Desynced has successfully passed the Steam Deck compatibility tests and achieved the "Playable" status.
While this is excellent news, it means there are a couple of things to keep in mind to get the smoothest experience on Steam Deck.
Here is a quick rundown of the considerations:
Things to Note:
- Controller Configuration: You might need to use the touchscreen or virtual keyboard for some functions. Community configurations might come in handy.
- Icon Displays: Sometimes, the game will display mouse, keyboard, or non-Steam-Deck controller icons.
- On-screen Keyboard: Manually invoking the keyboard is required to enter some texts (STEAM + X)
- Cursor Activation: Press R3 to activate the cursor.
- Text Size: Some in-game text is small and may be difficult to read. For better readability, you can scale the UI and text up to 120% in the game settings (Options -> Game -> Interface Scale). Use Steam+L1 for further zoom
- Graphics Settings: To perform the game at its best, manually configure the graphics settings.
What’s Performing Well:
- Single-player: Enjoy both online and offline single-player seamlessly.
- Multiplayer: Online multiplayer runs without a hitch.
- External Controller: Primary player external controllers are supported fully.
- Resolution and Audio: Experience the native resolution and stellar audio that work like a charm.
- Frame Limiter and Display Settings: These are supported and stored per device, giving you a hassle-free gaming experience.
Getting the "Playable" status in our Early Access phase is a big deal, but it's just the beginning. We're keen to keep working on Desynced for Steam Deck.
Feel free to share your feedback, and stay tuned for further updates.
