Steam Deck Windows 11 Pro won't start
One of the few games that doesn't work. The startup pic displays but soon after the game closes and stops loading. I've all the compatibility modes and none of them work. Has anyone found a fix? Thanks in advance.

Worked perfectly fine for me today. Using proton experimental. Turned off all frame limiting or performance limiters. Not sure if that matters but I put a resolution of 1280x720 in the settings. And didn't push any buttons until the main menu comes up. Let me know, we can figure out what works.

I'm having the same exact issue. The same thing happens with Mortal Kombat 11. I'm subscribing to this post just in case a fix pops up.

This post is referring to Injustice 2 running on Windows 11 Pro. If you install Windows 11 on Steam Deck, for some reason Injustice 2 and Mortal Kombat 11 instantly crash after the splash screen.

I finally fixed it;

Injustice 2 - Steam - 28/09/2022 - This was one of the first games I tested on Windows since I got my Steam Deck. Unfortunately, it didn't work and crashed-out during the loading splash screen.
However, today I've found a fix. You will need to download a few things;
1. 7zip or equivalent - Get the x64 version here https://www.7-zip.org/
2. DXVK - You might know this from Proton (hehe). I used Version 1.10.3. The file is called dxvk-1.10.3.tar.gz - Get it here https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases
Instructions;
1. Install 7zip.
2. Using 7zip, extract dxvk-1.10.3.tar.gz - You need to do this twice to fully unpack it.
3. Copy all the extracted files in the x64 folder (d3d9.dll, d3d10.dll, d3d10_1.dll, d3d10core.dll, d3d11.dll and dxgi.dll). I don't think you actually need all of them, but, this is how I got it to work.
4. Paste these files into your Injustice 2.exe folder. The folder location;
SteamLibrary/SteamApps/Common/Injustice2/Binaries/Retail
5. Press Play!
If you get the controller bug, where you can only move down the menu and in-game you keep jumping to the left, then, try this;
Go to your Windows user folder and open the file: AppData\Injustice2\UserSettings.ini
Where it says DirectInput=On change it to off. Save the file and PLAY!
I tested this game on an external hard drive, it runs well, but, you will get faster loading times and possibly less stutters running on SSD.
Note: This game will also use your desktop graphics settings, so you might need to set it up to suit your Steam Deck. I also haven't explored a way to see the frame-rate, but, Steam's built-in frame-rate counter doesn't work.
