Steam Deck: shader error on startup after doing ED installation guide

[smhbolas]

I've followed ED's oficial guide for the installation on the Steam Deck. Added the d3d winetricks dlls, the launch command, used the recommended GE Proton 7.30 (tried new ones aswell) but i still get the shader compiler error at launch.

I've attached the dcs.log to this post. Please help, i have the game running on my rig, have bought the F5E and A10C modules and i want to be able to fly on the go, as i spend a lot of time away from my rig.

Something bas happens here:

Chances are it happens because DCS does not detect any compatible GPU:

please attach your dxdiag log (how to make one).

How do I make a dxdiag log on SteamOS?

Hmm, you're right, you can't. Sorry, I thought I read "Stream deck". How could Valve use such a similar name without being sued?

You should open a support ticket. Log into DCS website, click "Support", then click "Create a new ticket".

I am having the same issue as this. My log errors are pretty much identical. This has only started occurring since the recent update.
