Inviting to lobby or joining other players' lobbies does not work. No multiplayer at all under SteamOS native build.
Game is perfectly playable until you decide to get multiplayer achievements. Then one of your options is going to Windows. Or trying Proton (which I haven't yet).
Multiplayer was mostly OK. One time I experienced some noticable lags as seen in glitched opponent's movement, but the connection remained stable.
Comparing to my previous report playing Windows version via Proton works better than the native build when you have multplayer in mind.
If you don't have interest in multiplayer you can still play the native version without any issues.
Online used to work (with minor issues) on Steam Deck, but with the addition of EAC it doesn't work anymore. I can launch the game, pick "Play online", log in and if I'm lucky I can get to lobby for a second (sometimes not even that) and the game closes (not sure if due to a crash).
Neither of the following work to fix the issue:
- switching to Windows version and running it via Proton
- switching to beta version of the game -- it uses different online server with different account and there are no saved characters from stable server

Most of the text (besides driver names) is unreadable. Either text is not there at all (all the menus) or there are some text placeholders hinting what should be in there.
To start driving you have to navigate menus by memory or with help of some videos posted online.

If you don't see any in-game text, change the game language in Steam properties before launching it. The issue appears for not supported languages (like Polish) and disappears when you change to English or any other supported language.
I was able to fix this thanks to this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=244600420.
I've played the base free game just fine with no issues at all, then I bought all the DLC in Steam Autumn 2023 sale and now I can't go past selecting a table due to game crashing.
