When I double click the game icon in the EA library to launch the game I hear a sound from and after a few moments I get a message that reads: “An error occurred while launching this game: app running.”

- Hey! I had this issue too. If you’re comfortable with it try switching to the beta channel for the steam deck. It booted up in deck mode no issues with no force compatibility! I really hope this works for you!
Thanks.
Today there was an ME update. Now the game is working in stable channel.
