Game won't start, black screen with number in top right with music - Steam Dexk

Hello, I just got the game and it won’t boot. It is stuck when I load the game with a black screen and a number in the top right corner and there is music playing. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling multiple times. I tried forcing compatibility with proton 10 and experimental. I tried just waiting, I let it wait on this screen for 1 hour and nothing happened. This is very frustrating.

I tried deleting the compat data folder and restarting. I tried using Proton GE Latest (which at the time is 10-29 I think). I disabled cloud uploads as well.

Check out the fixes mentioned in this post. Please make sure to share, if something works.

Thanks, I already read through that whole thread and tried all the fixes suggested and none of them worked… which is why I posted a new thread.

@Korber710 Did you restart SteamDeck after each Proton version change?

Yes, just tried that and same result. I also just uninstalled, deleted compat and game data off the SSD and then rebooted and reinstalled the game. Now it seems to finally boot.

Those also work for Steam Deckers?

Thanks for adding that. I hope this hiccup didn’t sour your experience to much, may everything go smooth from here on out :slight_smile:

I don’t know for sure, but as the post was (I can’t open nor find it anymore) about Linux, which the SteamOS is based on, I thought he should at least give it a try.
