This just seems odd to me. I know it’s a competitive game, and most folks will be playing with a mouse and keyboard, but it feels weird for Valve to put out a brand new game (built from scratch, at that) and not plan for this.

    Has anyone tested this on a Steam Deck yet and can report it’s performance?

        Seems like a very rushed launch to try and meet the “Summer” deadline (which they still missed by a week of course). Valve didn’t even update Steam Rich Presence so it still says you are playing “CS:GO”. The store page doesn’t have the right video on it, there’s no special graphic in the store or anything and the game banner hasn’t been updated. Lots of cut corners. For some reason Valve has been going crazy lately, they also released the Dota compendium today, SteamOS 3.5 a week ago and SteamVR 2.0 just a few days ago. Makes sense they missed some stuff.

        No audio is not a Steam Deck only issue, its broken for a lot of people on Linux.

        I don’t know what the deck uses but -sdlaudiodriver pipewire in launch options fixed it for me.

        The rest of it sounds like a nightmare tho.

            I have seen some people reporting non working audio with Pulseaudio as well, but I haven’t tried myself or looked more into it after I found what fixes it for me.

        Yeah, I managed to fix the sound thing and you can see that there’s some very unfinished implementation for controller support (I used the WASD + Mouse preset for deck) but when I pressed B button the buy menu appeared even though the B button is not bound to the B key, also when I opened the menu the deck keyboard opened.

        I saw that the gpu was not being taxed nor the cpu, it seems there’s some bug or something that doesn’t help it achieve it’s potential perfomance

        Yes, it’s a very rushed release on linux

        Wow, that’s actually really embarrassing for them.

        I was also looking forward to maybe playing a bit with my son this weekend under the expectation that surely their flagship game would play well on their flagship console.

      It says it’s playable. Just had some small text apparently. I’m trying to install it but steam is being weird telling me I have no Internet connection lol.
