This game had been running flawlessly with no issues on steam deck from a couple days after launch until last night. Then this update was released. I currently have not gotten this game to even launch since downloading this update. This was shaping up to be my favorite game and now I can’t even play it. If anyone knows a work around please help me. EA is ignoring my support cases (I submitted one for a different reason over a week ago and have gotten absolutely no communication as well as one today about this). I hope the community can help me out. Thank you all

Hey @MrFunBeard,Battlefield 2042 has no official support for the Steam Deck and therefore we can't guarantee its compatibility or stability on the system.

I must suck at these forums. I wrote this for EA PGA Tour. I was in a forum post for that game and hit add new and somehow I guess posted for battlefield? My bad. Not sure if you can help with the PGA tour game or not,

@MrFunBeard, oh, alright! No worries.The same thing counts for EA SPORTS™ PGA TOUR™, though. 😅It has no official support for the Steam Deck and therefore we can't guarantee its compatibility or stability on the system.

Understood. I appreciate that response. The compatibility checkmark saying it will work and placement in the “recommended for steam deck” section in the steam store is all valve and not at all dictated by EA? If that’s the case I’ll reach out to valve and ask for their help trying to get it to work and hope they will take down the misleading claims of compatibility from the store

@EA_Leeuw Too bad. I was about to purchase PGA Tour to play on my Steam Deck. Now I can't even play Madden. EA losing money by not making sure their games work on the Deck.

There is a work around on the steam deck for it. If you message me on steam (same name) I’ll send it to you but I’m not going to do EA’s job for them as they can’t even do the bare minimum for their customers

@MrFunBeard, Steam (Valve) does those checks themselves indeed, we don't. If a developer adds full Steam Deck compatibility themselves, I believe it is specifically stated.

More information about Steam Deck compatibility can be found here as well: https://www.steamdeck.com/en/verified.

Hope this helps.

Have read somewhere that the game doesn't work with Proton 8. Am using Proton 7.55 and Cryoutilities and game works fine on Steam deck

Since the major update for EA Sports PGA Tour the Steam Deck version no longer works. It looks like an EA login issue as it brings up the EA login once and then again and the app dies. Please put an update out to fix this issue. Thank you.

@blonghen Nope,it works here OK. Are you using Proton 8, ditch it for v7.55 if you are. Have read that Proton 8 and Proton experimental have caused issues.
