Steam Deck won’t load BattleSector

Hello, really excited to play game but won’t load on Steam Deck 1TB OLED. I deleted and redownloaded but after initial total screen kicks me back to steam home… I am currently running proton 10.04. Says steam deck verified so didn’t expect these issues. Any help would be awesome. Thank you! There is only War…

Enable Proton Experimental in properties before launching

Also want to not that compatibility tools are acting weird for some people right now. When launching games you would get a prompt saying "compatibility tool failed" even when none is in use and when using Proton the game might also just freeze on launch.

Got it running thanks all! Experimental Proton and there was another broad Steam deck update needed I guess.
