How to update on Steam Deck

[HeavyDevy]

So I play VS on my steam deck, and the new update 1.21.4 just dropped. The flatpak version on the discover software however still is showing 1.21.1 

Is there any way to change this, or do I have to wait until it changes. Or will I have to do the other option of adding VS manually?

After doing way too much to work around this myself, I discovered this:

So I'm not a programmer at all, I have never even touched the terminal on my steam deck. I tried following the video to a T, but none of the commands ever worked. I also tried looking at the actual post, but it was too confusing to me. I didn't understand a single bit of what they were trying to explain.

Have you figured out a way to update it to 1.21.4? Let me rephrase that. Have you figured out an easier way?

flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/217065/at.vintagestory.VintageStory.flatpakref

Paste this into Konsole in Desktop mode, it'll update you to 1.21.4. For future generations, this will only get you 1.21.4, not any later version.
