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.

I’ve been playing on the Steam Deck with almost no issue, though it is a bit different from the PC environment. I actually just yesterday played on my PC after having strictly played on my Deck since release and it felt way different. I’d gotten so used to Deck controls that I’m having to relearn everything. Having a mouse to point out everything makes it easier to misclick on everything.

The one issue that came up is that now my Cloud Sync won’t load on the Deck after having played on the PC. I had turned off Cross-Saves bc I didn’t think I needed it and it slowed everything down (I assumed it was PC-to-console), but I may have turn it back on. Otherwise I may have to only play on PC now. :(

I have crosssave issues too. Seems like it can be resolved by turning it on in the startup menu, letting both systems sync, and then restarting. Kinda goofy, seems like the steam cloud stuff ought to take care of it

I was messing around with that last night but couldn’t get it to work. My latest saves seem stuck on my PC now, as my PC gives the error that it can’t upload saves to Steam Cloud, even though Criss-save in game is apparently synced up. I’m sure the pulled update didn’t help matters, but the whole thing is super annoying.
