  • Game Version: 20251111.8678.W

  • Platform: Steam- Steam OS/Deck

  • Mods: Never used

  • Hardware Specifications & Operating System: Steam Deck LCD - Steam OS

  • 7 nm AMD APU
    CPU: Zen 2 4c/8t, 2.4-3.5GHz (up to 448 GFlops FP32)
    GPU: 8 RDNA 2 CUs, 1.6GHz (1.6 TFlops FP32)
    APU power: 4-15W
    16 GB LPDDR5 on-board RAM (5500 MT/s quad 32-bit channels)

  • Issue Date: 8-11-2025 - Ongoing

  • Error Message: None

  • Details:
  • (Let me preface with the fact that I am aware the steam deck is on the lower end of specs for this game, but I have previously been able to get the game to run relatively well and wish to continue doing so.)
  • Game crashes upon trying to load save files or create new ones (regardless of city). It gets as far as the Canvas ads before doing so- crashing/exiting with no error message.
  • Create a Zoi and Build Mode seem to be working okay, the problem appears to be with Live Mode/the overworld.

Any advice would be appreciated.
