War Thunder crashing on Steam Deck: How to fix it

Since there’s no official fix for this issue, players will need to use the following workarounds for now. So, try these, and don’t skip them unless you have used a method before.

Disable Proton –

For some players, disabling Proton was what helped them deal with this issue, so you can give this a try. You can do this by going into the game’s Properties menu via Steam Library, and then selecting the Compatibility tab. Here, uncheck the Force Proton Use option.

Update –

Players should make sure that they are running the latest version of SteamOS. Moreover, you should also see to it that the game is updated to the latest version. Now, if you’ve already done both of these and are still experiencing crash issues, switch to another workaround.

Verify game files –

The game crashing on your Steam Deck could also be a result of it having some missing or corrupted files. So, what we recommend you do is repair the game’s files. To do that, you need to select War Thunder in your Steam library and click on the Menu button. Next, select Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files.

Launch the game in a different mode –

Players can also try launching the game from the two available modes – Gaming Mode, and Desktop Mode. This is quite a common workaround for dealing with a lot of crash-related issues on the Deck, so give it a try and see if it helps.

Reinstall –

If you are still unable to resolve this issue, we highly recommend that you try to reinstall the game. So, go ahead and uninstall War Thunder from the Deck. Once that’s done, redownload and launch it after the installation is complete. If it still crashes, you should try contacting support.

And that’s all the information we have on this issue. Additionally, if you are facing the same kind of issue with Tekken 7, take a look at this. Lastly, for more such content, keep following DigiStatement. Also read: Football Manager 2023 Crashing on Steam Deck: How to fix it?
