So, for whatever reason, Emulation Station stopped loading on my #SteamDeck
I did just about EVERYTHING under the sun.
Restarted the Deck
Updated the Deck
Updated Emulation Station
Reinstalled Emulation Station
Messed about with all different kinds of settings.
Changed the boot target
Went through EmuDeck to completely rebuild the front end and Emulator settings.
Turns out... It would seem. That the default Compatibility mode that had been working since I first started using Emulation Station decided it wasn't going to work anymore...
Changing the Compatibility from Default to Proton Stable seemed to fix it.
This took me about 2 hours to "fix"

@ishambard@cupoftea.social That can be so frustrating. I have had similar things happen and every time I have to remind myself that I should expect these things because the Steam Deck is a computer... not a game system... Even though it REALLY looks like a game system. ๐ I'm sorry you had to waste 2 hours but I'm glad you found a fix. ๐
