A new Proton Experimental update was released yesterday with a couple of updates for games and the Epic Games Store launcher. Video playback has been fixed in Roboquest, Teardown won't hang when you publish a mod to the workshop, you can send feedback in Cosmoteer again, and the Epic Games Store will now launch again when using Proton.
The new Proton Experimental update should automatically download if you already have the experimental layer. If not, just search for Proton Experimental in the Steam store on your Steam Deck and download.
