#Certain games not booting through steam

Some games are not working through steam. The two I've specifically had issues with are deadlock and Balatro. I've tried other games (death stranding, smite 2, resident evil 4 remake) and those run perfectly.
l've made sure all of my vulkan and nvidia dependencies/ drivers are installed and up to date. I've tried booting with proton experimental, proton hotfix, and proton 8-8.5.
What specifically happens is I will try to launch the game through steam, it says launching and running for a few seconds, and then stops like the game just closed itself out.
Anyone have any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!

are you using a discrete gpu?

#

I tried running deadlock with gamescope earlier and it worked

since balatro doesnt natively support linux and as u mentioned proton doesnt work either maybe try lutris
with lutris try to run the game using wine and see if it helps

I would say setup gamescope instead, its the recommended way to run games with hyprland anyway
