The team is back from the holiday break with a new update that adds Steam Deck compatibility and fixes some bugs including an issue that could prevent players from progressing past the end of the turn. We’ve also added an option to improve performance by using a static background on the combat screen and addressed some minor UI and controller issues.
With this update, the game is now officially playable on Steam Deck. The team is continuing to work on updates, including the final tweaks required for full Steam Deck verification.
Thanks to everyone for your messages and bug reports. We use your feedback to prioritize changes, so please continue to report any issues to us at help.relic.com or drop by our Discord to chat with the development team and other players.
