Trying to play EGS version on steam deck, stuck at loading screen.

Anyone have a fix for this? It stays stuck at loading screen upon launch.

I'm getting the exact same thing.

when I launched from epic It opened my browser and I needed to accept the link between game and epic.
The game was stuck on loading screen until this was done. This is probably your problem

Yeah, that is exactly what is happening. I booted my Steam Deck into desktop mode and connected a keyboard and mouse. It was bringing up the Epic Store login page and I had to login and accept. Now I can run it straight from the regular Deck Steam/Big Picture Mode with no issues!

Thanks for sharing this update. I've only had a chance to play for an hour but so far game appears great.

you can cancel and it will run.
if you have accepted it, you can go to the epic web page and edit your account permissions.
