How do I make the game launch in OpenGL version (Steam Deck)?

[PhantomRise]

Returning to DC after not having played for some time. I recall the game used to give me a prompt at launch to choose between "OpenGL" or "Normal" (or something like that). But it no longer does so and just launches the game right up.

I recall the OpenGL version ran better on Steam Deck (the menu is really laggy & unresponsive in the normal version. I have to click each option several times for it to register).

I just uninstalled & reinstalled the game and it still just launches in normal mode automatically. How do I get that OpenGL prompt to start appearing again? I assume it might have something to do with this "launch options" field in Properties, but I have no idea how to use that.

TIA

There is a drop-down box underneath and to the right of the "Launch Options" text that has the option you want. Yours is set to "Play Dead Cells" instead of "Ask when starting game" or "Play Dead Cells (OpenGL - Legacy)". It is above the field where you manually enter launch options.

Delayed response.. I see this drop-down on PC, but it doesn't exist on Steam Deck, which is where I want it.
