Steamdeck loading screen issue

[Kayndorlek-burning-blade]

Dear all!

I bought a Steamdeck to play WoW Retail.
Playing through Steam OS with Proton GE 7-31

I have issues with Instanced pvp loading screen. Everytime I enter Bg/skirm arena my loading screen stucks at 70% or 100% and if I close game and restart I am in the open world again.

Teleporting in the open world Loading screens works just fine.

I’ve tried the followings:

• Updated Steamdeck drivers /Steam OS
• Updated GE-proton to latest version
• Scan/Repaired WoW files through Bnet
• Turned off all addons
• Manually renamed Interface/Cache/WTF to InterfaceOld/CacheOld/WTFOld
• Reinstalled the whole Game

Still having the same issue with any of my characters.
Can it be a WoW file/setting related problem or rather a Steamdeck Proton like problem?

Thank you in advance for any suggestion.
Kayn

I gave up playing with steamOS, installed Windows on it (it’s very easy) and been enjoying WoW ever since. If you gonna play just WoW, I recommend you go that way as well.

Hi Kayndorlek! It is to be taken into consideration that steamOS is a Linux based distribution which would place it as an unsupported operating system for the game.

You can try to make the game work on it, it is definitely up to you if you want to do that, but bear in mind that you are bound to end up having a whole host of issues you would have to find a workaround to.
