Hello! I’m trying to play Sea of Thieves on my Steamdeck. The title window gets stuck on “signing in.” On PC- an Xbox account login window pops up at this time so that you can log in and play- but this window doesn’t actually appear. If I look at the “switch windows” area it does show both “Sea of Thieves” and “Xbox Live Sign In” but the Xbox live sign in doesn’t appear.
I did try switching to desktop mode and loading it up- the Xbox login page DOES appear but it won’t let me bring up the virtual keyboard to actually type anything. I’ll try connecting a Bluetooth keyboard later but I’m hoping to get this working the normal way.
Any idea how to get around this?
Hey guys, hopefully this helps out.
I had the same issue this morning and couldn’t find an answer online so I had to troubleshoot. My solution was to switch to Desktop Mode, at which point the “invisible” login screen pop-ups and you can click on it. Unfortunately, the keyboard doesn’t open up in this mode using Steam+X for some reason. To fix this, you’ll need to connect an external keyboard.
I know it’s quite a workaround, but from there, you are good to go and it works.
