I have installed Factorio on Steam Deck after the 2.0 and Space Age release and tried launching it with both Proton 9.0-3 and Proton Experimental.
Launching with 9.0-3 leads to this error immediately:
Launching with Experimental leads to the game loading to 50% and then crashing with the following:
Please forgive me for the photos instead of screenshots. I have attached the logs (previous – Experimental, current – 9.0-3).
This happened first on 24th, so I guess it started even before 2.0.11. Obviously, I expected the game to launch at all.
I have verified the game files' integrity and reinstalled it, but to no avail.
The game worked fine before 2.0, but the last time I've launched it was sometime in March.

Do not use Proton. Switch it off. Proton is a compatibility layer for running Windows games on Linux. Factorio has a native Linux version. Frankly I don't understand why Steam even tries to use it for Factorio, might have to get in touch with Valve about that.

Thank you, frankly I didn't know about launching games on Deck without Proton before. It now launches fine!
