Can't start FH5

Any estimate when ill be able to play the game since i cant even get past the loading screen on starting the game
Issue on xbox series S

I can’t make a new post but Linux is broken since the update too. Nobody with a Steam Deck has been able to figure out how to get past the initial splash screen since the update. Title image shows, game crashes. Very frustrating.

We just found a fix for it in Linux in the Steam Deck Discord!

When launching from Steam, use Properties (of game) > enable force launch to Proton Hotfix. Idk why it worked, I’ve been running it like that on Proton version GE-7-49 I think for about 10 months without issue until the last update. Proton Experimental didn’t help either.

With Proton Hotfix, the game launched with no problem!

I don’t own it, if you already have it it’s worth a shot but I’m doubtful. I think FM 2023 is requiring that Xbox Gaming Services are running the whole time you play, which we can’t do without Windows. Hopefully they’ll fix it soon themselves.
