From what I understand, Last Epoch has an online and offline mode. If you're playing in online mode, and you put your deck to sleep, what happens when you wake up the Deck?
Some online games just have a brief reconnecting delay, but other games (like Diablo 4 at launch) will completely kick you out or make you restart the game completely.
Okay, was just able to test this with my Ally running Bazzite (which I did have with me, but was charged down). I was able to put it to sleep for a few minutes while in a town, after waking back up I got disconnected but was able to just log back in from the menu without a game relaunch!
Thank you for checking it out!
I can't say that I've tried to do that directly (I'm unfortunately not at my steam deck this moment to test), however I've been disconnected from the game servers before whenever they have to apply a server-side fix (or during general server issues) and it allowed me to rejoin without relaunching the entire game. So I imagine an Internet drop from putting the deck to sleep would be treated the same and not require a relaunch, unless maybe you've put it to sleep for an extended period of time (such as 24 hours) causing an authentication token of sorts to expire.
So far I've only had to do a full relaunch whenever there is a new patch available (if you try to rejoin instantly it'll just tell you to update the game).
EHG has been putting a lot of focus on Deck related stuff, so I suspect even if it does cause a relaunch they'd be receptive to feedback to try to find a workaround on their side if possible.
