Alternatively you can add them as a non-steam game and run them through steam

This is what I was trying to do.

I have them all set up and installed on a Games folder in either my SD card or SSD (depending on the game).

I add to Steam for the .exe and run via Proton Experimental or Hotfix or 11.

Via Desktop, the game launches, shaders cache, etc. but the screen is frozen on a gray or black or white blank screen — if I tab out or use the system key, I can see the game running fine in the background.

You’ll probably have better luck with heroic, but for steam try these

running the game through game mode instead of desktop mode

disabling steam overlay for the game

setting the game to windowed or borderless window mode (either by changing a setting config file or pressing alt+enter while the game is running).

  Disabling Steam Overlay fixed it. Thanks!
