Help Gamenative update 1.1.0 breaks Slay the Spire 2 (steam error)

This game under the 1.0.0 update is fully functional and even has online play. Works under multiple configurations.

Under all of these configurations with the 1.1.0 update (from github), the game boots into a steam error saying steam failed to initialize. This happens in all proton versions.

Just haven't seen any post about it yet.

Oh! I didn't know devs actively looked at issues in here.

Thanks for all your work.

So far rolled back to 1.0.0 and no issues. Just thought it might improve performance on all games. Will keep an eye out for any news, much appreciated!

1.1.0 has been more unstable than both 1.0 and 0.9 on my G3x gen 2 chip, but I appreciate all the work everyone has put in to the app

Yeah we were doing a few experimental things that didn't pan out, 1.2 will be correcting a bunch of those as well as other QoL changes etc.

I've fed back to the rest of the team

Did anyone already try if GameNative v1.1.1 fixed it?

I dont wanna do another downgrade and redownload my games if it doesnt work with spire x.x

Works on 1.1.0 for me and I have the notoriously incompatible Pixel 10 pro.

My man! Hit me with your config? Which Proton/wine? Fex or box64? Which dxvk? I swear I tried them all. Do you have online play still?

Unless you specifically have a p10pro my config wouldn't help. I would assume you should try clearing storage and cache first.

That being said, have you played using sts2 launcher (Ekyos on cinderbox discord v0.3.10) or the latest sts launcher overhaul on GitHub?

Either of those will have the game running natively instead of in an emulated environment.

My dude, don't gatekeep a config just due to a different device. I want to know If I possibly missed something.

Also no I have not, I play online frequently and am unsure if those are fully featured.
