Hi, I can't replicate the issue.
Can you try a few more times to narrow down the problem and give me more details?

OK, I'll give it a try. The log file from the last time the game was run might be able to help you .

I reinstalled the game and tried moving it from the flash crad to the Steamdeck's storage, but the same issue persists. Moreover, it's not just the Single-player Load-game that has problems; multiplayer and map editor also encounter the same issues. The attachment is a recorded video.

That behavior is strange. With no way to reproduce it's hard to debug.
I suspect it might have something to do with our "DirectoryChangeWatcher". Make sure the permissions to the save folder are correct. Consider deleting your game configuration folder(home/deck/.factorio) entirely.
Since this is a major bug and you are the only one reporting it, I would say there's something wrong with your configuration.

Try to see if you can find what the process is stuck doing.

While I doubt this will make a difference, try running the game from the default "Gaming Mode" interface instead of using desktop mode.

After deleting the ".factorio" directory, the game runs without issues, but once I restore the backed-up mod files, the problem reoccurs. I suspect it might be caused by an outdated mod files, and I will conduct further tests myself. Thank you very much.

During the testing process, I found that the game error was not caused by a specific mod file. Instead, it occurred when the number of mod files was roughly above 496. I tried several different combinations of mod files, and all of them triggered the error. I'm not sure how to proceed with the testing, but I hope this information will be helpful for your debug.

What do you mean by "mod files"? Does it refer to more than 496 individual files in the "mods" folder? I assume with mods not stored as a zip file.
You can add mods as a zip package.

That's a lot of mods, heh. I'll move this back to bugs and mark it as Linux.

Please upload a log file and mod-list.json for the known state the breaks it.
