P3P Not Launching On Steam Deck

[vee-vee8]

Hello,

I've been working on setting up Reloaded on my Steam Deck, and I've run into an issue with P3P. I followed gamebanana's beginner's guides for modding P3R and P4G. However, when I try to start modded P3P from Reloaded to make sure everything's working properly, the console script runs but I never get the notice to launch the game through Wine, and then the process abruptly ends. When I try to launch through Steam, it starts for a second or two then abruptly stops. I don't see any error codes in either case.

Things I've tried already: double checking that the pathing to P3P.exe is correct, checking that both Wine and Protontricks are properly configed according to the guide's instructions, reinstalling/repairing Windows C++ and .NET for P3P, and disabling mods one after the other and tried launching to make sure it's not an issue with them (and double checking I had the dependencies).

I set up P3R through the same method and it runs perfectly (including the added window confirming launch using Wine), so I'm a bit at my wit's end at what went wrong. I appreciate any insight and advice! Thank you!

Update: I set up P5R through the same method and while it could launch through Reloaded, it wouldn't launch on Steam. After the test launch, my Steam Deck started exhibiting strange software behavior such as longer loading times, particularly with reading/updating Steam user data, and the right touchpad panel intermittently becoming unresponsive in desktop mode. I uninstalled Reloaded per the instructions on the guide and permanently deleted all files and folders in my trash. My Steam Deck is now working normally again. I'm not sure what happened? I'd appreciate any insight on it. In the meantime, I think I'll try modding on PC instead at a later date.
