Black screen on Linux/Steam Deck
Linux/Steam Deck show a black screen at launch, not displaying any loading animation or logo videos. Tested with DX11 and DX12 on Proton Experimental, 9 (Beta) and 8.
Forum Discussion
Of course, my bad. I browsed the community discussions on steam. The solution I used was
1. Go to your steam library (out of big picture mode) and make sure above the search bar where it says games also click on software so you can view proton experiemental.
2. Find proton experimental, right click on it, then click properties.
3. go to betas, change it from none to bleeding-edge latest and untested dxvk
4. Wait for the update for it to change, then go to apex, right click, and select properties.
5. Go to compatibility, and select Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool, then for the compatibility tool select proton experimental.
If it needs to update wait for it to update then play. That has worked for me. I have also heard that apparently proton hotfix has it fixed as well. Hope this helps!
I don't see anything on Apex Tracker | TRELLO.. does anyone know if respawn knows? If they are trying to solve?
Respawn is aware of the Linux issue:
Unsure if this also counts for the Steam Deck, but as SteamOS is linux-based, likely for it to be related.
