Consistent crashes on Steam Deck, any fixes?

Hey y'all,

I recently tried to get the game running, along with the restoration patch, on my Steam Deck. The patch and everything went fine, but I soon learned that I still can't play the game as it keeps crashing at the very start.

Specifically, when the first cutscene is supposed to trigger (e.g. where the windmills show one or two minutes into the game), the game straight up freezes and has to be force quit. I couldn't find anyone online dealing with this issue on their Steam Decks, though I did find people talking about the seemingly same issue on their PCs, and apparently that has to do with the 'ADV player' crashing

I wasn't able to replicate whatever fixes they mentioned for that as I'm not familiar with Linux at all, and most fixes looked Windows-only.

Did anyone else run into this issue, and find a fix? I really wanna jump back into IMHHW and doing it on my deck is ideal, but this roadblock is holding me back :(

Thanks in advance!
