Steam deck players, how did you get your game to run? My game keeps crashing on the steam deck, no matter what I do. The farthest I've gotten was about 5 minutes into the game, then either the game crashes or the console just shuts down. It keeps throwing DirectX error on crash. I've reinstalled, verified game files, even factory reset the console.

Try proton experimental (manage game sub menu in steam).

I’ve only played the release version on Linux, and it’s been running great. Maybe try Vulkan instead of directx, as well.

As for performance, I set the frame rate cap to 30 on my deck and left everything else at default. I’m also running off an sd card

I did try proton experimental, still crash. The game launcher does show on my deck, it goes straight to the game so I can't choose vulkan
