White Screen on steam deck.

[Aesher]

Has anyone had this issue on the steam deck?

It just finished downloading and i tried to play it and it goes to a white screen. I tried to change the proton version no luck. I even verified the integrity of files and it still will not load. any help would be appreciated.

Still having issues? White screen is usually due to not being in Fullscreen Mode. You can go about this in two ways:

Game Mode: launch the config dropdown option instead of the game itself and select Fullscreen, or
Desktop Mode: launch the game and set it to Fullscreen through the in-game options, or the launcher config option similar to above

I'm having the same issue on my Deck, can only launch the game with Windows set to Portrait mode, and it only launches in a window. Trying to set it to fullscreen fails and trying to change resolution causes the game to crash.

Did you set up the resolution and screen mode in the config before starting the game? What happened when you tried borderless mode? I don't have a steam deck btw, but if you give some more info it might be possible to figure out what your issue is.

I only had this issue when trying to play it on Windows 11 on Deck, under SteamOS it works fine.

You can get it to launch by changing windows into Portrait mode and then switching back to Landscape after the game starts.

The game doesn't start at all. It's just a white screen. So there are no 'in game' options

Change the game resolution to 1080p via the cog on the right side before you click 'play'.

Tried this, but no luck.

was able to get it working, i can replicate the whitescreen issue on my desktop PC by playing at 1200x720, so it's def resolution issue. On the deck when you set the game's resolution in the manage properties screen, just be sure to also check "set internal and external display" resolution. I set mine to 1080p, no more whitescreen!

Thanks, this fixed it. This wasn't the only game that I had white screen issues, seems like the last update completely F it up.

Did 1080p and internal+external, still white screen under Win on Deck.

Same issue here. New OLED model 512GB. I've tried just about every suggestion I could find online and nothing works.

White screen oled 512 checking in. Tried about everything I could think of including glorious eggroll releases and re-install. Hope someone can figure it out eventually.

*edit/

So I actually thought the person who recommended running 1080p in settings wasn't on Steam Deck since the Deck doesn't support that resolution. In any case, they were right. Setting 1080p in Properties>General>Game Resolution and ticking the "Set resolution for internal and external display" option gets the game to launch as they said. You can then set the game resolution to what you want in game without repercussion. I couldn't get 60fps locked at medium in 1080p so brought it back down to native res using in game settings.

There seems to be a bug, at least on my Oled deck, where the "Set resolution..." option doesn't appear underneath the Game Resolution box until I change the settings tab off of General to another one then come back, FYI.

Now I'm stuck figuring out why my buttons are all messed up. Having a hecka amount of trouble figuring out what's wrong there.

*edit #2*

Figured out my button woes. I found in another thread, user Kyararos discovered that the map and party menu keys are mutually exclusive relative to other keys. In this case, the trigger buttons interfere with them and won't work if either of the triggers are being held down. I confirmed by disabling my R2/L2 and suddenly I could then open the menu. I'm not sure exactly why, but just re-enabling and setting the respective R and L triggers to both Half and Full pull in the settings works. Weird.

Ah. That fix just doesn't work under Win on Deck for some reason then.
