NOTE: I am aware of a problem on newer distributions of SteamOS/Linux where FR won't load. This is due to a problem with newer versions of glibc.
This can be resolved in 3 ways:
1. Use the stable branch of SteamOS for Steam Deck for the time being.
2. Run the Windows version of FR using Proton.
3. Follow the instructions here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/6982#issuecomment-2800172077
Please note that this beta update has no updated localization files yet. They will be applied in a later update.
