Game won't start on Steam Deck

[Jack The Riffer]

I have been trying to get the game to start on Steam Deck. A pop up says the version of Linux is not compatible with the game and I have the choice of continue anyway, however using the touchpad and tapping the screen where it says continue anyway doesn't work neither does pressing any of the x,y,b,a buttons. Steam verified says this game is playable. I am using Steam Deck Os 3.3.2 the build is 20221005.1 Stable. I have not modded anything. And only using handheld mode to play all my games, also I am not using a dock.

I took a snapshot of the pop up with the Steam button & R1 but I cannot attach it to this post using the Steam Deck 🤔 any help would be great.

Did you get it resolved?

I had that problem myself on first install of the Linux version. Not sure how I fixed it. Eventually it started working.

The Windows version via Proton supports Cloud Syncing across devices. If you go into the properties for the game and choose a Proton version it will switch to the Windows version of the game.

I followed Niko's advice from 'Deck cloud topic' using windows version with proton, as CJM also says, no problems so far.

Same issues here FWIW. Playing the native GNU/Linux version on Arch, the game wouldn't launch anymore. It used to run fine when I tried ages ago, so Feral's build probably depends on some external library that they're not bundling but has changed to be incompatible. Not good.

I think the GNU/Linux version should probably be hidden behind a beta flag that people have to manually opt-in to, if they want it for some reason (maybe for support with older hardware when installed on an older distro?).

Anyway, switching to Proton, the game works fine. 3840x2160, all settings maxed out, DX12 mode, 80 FPS average in the benchmark tool (with an old i7-6700k + an RX 6800 XT).

Нужно перейти в "Рабочий стол" дека, в библиотеке стима на игре правой кнопкой мыши, выбираем "Свойства", там выбираем "Контроллер", и выбираем "Включить систему ввода Steam", запускаем игру и убираем автоматическое отображение лаунчера (галочку внизу поставить, не показывать). Заходим обратно в "Игровой режим".

It resolved itself in the end after a Steam Deck update it started to work.
