hmm, it's working for me on my steam deck in both desktop and normal modes

#

does it work in normal mode for you?

uncut basalt
#

lemme try real quick

#

Aight, normal mode works

#

I think if i switch to desktop now, that it'll work too

#

Hang on...

#

ok, so it keeps crashing in desktop mode

#

with and without a dock / monitor connected to it

shrewd river
#

huh, very strange

#

i guess try validating local files? though if it works in gaming mode i doubt it will help

uncut basalt
#

but in "deck" mode it's all ok (even with dock and monitor)

shrewd river
#

probably also worth checking for updates or trying a different proton version

uncut basalt
#

will try

Full game crash on Steam Deck (IN DESKTOP MODE)

#

Verified files: FAIL
Proton Experimental: FAIL
Proton 7.0: FAIL
Proton 6.3-8: FAIL

#

Severity of the ticket can be lowered since there's a workaround available

#

updated post with WO for other people who have this problem

#

When running in DEV mode it crashes at "BuildInShips" step of loading

#

dm or ping me if you need any further testing!
And thanks for the assistance and ofc the great game ๐Ÿ™‚

I tried different resolutions just in case i even set my other monitor to the native resolution of the deck (1280x800)

#

still results in a crash

#

ive been looking at the log some more

#

appears that "C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\wminet_utils.dll" inside the compatdata folder is missing

shrewd river
#

I believe that wminet_utils.dll being missing is harmless. The only thing Cosmoteer uses that for is getting your system specs to log them in the log file.

I just bought the game today and have the exact same issue, tried some different proton versions with no success.

very strange

#

sounds like a proton bug

#

since it otherwise works fine on steam deck, this isn't a high priority for me to look into, sorry

#

those errors are normal on Linux and harmless

Hey ! Just retried to launch the game in Desktop mode this morning after the small updates of yesterday, and it works perfectly ! ๐Ÿ˜„

@shrewd river Sorry for the ping, but same here. Just started it up just now, works perfectly in desktop mode, this post can be closed.
Thanks! ๐Ÿ™‚

Glad to hear, but I have no idea why. I did not knowingly fix anything on my end. Did Steam Deck get an update?
