    1. It’ll likely get fixed unless you did something funky to your steam deck that makes it a weird edge case
    2. Steam offers refunds

      Yeah, they must have done something because it fired right up for me. I’ve died 30 some times already in my first day (I like to touch things and I’m horrible at making save throws 🙃)

      What could I possibly have done to it, I only use it to play steam games, I bought this game, tried to launch it, and nothing.

      Just because you don’t experience an issue doesn’t mean it’s infallible and somebody else isn’t.

        What I’m saying is that unlike other PCs the steam deck has very few varying factors (out of the box). Meaning, if it works for others, it is likely it could work for you.

        I’m not saying anything or anyone is infallible. In fact, I just had a look at proton DB and there are certainly plenty other people with similar problems.

        These are good news because Larian has a reputation for supporting and improving their games long after release. These kinks will get ironed out.

        And again, if you don’t wish to be an early adopter (which is completely fine), refund it.

          Buying the game now is not being an early adopter, that’s what early access was which I didn’t purchase. Additionally, it’s fine for it to be fully released AND still not verified on deck or ready for it.

          This is also not the case. It is now in full release AND deck verified.

          Saying I should refund it if I don’t want to be an early adopter is a fallacy of the facts, and is blaming the consumer for the product being in a state lesser than advertised.

          I can’t understand how you can defend a game that has been in early access, is now in full release, and deck verified, having issues even LAUNCHING on deck. It shows an ignorance of facts and a bias view in favour of the “everything is fine, larian good” view.

            You do you, friend. I’m not trying to defend anything, just trying to help you out.

            If you want to go on a crusade against anti-consumer practices or whatever then requesting a refund seems like the first step.

            In short:

            🤷‍♂️

              No crusade at all, quite the dramatic description, just thought I’d clarify the difference between “early adopter” and “full price, full release, deck verified”
