    Ended up here from Google after receiving the same issue around 5 times and was about to put down the game for good. Game would randomly just display a black screen and music would be playing still. No menus would work a...

    @simifor That's correct. I also tried the `PROTON_USE_WOW64=1 %command%` launch option, and that might solve this issue. I was able to play for 90 minutes all the way through to the ending without encountering this crash...

    @TraceBullet just to make sure I have details clear, on the previous stable bracnh (3.7.x) the game was working seemingly fine, right? And what looked like a reboot, was that around 7:20pm? the logs show that gamescope c...

    @simifor Just ran into the issue again on the latest Steam Deck Stable/Proton Experimental updates. Was running around Ultimecia Castle for about 30 minutes and the game crashed when I unlocked the Treasure Vault door wh...

    @TraceBullet haven't had luck reproducing again on beta/experimental, but given that both are moving targets, there's a chance the issue was resolved by an update. Now that steamos beta made its way to stable, and assumi...

    @simifor I don't remember if the game crashed after the black screen. I just closed the game soon after since it was unresponsive. I did switch my Steam Deck from the Beta system update channel to Stable and kept using P...
