Use Luxtorpeda for best experience.

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton
Performance:Slight Performance Problems

Sometimes, the loading screen from initial launch may take a little longer than anticipated. Otherwise, the game works well though.

Use Luxtorpeda so you can launch this game using the native Linux build of the source engine. Requires Source SDK 2013 Singleplayer and Steam Linux Runtime to be installed through steam, though.

Runs just fine on default Proton

Windowing:Activating Fullscreen

In rare cases, fullscreen might revert or not work. If that happens, just switch from window to fullscreen in the game options (or vice versa). Solves the issue.

Steam Deck Logo

Played through the whole game with no issues. Once I changed the control layout it played almost exactly like regular Half Life 2

2 years ago
Control Layout:Switch To Keyboard And Mouse
Control Layout Customization:Grip Buttons, Other

Remapped the controls to match as close to the Half Life 2 control layout as possible.

Battery Performance:

Limited FPS to 40

Difficult To Read Text:

Menu text is pretty small and can be hard to read.
