Adding Launcher to Steam after installing
Go into Desktop mode, you can do this by opening the Power menu of the Steam Deck.
Find the launcher .exe and once again Right-click and choose Properties…
Scroll down and select Browse…. and in the bottom next to “File type:” select “All Files”
You are now going to look for Origin’s “wine prefix” folder, it will be in /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata. Look for a folder with a name consisting of 10 numbers, If you have multiple then look at the “Date Modified” or open the folder and subfolders and check the contents. Remember the number, you will need it for adding the games to Steam separately.
Inside the wine prefix folder go to pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/(launcher). Somewhere Inside that folder should be the launcher .exe, select it and press open.
Feel free to now name the shortcut and close the window
You can now launch and install the games you want. You can also press play from here to play the games, but you might want to directly add them to Steam as well.

Launch options for game. This will point Steam Play/Proton to start in the directory the launcher is installed in. This will fix the issue with updating the launcher and games, and having to login for each game individually. It will also fix cloud saves.
