Steam Deck Support - testing now on experimental branch

Golden Krone Hotel · published

Hello, my Kronies!

Since the release of v1.9, I've actually been pretty busy with work on Leyliner.

A few months ago a player informed me that the controls were completely borked on Steam Deck. I ordered a Steam Deck immediately and just got mine in the mail a few days ago.

Good news: I've been able to push out a quick build on the experimental branch that appears to work surprisingly well on Steam Deck. Controls work flawlessly out of the box. It's a pretty great experience from my limited testing.

Bad news: there are definitely a small handful of issues and I don't have time to fix them for at least a few days:

  • I had to break achievement support on Steam Deck to get controls working (long, boring story) but hope to add it back in later
  • The default zoom level might need a little work, I would recommend zooming out (top of GKH options) slightly to avoid scrollbars on certain menus
  • Performance was a little bit laggy after several minutes.
  • Morgue files are also broken

I have ideas for how to solve all these but need more time.

In the meantime, it would be great if anyone with a steam deck could try out the experimental branch build and let me know what you think.

People have been clamoring for a switch release (sorry not going to happen) and I gotta say having GKH on Steam Deck is a great fit, a dream come true.
