"Elden Ring Bug Renders Game Unplayable on Steam Deck"

A bug in Elden Ring's latest patch 1.12 can make the game inoperable on the Steam Deck if left inactive for more than five minutes, potentially leading to save data corruption. FromSoftware is working on a hotfix, but it won't be available in time for the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion release on June 21, 2024. Players are advised to avoid leaving the game idle to prevent issues.
