Symptoms

After running the game (seemingly successfully) on my initial try, rather than immediately playing the game I went into the options menu, changing the game's renderer from DX11 to Vulkan. I also enabled AMD's FSR technology, just to see if it would work. I was prompted to restart the game. Upon doing so, the game no-longer reaches the main menu, rather crashing on the initial loading screen with a zombie's face.

Reproduction

This crash happens at the same spot, every time I've tried re-running the game, without fail. I've uninstalled, re-installed, deleted "WWZ"-related directories, etc. The game still crashes at the initial loading screen with a zombie's face.

Hello everyone. Want to report that after the game's latest update (on the 23rd), the game seems to run perfectly fine now. Going to close this issue. Thanks for everyone's help.

Vulkan backend seems broken on the steam deck.
