I'm thinking about picking it up, but I'm afraid it's the kind of game where I really want to use my steam deck for the controls but that needs a PC for good framerates.
I wish the deck had a mode where you can attach it to a PC and just use it as a controller.
A guide on reddit on how to forward the deck controller usb device to another machine.
Holy shit, thank you. I've been looking for this ever since I got my deck but I never found it. Given that the post is a year old I feel a bit stupid right now.
Pretty sure it does.
If nothing else, you can game stream to it, but just look at your PCs monitor.
But I think there should be something that does just the controls...
I tried that but the controls are often stuttery with the deck on wifi. Guess I won't have to anymore, thanks again!
That's unfortunate. Note that the usb forwarding is still via network/wifi. If your wifi is spotty, you could look up how to connect the deck to your PC LAN via usb so you have the network traffic go via a cable, to try and remedy that.
I've been using it on my Deck on Medium settings, and it runs pretty well. Firing it up right now to get an FPS measurement...
Update: amidst explosions etc. it seems to reliably hover between 30-40 FPS. Interestingly this doesn't seem to increase when settings are lowered further.
