixes this issue. Seems related to https://github.com/bottlesdevs/Bottles/issues/2650 and https://github.com/bottlesdevs/Bottles/issues/2020
Describe the bug
