Hotfix 6 is crashing significantly more than hotfix 5. I can only play about 15 minutes before a hard lock crash that forces me to restart the steamdeck. I am also currently getting a crash when trying to make a new realm.

Same experience here unfortunately. Turning off dynamic resolution seemed to help the situation temporarily, now it only crashed after about 40 minutes, but the fan was going 100% almost constantly (and it started producing some extra annoying rattling sound…)
When this happens in most games, it’s often due to a memory leak where memory fills up and crashes this system.
On the Steam Deck, you can usually remedy this by increasing the SwapSize; essentially making it take longer for memory to fill up. Sometimes that will be longer than your play session. I have my SwapSize set to 32GB (system default is 1GB); if you are using a a deck with a smaller SSD, you may not want to do this.
You can use a tool like Cryo Utilities to easily do it via a Graphical Interface. If you don’t want to use CryoUtils, you can probably just look up the command on google and do it via the Konsole yourself.
