Just got the 0.5.18 update through the Discover app on Steam Deck. Everything works fine from the desktop, I can launch games through Steam in desktop mode. But switched to Game Mode and games do not launch, just get the Steam loading screen. I have to abort the game.

I am having a similar issue in game mode (not in desktop mode) since updating to Lutris 0.5.18 and using the newly introduced ge-proton as the Wine runner.
I can hear the game audio in the background, so the game is running… but the Steam loading screen with the spinning circle just doesn’t go away so I can’t actually see or play the game.
If I change the Wine runner back to lutris-7.2-2 or wine-ge-8-26, then this doesn’t happen and the game runs fine so it appears to be possibly limited to Lutris’ usage/implementation of ge-proton
Are you referring to Feral Game Mode? (Not really any knowledge about Steam Deck)
If you do, this seems to be an issue on Linux Desktop as well. Whenever I run a game with Game Mode enabled, I get a bunch of error messages… sometimes the game would run, other times it would not. I have tried to reinstall Feral, but it doesn’t seem to do anything, so I am still with this issue.
Sorry no not Feral. SteamOS has a “Game Mode” that is the default when booting up a Steam Deck… it is somewhat similar to the Steam Big Picture Mode but not the same
