SteamDeck - Issues starting a new world
!!STEAMDECK USER HERE!!
Heya, so I only just installed the SMM a bit ago, and I'm only able to load worlds, can't open new ones.
What I mean by this, is I cannot interact with anything in the "New World" Tab. the same thing is applied with any tabs SMM directly adds or changes. I've tried to look for help, but so far I've gotten nowhere (hell, I've even tried earlier proton editions with little result.)

I know the game effectively has a controller mode and a gamepad mode and doesn't switch between them as easily as some people like but I haven't actually tried controller support myself. If you can manage to change it into keyboard and mouse mode I suspect that will let you start a new world, then you should be free to switch back to gamepad mode

Does interacting by tapping on the screen work? Controller support is very new to the game and hasn't really been added in the modding community at large yet
No, it's like interaction is dead.
Trying now I notice I can't even press on load or any tabs
Only the sticks chane

Ofc that does it
Thanks mate
Annoying that it doesn't work with SMM right now
Though
SteamDeck users reading this: TLDR, In options under controls, change Controller mode to Mouse and Keyboard. then, before starting the new world, ensure you bind a button to the ESC Key on the keyboard.
