It looks like you booted the linux port, try switching the compatibility to Proton.
Tested to change to Proton Experimental quickly. The initial load period was nowhere to be seen, and loading the initial save took ~1 minute. Not bad! Definitely more playable than before!
I was recently playing the DXMD Linux port as well - on my Linux laptop, not the Deck, but I had the same experience with the long first load. However, after that, it was smoother but it did have weird random lags/stutter.... which isnt ideal.
And someone here (might have been Mivey, I think?) once stated that maybe one day there'd just be one (windows) build and Proton would do the rest. I think thats very possible.
That is to be expected, most big games work best in the 30-40 fps range.60 fps unattainable though...
Playing emulators, old PC games and VNs have certainly colored my Deck experience...
Valve never sold the Steam Deck as a 60 FPS machine. 720p at 30 FPS was the pitch, and we see the Deck manage that even when running PS5 games. Admittedly, this one just a nicer port of a PS4 title. I'm looking forward to see if true next gen only titles are still playable at 30 FPS on the Steam Deck.60 fps unattainable though...
And at least 80% of the new games as well. I've mostly played indie games made in the past 3 years on the Deck, and the vast majority of them can run at 60 FPS (though for some, especially the less action-focused ones, I usually go with 45Hz).
A nice feature for Valve to add. It's things like this why calling the Steam Deck a console is doing it a disservice. Consoles lock you in and take options away from you. The Steam Deck is a portable PC that is as open as it can be and actively tries to be as transparent about everything.
Console like experience, without any of the drawbacks.
huh, Plague Tale 2 didnt even start on my Deck. Thought I'd wait for some Proton patches before I try it again (runs fine on my Linux laptop though)
The GabeBoy 2 will make short work of it.huh, Plague Tale 2 didnt even start on my Deck. Thought I'd wait for some Proton patches before I try it again (runs fine on my Linux laptop though)

UE5: Epics secret weapon against the Steam Deck: just make the engine demanding as hell and the Deck wont play those UE5 games. Combine it with Epic pushing UE to absolutely every gamedev until it becomes the only engine in existance, and Tim will get finally his revenge on Valve for releasing an amazing handheld
I finished Plague Tale last night and some of the final sections have so many rats on screen that I was impressed the Series X could run it at 30 FPS.

You have to start the game, this way steam will ask you which save you want to keep on the Cloud. After that It should "fix" the Sync error
Manually getting into offline mode is pretty OK by now. when travelling on a train for a couple hours, it was pretty reliable that way.
Several games are stuck in launching fase and thus I dont get that screen. I have deleted proton prefixes, pressed some buttons in the UI, removed save games, reinstalled. Launched through desktop mode and still a no go. Maybe things will get resolved once I am back home at my Linux box.
What if you right click the Vampire Survivors in the Steam Library, go to properties and untick the box saying something about keeping the saves in the cloud? If you have the latest saves localy then maybe this will atleast allow you to play the game.
The problem is since I had to factory reset my deck, which means the saves only exist in the cloud. I really don’t want to lose them!
Try contacting Steam Support. Maybe you found new bug or something.The problem is since I had to factory reset my deck, which means the saves only exist in the cloud. I really don’t want to lose them!
can you download them manually from here? Steam CloudThe problem is since I had to factory reset my deck, which means the saves only exist in the cloud. I really don’t want to lose them!
Pinging Le Pertti because he had an issue with Cloud Saves recently.
