Steam deck releasing tomorrow, status of controller support?

[Metatime]

Not 100% sure if this game will work on steam deck and I know controller support have been in the works but that was announced last year. It would be nice if we can get an ETA since I know players would love to play bns on the deck (and even just with a pad) but without controller support it's not possible.

Well its sounds like u still not found your VR headset have integrated camera, just to enable it u Must first connect to USB 2.0 slot todays PCs have 3 of them grey blue and white. U need connect to grey if u have colors. Then probably need set enable camera in steam (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\resources\settings\)

It should work on it if you install Windows, but since this is not a Steam game... I would say 99% it won't work on Steam OS.

It won't work on Steam OS, unless...

 

Steam OS 3.0 is based in Arch Linux, and therefore has to run in a compatibility layer.

It uses Proton which is a modified version of WineHQ with limited support to run rootkits and viruses, like GameGuard and EasyAntiCheat.

 

You have 1 option: install Windows 10/11 in it, once there are drivers for it.

You do have another option, but fearing risks of being censured, I will not say it here, but it is about GameGuard.

 

GameGuard will be the what will prevent you from running the game in Linux.

It might be possible, since Steam has some mouse/keyboard emulation, but, until a final release and someone actually tries it, it's just a guess.

 

However, it will be as scuffed as you can imagine, compared to actually adding support for it.

According to what I find on Google and Youtube, it should be easy as pie, and not take this long time.
