Last update made Dead Island 2 unlaunchable in Steam Deck`s game mode
Been playing Dead Island 2 since it came free, on steam deck oled, since the last update, trying to launch the game on game mode just gives a black screen until the bottom bar appears to abort game. The game does seen to open on desktop mode (and still has my save data🙂 ) but that has the problems of controller setup for desktop mode, in any case, hope the team can shed a light on this.

do you have shader precaching enabled in Steam?

no

ok, did some testing:
- it seens that the shortcut added to steam fails to open the game now (before it would get stuck on the black loading screen)
- launching the HGL in game mode and then the game, does open the game. (before did the same as above)
it's still strange, never had to use the precache before and with any update before this one.

2.17 solidified making umu enabled by default (2.16 was supposed to, but there was a bug in the setting)

someone did say to try disable umu on my reddit post also.

that has its own set of playability issues. It's the first thing I ask people to enable when they ask for help, and it's usually the solution

ok managed to open from shortcut, i think while i was trying to get it to work i did also change the shortcut's compatibility to Proton GE too

oof, that wouldn't work

still , wondering if the pre-cache is the answer for this whole problem, its kinda annoying due the cache download and stuff (reason i disabled), but for now it's good that still opens
