I’m thinking about picking it up, but I’m afraid it’s the kind of game where I really want to use my steam deck for the controls but that needs a PC for good framerates.
I wish the deck had a mode where you can attach it to a PC and just use it as a controller.
Holy shit, thank you. I’ve been looking for this ever since I got my deck but I never found it. Given that the post is a year old I feel a bit stupid right now.
I’ve been using it on my Deck on Medium settings, and it runs pretty well. Firing it up right now to get an FPS measurement…
Update: amidst explosions etc. it seems to reliably hover between 30-40 FPS. Interestingly this doesn’t seem to increase when settings are lowered further.
That’s unfortunate. Note that the usb forwarding is still via network/wifi. If your wifi is spotty, you could look up how to connect the deck to your PC LAN via usb so you have the network traffic go via a cable, to try and remedy that.

A guide on reddit on how to forward the deck controller usb device to another machine.

Pretty sure it does.
If nothing else, you can game stream to it, but just look at your PCs monitor.
But I think there should be something that does just the controls…
I tried that but the controls are often stuttery with the deck on wifi. Guess I won’t have to anymore, thanks again!
