Unfortunately verification is massively broken.
It’s only ever revisited after updates when a huge company breaks all their games and valve has shown in the past that they’re willing to bend the rules of verification for some high-profile games.
We should ignore it and use protondb instead. You always get the latest comments from people and there is no corporation with a conflict of interest behind it.
Also worth noting that for ease of use, you can get the ProtonDB Badges plugin with Decky. It’s not perfect, but it helps.
Not interested in owning one of these myself, but thanks to everyone that does - the huge success makes life much better for Linux gamers, general compatibility has been absolutely through the roof recently.
I’m quite glad that it’s becoming way easier to play on the steam deck !
I love my Deck, except my life got busy and all the games I play require mb+k. Thought I’d end of using it a lot more lol.
I play some games with the dock and a M+KB. It’s a nice compromise for us Mac owners
The game porting library addition to MacOS was a nice surprise for Mac users, it’s exciting times
I am yet to discover a game that can’t be played on the Deck. Steam Input, the touchpads and the gyro are great at getting a good control scheme for everything. I even played StarCraft on that thing.
For me, it’s Genshin Impact that keeps my Windows install around. Anti cheat stuff is still bullshit.
Yup, I find analog stick plus touchpad to be perfectly adequate for most of my m+kb games. I’m not sure I could make it through a fast twitch shooter like Doom on it, but for the most part it works just fine.
hell yeah!
Really great hardware for people who don’t mind tinkering. With a bit of effort and experimentation its possible to get way more games to work than what is listed as officially verified and playable.
