Grabbed this on sale – anyone had success running this on Steam Deck?

I seem to be get a Microsoft Studios splash screen and then the screen goes blank and eventually self restarts.

Have tried a couple compatibility modes with no real progress.

    Don’t have it, but after looking online, my first suggestion would be to go into desktop mode and then try starting the game from there to see what happens.

    Seems people mention that you need to log into your Microsoft account for it and it can be saved/set to offline from there. I’ve had other games crash/hang like this because it tried to opening another window/browser window but it couldn’t do it correctly in normal Steam Deck mode, but could in desktop mode. If this is it, it’s typically a set it up once in desktop mode and will work in normal mode from there on.

      Thanks.

      Switching to Desktop mode did allow me to iterate more quickly since a crash wouldn’t lock and restart things.

      I seem to have had some success after switching from the Beta to Stable Steam release.

        Betas are unstable. Don’t use them if you don’t know what you’re doing.
