SteamDeck=1 %command%
I need to restart my Pc every ~4 rounds because the game and pc freeze while sound continues to play. Maybe related to a memory leak.
Multiplayer itself works without issues however the game freezes my pc after ~4 rounds
Works flawlessly except for the occasional shader cache problem (might be an issue on Windows too).
SteamDeck=1 RADV_PERFTEST="dccmsaa,sam,nircache,transfer_queue" gamemoderun %command%
Seems that the game likes to mess up its shader cache once in a while, tanking FPS regardless of settings. Once that happens, deleting ~/.cache/mesa_shader_cache
and ~/.cache/mesa_shader_cache_db
fixes it for me.
SteamDeck=1
skips the launcher, but the game work fine regardless. Might want to skip RADV_PERFTEST
, as it's Mesa version and GPU-specific.
unset LD_PRELOAD; %command%
Occasional stuttering, had to drop all graphics to low to obtain stable FPS
Some rare crashes due to unknown cause, some were caused by Nvidia Reflex
SteamDeck=1 %command%
Crashes without SteamDeck=1, Proton-GE needed for cutscenes to work
Proton Experimental: The game works out of the box using. The only things not working are the initial intros and main menu background. This does not impact gameplay or game functionality. Proton GE: This brings back the intros and main menu background but introduces crashes. Using Proton GE the game would crash on a certain map named "Tokyo 2099 Spider-Islands" and at the same time crash the entire system ending in a restart. Looking at other reports, many users seem to have crashes using Proton GE and perhaps on more maps than the one I mentioned. I recommend using Proton Experimental for a smoother experience at the minimal loss of the intros and main menu background.
SteamDeck=1 LD_PRELOAD="" %command%
Game crashes once every few hours, requiring PC restart
force_vk_vendor=-1 gamemoderun %command% -dx12 -ngxdisableota
LD_PRELOAD="" gamemoderun %command%
gamemoderun mangohud %command% -dx12
Don't use Nvidia Reflex, the game will crash every time you launch it after you enable it. With clearing your config being the only way to fix it.
game works fine, used experimental and that's all.
20250122 Patch borked the game :( Able to open the main menu but breaks on loading menus and matches.
Using experimental resulted in a mostly black screen - UI elements like the HUD and menu options were visible, but the opening cutscene and background to the main landing page were solid black. Switching to GE-Proton9-23 worked flawlessly.
SteamDeck=1 LD_PRELOAD="" DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650" force_vk_vendor=-1 gamemoderun %command% -dx12 -ngxdisableota
The game is really enjoyable and hope the developers dont lash out on kernel level anti cheat and let us go
SteamDeck=1 %command%
As of writting this, the game works flawlessly. All problems have been resolved in the most recent update.
gamemoderun mangohud %command%
Without Proton GE there are a lot of black screens
Those little animations that play pre and post match are missing, good riddance imo
Crashes after attempting to load into match
After season 1 update I have been unable to play a match due to the game crashing when loading into a match.
SteamDeck=1 %command%
If you're getting black screens, switch to Proton-GE. If the game is crashing randomly or when showing the Marvel logo during startup, disable NVIDIA Reflex.
No longer need any launch options. The last Proton Experiemental update fixed the issue and it just works now.
SteamDeck=1 %command%
Nvidia Reflex causes game to not boot
LD_PRELOAD="" gamemoderun %command%
Regular crashes with Nvidia Reflex, solved by setting it off.
Able to run without adding SteamDeck=1 since the last update.
SteamDeck=1 game-performance %command%
SteamDeck=1 %command%
Game crashes the system randomly
SteamDeck=1 command is mandatory to open the game
SteamDeck=1 LD_PRELOAD="" gamemoderun %command%
Random Brightness Flickering, exact cause unkown.
Launch Arguments nescessary for Desktop Linux.
gamemoderun %command%
Sometimes it freezes on the hero selection menu at the start of a match, or causes the whole PC to restart while the game is idle in the background for a while.
steamdeck=1
If you're getting crashes: TURN OFF LOW LATENCY INPUTS If you're getting black screens you need to use GE-Proton9-22
LD_PRELOAD="" SteamDeck=1 %command%
Turn off low-latency Nvidia Flex
Game runs flawlessly, on performance settings I'm sitting at 144fps
SteamDeck=1 gamemoderun mangohud %command%
Must be ran with the SteamDeck option. Also, do NOT enable Nvidia reflex. If you do the game will freeze when you boot it up and you will have to re-install to reset that setting and get the game working again. Happened to me and will never do that again.
If you enable Nvidia reflex, the game will launch and freeze right now. The only way I was able to fix it was to re-install the game. I haven't had any other crashes/freezes besides that.
The performance feels worse compared to when I played it on Windows for some reason. GPU is maxed while playing so I could be misremembering.
Nvidia low latency setting makes it so that game crashes frequently
Just use proton experimental and turn off Nvidia low latency setting, otherwise its crashes frequently
Borked on my System
SteamDeck=1 %command%
Game launched without issue for weeks but as of yesterday, I tried Proton Experimental, GE-Proton9-21, 22 and 23 and the game will typically make it through processing shaders but then freezes on either a black screen or the Marvel Games logo.
No longer working
SteamDeck=1 %command%
I tried GE Proton 9-21, 9-22 and 9-23, along with Experimental, with and without launch options and the game either doesn't load at all, loads to a black screen and locks up or makes it to the Marvel Games logo and freezes. Disappointing because I've been playing for weeks without issues.
gamemoderun %command%
Runs pretty perfect compared to windows, disabling NVIDIA Reflex fixed every crash issue for me.
SteamDeck=1 %command%
The game will crash signficantly more often than it should, this was fixed by me disabling NVIDIA Reflex and DLSS. Have never crashed since.
SteamDeck=1 %command% -ngxdisableota
after switching to experimental and removing SteamDeck=1, the game won't launch. no error appears; it just shows the play button again
before season 1, i was playing without any issues. however, after the update, i started getting the crash error that everyone experienced. when i added SteamDeck=1, the game worked, but loading times were very long. i saw reviews mentioning that switching to proton experimental fixed the issue, so i removed the SteamDeck=1 command and set proton to experimental. however, now when i click play on steam, the game doesn’t launch. i don’t get any error messages; it just goes back to showing the play button after a few seconds.
Playable and all. Slightly annoying for the crashes. In ~5 hours, it crashes once or twice.
SteamDeck=1 %command%
Once in a while it crashes in-game, and it's pretty annoying especially if you're in a comp. Also, disable gpu-screen-recorder, that makes it crash even more frequently
After activating proron sperimental and set in the setting window screen, it works like a charm for hours without crashes
With fullscreen and windowless border it would occationally crash
No longer requires Steamdeck=1 after Proton Experimental update, but i had to disable Nvidia Reflex
I had to TURN OFF NVIDIA REFLEX otherwise i could only open the game but not actually load into a match
SteamDeck=1 %command%
YOU NEED to put SteamDeck=1 %command% in your launch options otherwise the anticheat will make it impossible to play the game
