Help with Minecraft Bedrock Issues on Steam Deck

-

Hey everyone! I’m pretty new to using my Steam Deck, so I hope I’m not asking something that’s already been discussed. I had been playing Minecraft Bedrock with the unofficial Nix launcher, and it was working really well until the recent update. Now, whenever I try to launch the game in gaming mode, it keeps sending me back to the launch page. Strangely, it works perfectly fine when I open it in desktop mode, but I can’t play with the Deck controls that way. Has anyone else faced this issue and found a way to fix it, or should I just wait for the developers to sort it out? I’d appreciate any tips!

Hey! I’ve been dealing with the same problem. It’s super frustrating, especially since I want to play with my friends on Realms. Right now, I have to switch to desktop mode just to start the game and calibrate my controller properly. Not ideal!
