Does this work on Steam Deck?

[[MM] WMan22]

Since it's an MMORPG I wanna know if there's anything that breaks it on proton.

Atlyss isn't a MMORPG (it is a OARPG or MARPG), but it should work on the steam deck. There are others who are able to play it on it.

Thanks. A friend described it to me as an MMORPG and the menus looked very similar to one so I mistakenly assumed.

I'm intrigued by this game. On the verge of getting it. I would like to see some degree of controller support in the future, though. If FFXIV figured out how to make 16 hotkeys available at once when playing with a controller, I don't see why other games can't, especially when they have a little less to work with.

Yes i think so, but it has no controller support atm, as far as im aware

There is, oddly enough, an option to change the movement type to either an XBox or a PS4 controller. This makes it so you can only move with either.

Perhaps there'll be some degree of controller support in the future.

Just bought it and installed it on the Deck. You can change the inputs in the settings to controller inputs (yes, without having to bind keyboard keys to a controller profile).

I imagine it'll be missing the on-screen prompts, though.

I was never worried about it running well (The game ain't exactly Cyberpunk 2077) or how I could control it; I am very good at making Steam Input profiles from scratch and those two touchpads on deck make for some incredible hotbars using the Touch Menu function in SI.

I was more worried about if there was draconian anticheat that broke proton.

Oh. Well, it runs flawlessly. No problems with anti-cheat, if there's one at all.

ngl, I'm having a hard time fiddling with the controls. I've no idea how to make it so when holding a button, it makes it so the layout changes. I imagine this might be helpful to access the hotbar while moving, as it can be useful to have the left trackpad serve as the mouse wheel.

I was working on a rather serviceable control scheme for Guild Wars (the first one), but got a tired I'd love to see what you'd come up with for this game.

Oh, I can help you with that right here. What you're looking for is called an Action Layer. Action layers are what control changing your control schemes to something else. You can have them activate on toggle, or on hold of another button. This is where the steam deck's grip triggers come in handy. To be clear, you don't need a steam deck to do stuff like this, you can do this with any controller even on regular PCs, with any controller steam input sees. It's just about picking the right activation button which you have less of on traditional control schemes. As an example, when I play Warframe with a controller, I cast by flicking my right analog stick while holding R1 using a radial menu, which is better than stopping your movement to use the D pad to switch powers.

Neat! OK, I think I came up with something that's not too cumbersome. I already have some bindings set in stone (e.g. RT for LMB, which is attack), but I definitely need to work on others.

Be sure to upload it for the rest of us when you're satisfied with it. Sometimes I'll spend hours and multiple full batteries of my deck just to get the control scheme "feeling right" for one game but when I do and it's properly playtested it feels amazing to upload that for everyone else and being like "Yeah, you don't have to worry about it, I saved you the trouble."
