I was actually playing it today. There are two things you have to do.

1. Make sure the game is running in Proton 7.0. Right-click the game in your library > Properties > Compatibility > tick the "Force the use of..." box > pick Proton 7.0 in the dropdown menu. (You might be using 7.0 already, but just to be sure.)

2. In the properties window, click on the General tab and paste this in the launch options box.


The game runs and it runs great. I can't take credit for this fix. Thank the people over at Proton's GItHub issues page.

thanks a lot, this helped me to start the game.

did you change something in the controller layout? i can run with the left stick but i cant do other thinks like jumping. it looks like none of the buttons are working. at the beginning in the first stage when you have to jump it shows the keyboard button S, so im wondering if i have to change something so it works for the deck?

Sounds like the game is having trouble detecting other input methods. Weird, because I haven't seen other players on the Deck with this issue. I would try binding the gamepad buttons to their keyboard/mouse equivalents as a workaround. I don't own a Deck so I don't know what the process is like, but I know it's possible.

This worked great for me. I just bound the Deck Keys direct in the game settings and now its all fine :-)
