Connection issues

[vernal summit]

After trying all the possible fixes I am still unfortunately stuck with the connection loop X')

I Have, in this order:
Restarted the game
Restarted steam
restarted my computer
validated the files
run the EAC loggin File
Run the uninstall/Reinstall EAC files
Uninstalled the game
Validated the files again
uninstalled, Restarted steam, my pc, and then reinstalled
Tried stealing the EAC files from a different game, which has worked for the Isle
Uninstalled and Cleared Steam Cache
I'm convinced I'm never allowed to play the game again at this point 😭

Give a look for the file this one tells you to delete, if youve reinstalled it shouldnt be there, but if it is itll muck up your ability to connect on any platform (not just steamdeck) #support-docs message

Do you have Epic Games store installed on your computer? Try closing that or logging out/in there before launching the game via steam if Gremlin's suggestions don't help

I did that one too but didn't include it cause the file didn't exist X')

I do, but it's not launched (or open in the background, as steam does)- I'll open it and see

Unfortunately neither worked. This is my files list

Try checking over your firewall settings?

Update: I came back after a couple days of being too busy to sit down and it launched without issue. No idea why 😭
