A set of hard to navigate and fill-out screens while creating an Xbox Account and linking it to the Steam account. Only happens at the first start of the game.
Sometimes the game gets frozen up completely for more than a minute. It completely freezes the Steam Deck too so you cannot even kill it using the Steam button. When it works, it performs OK with the default settings.
The game crashes randomly and fairly often. Restarting the game is slow and requires navigating through a lot of screens so this is very annoying. Sometimes it takes 3 attempts just to launch the game. Barely tolerable.
Not recommended in its current state. Way too many crashes and freezups to be enjoyable.
all texts in the cocpit are very small on the Deck's 7 inch screen.
Sometimes, part of the background audio gets stuck and plays constantly. You can only fix this be restarting the game (which can be quickly done, luckily)
The options screen is unusable during missions (massive artifacts, unreadable) So, you can only configure things before you start a mission.
Saving locally works fine. However saves are not properly copied to the cloud and will not be copied to other machines (if you play on multiple machines) If you start on a new machine, you need to start the game from scratch (or you manually copy the save files over)
I have played through the first chapter without any real issues (to the point when the Azameen family if forced to flee to the Rebellion).
I played with a joystick, external monitor and keyboard because the many commands that are needed are not possible to map to a controller or joystick. I have NOT tested the game with the controller of the Deck (and I do not think it would work great with this game).
The Thrustmaster T16000M joystick works very well with the game (even the roll when you twist the joystick) but you can only map 2/3 of the buttons of the base and the thrust slider is not detected (not needed, you will want to use the thruster setting keys anyways)
40 fps / 40 hz
Knowledge entries were hard to read on the Deck
Dathomir was slightly choppier than the other planets. Still enjoyable and not a big issue.
Randomly, not often.
I have only played a couple of missions in the story and a lot of practice in the training grounds. Thrustmaster T16000M joystick works great with the game.
The intro stutters heavily when the game loads. Actual gameplay is smooth.
3-player co-op works great
Medium artifacts, randomly. Sometimes vertical lines. Maybe a bit less after switching to "Very High" quality in the options.
Split screen seems to work fine with two USB controllers (Logitech F310). Didn't try LAN multiplayer.
Absolute blast (literally), enjoyed it very much.
