Fall Guys was previously working using a version of GE-Proton, but this was broken recently and would not allow the game to load past an error. However, a user in the Fall Guys subreddit Shared a solution which fully fixed the game for me running on Steam Deck as of 3/31/23:
"Good news! A fix is on the way.
The fix is already implemented in the Proton Repository on GitHub, but it is not available on regular Proton of course.
However, you can already test it by using "Proton experimental" on Steam Deck and then using the bleeding edge branch. I got my Fall Guys working again on the Deck! To do so,
in search bar on Steam Deck search for "experimental" and Proton experimental will show up as a game
Open settings on Proton experimental
Go to beta tab and select bleeding edge branch (for me the very top branch with the long name worked)
Set Fall Guys to use Proton experimental
Verify game files on Fall Guys (needs to remove the previously downloaded EOS update and redownload it)
Have fun, beans!"
As a previous Steam Deck user posted, using Proton 4.11-13 allows the game to boot and reach the menus. Then. the game was able to detect my old cloud saves, all text was legible, and controller support was working fine.
I have played nearly 90 minutes of the game on my Deck so far with zero crashes or stability issues. I recommend this on Linux/Steam Deck as no further tweaks were needed beyond changing the Proton version.
