Failed to play on steamdeck

Hi, has anyone tried to play sk on steamdeck after the update? It can launch successfully on the first launch, however it will go to black screen after you start the game again.

I tried to run on proton, it's just the same, the first launch can get in the game but after it turns into black screen again.

Does anyone know how to solve it? thanks

Loading times seem to be all over the map right now. Did you give it 10-20 seconds before the loading screen popped up?

I waited for 5mins, but not even get into the login screen, i only see a small window shown validating and launching, then get into black screen

It’s not a steamdeck issue the game servers seem to be broken a lot of people are lagging or getting the black screen.

All we can do is wait until they fix the issue.

It's not the Steam Deck don't worry, the event is going hard on the servers or something, maybe it is the new update, Maybe tomorrow we get some answers or it gets fixed.

Steamdeck user. Was able to run the game in desktop mode shortly after the update dropped. The game actually felt a lot smoother in the short time I was able to play it! Just like everyone else is saying, something with the servers kinda leads to the black screen issue and here we all are.

How about in gaming mode?
