fail to launch

[anarchistische-ecke]

when i try to start vortex from the desktop icon it loads for a bit and then instantly closes. steam in the background is open

I'm guessing this is the same issue somebody had before, where Vortex wasn't actually installed completely. Can try following here: https://github.com/pikdum/steam-deck/issues/11#issuecomment-1568829482

yes, judging by the log file it certainly is the problem with downloading, although i cant seem to understand what is problem, since vortex and proton downloaded just fine(?)

You're having issues downloading the .NET runtime: https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/85473c45-8d91-48cb-ab41-86ec7abc1000/83cd0c82f0cde9a566bae4245ea5a65b/windowsdesktop-runtime-6.0.16-win-x64.exe

Oh, and Vortex too: https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/releases/download/v1.8.3/vortex-setup-1.8.3.exe

Maybe your Steam Deck's internet connection is flaky?

[anarchistische-ecke]

oh my... i just tethered from my phone and although it was much slower, it has actually worked! thanks so much!

[pikdum]

Nice, I'll go ahead and close this then. Opened https://github.com/pikdum/steam-deck/issues/31 to track properly failing the install when things fail to download, rather than continuing to set up the desktop icons.
