The achievements are broken for some reason due to launching through the r2modmanplus AppImage.

Please help, So I finished on console and wanted to try a new modded run on my Steam Deck. The game ran perfectly on Proton (because I tried native, and it didn't work) with mods using the r2modmanplus appimage, but the achievements were permanently broken/disabled until I switched the compatibility layer, and then it was back to normal. The thing is, it's not caused by mods, because I even tested "start vanilla" after switching layers to fix it; the moment I open it, it's broken like in this image again. I even took the extra step of downloading, reinstalling, and creating a fresh r2 profile with 0 mods, then "start vanilla" again, but it still happens. When I open the game directly in vanilla, it remains broken until switching layers. What could possibly cause this? Uninstalling and redownloading the game has no effect.

Can you post your LogOutput file?

How to Open Your Profile Folder

Your Profile is where your mods and LogOutput file are stored when using a Thunderstore installer. Whenever manual-installation mods are referring to your game files folder, your Profile folder is where you should actually be using instead.

Okay, actually, this is more bizarre than I thought. It turns out opening the R2 AppImage itself is okay, but if I dare to select even the Silksong game on the game selection screen and then choose Store (Steam), then on the profile selection screen, that's the exact moment (probably exactly when selecting the platform) when the achievement becomes the screenshot above. So, I can't give you my log when there are no mods, let alone even the console window itself.

Tried GaleModManager, it does the same. The Proton version of the game immediately breaks achievements the moment it touches the managers, unlike the native version, which has working achievements but launches unmodded even with launch arguments. For Gale, the only way is to access it using direct launch, but that opens another can of worms. Yes, achievements and mods work, but it launches from the AppImage extra window, making tracking confusing and sharing power plans and controls with the AppImage instead of the game.

Interesting

So, if anyone can help figure out how to connect (modded instead of vanilla) the native version of the game with r2/gale on Steam Deck, please tell me.
