🚨 IMPORTANT steam deck players 🚨

If you are playing on Steam Deck I have been getting reports that the game often crashes on start up. To fix this make sure to update your compatibility settings to force the use of Proton 9.0-4 since Experimental is currently not working with this game.

If you're not sure how to do that, follow these steps:

1. Open the game's library page that has the big play button on the left.

2. On the right side look for a gear icon. Press it and in the resulting menu select Properties.

3. Now select Compatibility from the left side menu.

4. Check the box to Force the use of a specific Steam compatibility tool

5. From the dropdown, select Proton 9.0-4

6. If it doesn't work still, restart your Steam Deck and check this setting again to see if it flipped to Proton Hotfix. Set it to 9.0-4 again.
