    Nailed it!

    • First I looked into /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1328670/pfx/drive_c/ProgramData/EA Desktop/Logs/EADesktop.log
    • I found there is an error message just before downloading files that points to invalid telemetry request lock
    • Then in the file /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1328670/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Electrinic Arts/EA Desktop/user_xxxxxxxxxx.ini I added following lines:
      • user.telemetry.optionaloptout=1
      • user.igoenabled=0
    • Launching still failed.
    • I fully reboot the Steamdeck
    • Launching still failed, but this time in logs there was invalid lock for IP given
    • I setup new Wi-Fi shared from mobile phone to get a new IP address and connected SteamDeck through it
    • And, 5 days, later, I was able to sync my saves!

    Seriously, guys, if I wasn't in the industry myself I would gave up long ago. Where were your support for the past 5 days? xD
