“Leaving your Steam Deck inactive for more than 5 minutes may stop the game from accepting inputs.

We apologize for inconvenience.

The date and time of the hotfix will be announced separately.”

Five minutes is, of course, an estimate.

I doubt this bug is kind enough to wait exactly 301 seconds.

Surely they can’t all be actual cheaters getting flagged for attempted day-one DLC shenanigans.Surely.

But seriously, it’s probably an anti-cheat mixup.

Here’s hoping a fix comes soon.
