I’ve been trying everything too! YouTube videos and Reddit but still doesn’t work :(
I guess we might just have to wait it out! I will play online with my pc for now but I wanna be lazy and play from my bed haha

I thought I was going crazy, but I'm having the exact same issue on my Steam Deck after updating to 3.7.1 two days ago. There was a second version that released same day that I think did it.

My wife's Steam Deck is NOT on the hot fix that was pushed and is not having the issue. Here's hoping a new Steam Deck update gets pushed to address it.

Edit to add: this is only for the Linux version of the game. If you force a Proton (Windows) it still works. You can try that to start playing again at least.
