Linux Steam Deck Co-op Host Fail

[Shaybae]

Hi! I am hosting a co-op game on the Steam Deck. After the most recent update, every time I try to host, it’s suck on, “Connecting to online services.”

I’ve tried all the troubleshooting tactics:
-shutting down
-restarting
-unplugging my router
-unconnecting and reconnecting to the internet
-uninstalling and reinstalling Stardew valley

it’s been extremely frustrating. I ended up transferring my back up to my laptop but I’d prefer to play on my deck. Please help!!!

Update: I think I have found a solution!!! If you go to the games settings on your steam deck, then properties, I changed my compatibility to Proton 9.0-4. You must select, “Force the use of a specific Steam Play comparability tool” and it worked! I hope this is a long term solution and it works for you too

I am having the same issue. I thought it was because I just downloaded Smapi to use UI Info suite 2 mod. But now after seeing a few more people with issues I don't think this error was due to the mod. Tonight I have factory reset my steam deck. The issue is still persisting even after a reset.

Hi, my partner just starting having this problem yesterday.

She done the same as you,

-shutting down
-restarting
-unplugging my router
-unconnecting and reconnecting to the internet
-uninstalling and reinstalling Stardew valley

as well as,
-verifying file integrity
-logging in and out of steam

She remebers there was a Steamdeck update and this just happened. No other of our coop games have been affected, its just Stardew and she gets stuck at the same “Connecting to online services." screen. But can play singleplayer.

Sorry I have no solution but adding this post to help get more attention.

Hello, Same issue here.

My partner is running a Steamdeck, and notes that the “Connecting to online services." message was showing in the Co-op menu after Stardew updated. We attempted to do a system update to the Deck with no change.

we have also attempted
-restart of the deck.
-Toggling to desktop mode and launching Stardew in desktop

We did not attempt the other steps posted above, as they seemed to be of no use.

No resolution so far, hoping that they patch soon.
