Hey everyone!!
Very quick news post here warning you all that with the upcoming v10 update, Steam Deck compatibility may break.
During testing of our new updated we've had multiple people inform us that some inputs on Steam Deck don't work.
The issue is that we've upgraded our input framework to use Rewired Input Manager, which allows us far greater flexibility when it comes to recognizing controllers than our previous solution.
However, it appears that Steam's Proton Wine fork, the software Steam uses to emulate Windows games on Linux/Steam Deck, has a critical input bug that causes Rewired to not work properly on Steam Deck.
A detailed overview of the issue can be find in this forum post, by the developer of Rewired:

This situation is an unfortunate result of multiple systems not interacting perfectly, and Zeepkist being developed with only PC officially supported.
We're currently working with Steam to test and verify the new update, but until that process is complete we can't do anything about the "Steam Deck Verified" icon on our Store page.
So if you're looking to buy Zeepkist for exclusive use on Steam Deck, I would wait until the next update to see if Zeepkist is still compatible.
We're very sorry for any issues this may cause anyone, and we'd like to remind you that you have a right to apply for refund as long as you have under 2 hours of play time!
Thank you all for your understanding!
