Steam Deck experience

[OreoFox]

I know this just released but has anyone tried playing on the Deck? I'm aware this has been somewhat confirmed to be playable but how is the experince and is there any tweaking necessary?

Steam + X worked for me!

Restarting the SD helped me with the loading loop and after giving it 2 minutes it started normally

I can't use keyboard on steam deck

Works great on Steam deck for me so far.

For keyboard: hit A to activate the text field, then Steam+X to pull up keyboard, type, then hit R2 to enter it in. Then Steam+X to remove keyboard and return to game.

This works for me! Only issue I ran into was if I pressed B to close the keyboard instead of R2 it wouldn't let me confirm, I had to reopen the keyboard and hit R2 to confirm my selection.

runs fine for me. settings all as high as they go and have it locked to 40. looks like I’ll get around 2.5 hours out of the battery.

I got past that by switching the Launch Options for the game from "Launch Configuration Tool" to "Play Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life"

(On the deck, Gear settings > General > Launch Options)

Thank you Cherubae! This worked for me!
Game & controls work great on the Deck. It did not start in Japanese for me like a lot of Steam reviews are reporting. I did have to manually change the resolution though. Absolutely no issues with the controls - they seem fine, you just need to manually pull up the keyboard.

Great! Glad it worked!

I think R2 is needed to input the keyboard "Enter" key.
