Steam Deck & Ark not loading?

[Winds2157]

So Ark isn't loading past the steam logo. I get the music but that's it I've even tried to let it sit for like 2-3 hours (however long a couple of episodes of Flash is) and so far still nothing.

Everywhere I've looked has the basic troubleshooting of:
•Uninstall and reinstall
•Proton, which I've used Experimental, 7.0.5, and 6.3.8(?)
•Verifying Integrity
•running beta linux version
•running in desktop mode
•using the other launch option such as no battle eye, and low resolution

None which has had any luck, I got it to run when I first put in on my deck played for a couple of days no issues, and deleted it cause it started doing this but at the time I didn't pay it no mind because I figured maybe the deck just need to update as I know ark is a pretty big and buggy game with its issues, so I deleted it, and now I play for 2 hours and it's doing it again.

I mean at least I got to 100 hrs but still. I am currently reinstalling it again, for problem the 5th time today

One of the things I haven't tried is factory reseting the whole deck, but I figure if I gotta do that for only 1 game, than there just no point

Although it says compatible, Ive not heard of anyone being able to actually play Ark on steam deck, and considering that ark is indeed one of the most demanding games on pc, I seriously doubt a steam deck could run it.

Surprisingly often I play on there quite often just sometimes it starts acting up, but all in all it does work

Also sorry for the late reply, i was hoping the deck would pop up notif for this stuff but it doesn't lmao and my app doesn't tell me anything either

I am too have the same problem and have done the same things you have done. Nothing is working I removed every DLC and every mod but still no fix. I am currently uninstalling and reinstalling it right now after removing everything but this has really never worked.

I have about 67 hours on ark and after the update nothing seemed to work. I don't know if this is because of the mods I had downloaded. Hopefully there is a fix.

Also, Ik I'm a year late
