Just curious how Diablo 4 / battle.net performs after installation on the Steam Deck. Do I have to fiddle with settings after every update or once I go through the setup steps am I good to go?

      What are the controls like? I’m used to playing Diablo type games with mouse and keyboard. How does it translate over to game pad? Or do you run anything special with the track pad?

        Gamepad plays great! I’m actually much preferring it to mouse and keyboard for Diablo. It was designed for Xbox Series and PS5, so the controls are pretty intuitive. I prefer it because I can move my character with the stick rather than having to click around or hold the mouse down as I move

          Which class do you recommend playing with for gamepad so it doesn’t rely too much on auto locking or aiming?

            I have been playing Sorceress exclusively with a controller and it’s working out great so far. I’m level 59 right now.

        it’s pretty good. I have some gripes but overall diablo on controller is a good experience. d4 natively supports gamepad controls.

        I played 2 and 3 with a mouse and keyboard wasn’t too sure getting into 4 on PS5 but overall it’s been a great experience. You can definitely tell they took the time to design this game for controller support.

        My only qualm is occasionally I attack an npc while trying to target another.
