With one hand FromSoftware giveth (a goat-horse in a more opportune location, in this instance) and with the other it taketh away; Elden Ring's newly released 1.12 update has introduced a bug that can break things on Steam Deck - but From says it's looking into it. As detailed over on the developer's social media feed, leaving Elden Ring inactive for too long on Steam Deck renders the game unplayable in some instances - southing you'll probably want to be mindful of if you need to wander off and punch something, or have a little cry. For what it's worth, I left Elden Ring running for multiple five-minute windows in the interests of science and had no problem resuming the game each time - so it's possible this isn't an especially widespread issue.
