The entire campaign is unable to be started due to a game breaking bug. That's half the game.
While playing the first campaign mission the game consistently crashes during the in engine video sequencies. All graphics and audio freeze. It's so severe it locks up the entire Steam Deck and does not respond to any controls. A device reset is the only way to get back to Steam.
Skirmish missions can be played without experiencing the same issue.
Since the campaign is unplayable due to a game (and device) breaking bug, I don't recomend purchase or playing on Steam Deck while this issue persists.
Text in the various UI elements is small but readable.
In a previous report I stated that the game would crash in the first campaign mission at a specific moment when run on Steam Deck. Since then the issue seems to have been fixed by the developers. The first campaign mission worked without issue.
Default graphics settings are a bit choppy for the first mission on the steam deck because that mission is set inside atmosphere and a bit more graphically demanding. The following mission is set is space and runs at a higher frame rate.
Plays quite well on Steam Deck although I do like to add a bluetooth mouse and keyboard where possible.
Mapped shift, alt, and ctrl keys to back grip buttons.
Text is pretty small on the Steam Deck display. Worst parts are tips on loading screens. Otherwise most other cases are still legible.
