DuckStation Freezing on Steam Deck (EmuDeck)

DuckStation Freezing on Steam Deck (EmuDeck)
On my Steam Deck running EmuDeck, DuckStation is acting up bad—screen freezes solid mid-game (like in Resident Evil, audio keeps chugging as I "walk" around), or it just force-quits randomly. Super annoying with ink ribbon saves! Restarting the Deck helps short-term, but it creeps back after sleep/wake or long sessions. Tied to game mode overlay maybe?

Classic EmuDeck gremlin post-update. Hit "Manage Emulators" in EmuDeck and reset DuckStation config first (wiki has the deets). If still janky, rollback to the Jan 2025 commit via their SteamOS guide—wiped freezes/crashes for ages on my Deck (Spyro 2 loading screens especially). Desktop mode + no Steam overlay is a solid temp hack too.
