Last Epoch on the SteamDeck has a few issues that need to be fixed, but it's still surprisingly good

My SteamDeck settings:

  • (I like a smooth 60 FPS, but even the minimum settings look surprisingly good on the SteamDeck since patch 0.9):

  • Very low for everything

  • 1152x768

  • CryoUtilities recommended system settings

  • Out of the box install* (has texture issues; Ge-Proton7-50 fixes them)

  • Stable SteamDeck branch

Feedback (even though GE-Proton-7-50 fixes most of the graphical issues):

  • Characters/textures are missing from the character selection screen

  • Mini map is broken

  • Map textures/graphics are missing (waypoints show up, but not the map itself)

  • Difficult to see what item/spot you have selected in your inventory

  • It’d be nice if there was a “snap to furthest edge” (e.g. in inventory, or from the inventory to the crafting screen) selector like with PoE’s controller implementation (right stick)

  • Can’t use controller, dpad, or bumpers to control the menu screens (e.g. passives, settings, etc) - it’s mouse only

  • Sometimes the aim assist/targeting (on mage?) seems slightly off and targets something in the distance instead of the enemy next to me

Gameplay:

  • Mad fun. Last Epoch on SteamDeck is an amazing way to relax, and it plays very well

  • 0.9 made Last Epoch much smoother & better looking at the same time - especially on SteamDeck

Conclusion:

  • Last Epoch on the SteamDeck has a ton of potential, & is quite fun despite some of the polish items that will get resolved over time

Having the same issues, fixing them would be really great then else it’s really great game and makes a ton of fun on Deck

For what its worth, I believe they intend to have full controller support by 1.o, which will hopefully help Steam deck users.

Unfortunately, Steam Deck is not an officially supported platform, but EHG has said a couple time they will be look at other platforms post 1.0. Hopefully, given existing Linux support, Steam Deck will be toward top of that list.
