Questions regarding L4D 1 & 2 on Steam Deck

[stranger]

I got this game for a family member so that we could play some of the workshop mod levels but unfortunately they have an Apple computer and L4D can no longer run on it. So we are deciding if they should get a Steam Deck since they can't afford a gaming computer. But I have a couple of questions for any who knows the answers, please assist:

Does the game run decent enough on the Deck to support multiplayer?

Can the same workshop mods and levels work on the Deck?

Do workshop mod levels work on multiplayer or only single player only, and if they do work multiplayer do all players have to download it or just the host?

I see no reason why not. "Steam Deck compatibility verified", says the store page.
If you're not sure and want to talk to other Steam Deck owners, try this forum.

Everyone always has to subscribe to the same add-ons if you want to play together. Not only the host.

Both are steam deck compatible.

Yes.

If you want to play custom maps on multiplayer everyone needs to have it installed.

u can build a good pc for 400euros, and that's including a computer screen.
why waste it on a console?


edit: ignorant post from me, it's not a console =)

Dont do that!!!

You will all regret this, keep the money and make them install bootcamp windows on their computer, it's free and supported by Apple.

Don't buy a console, keep the money for a gaming setup.

I also want them to get into actual computer gaming, and I believe that using the steam deck they would be able to play games shared from my acct that they cannot play on the consoles. To show that there are mods out there that enhance a lot of games for the better. Also because I stopped buying consoles years ago and would like to be able to play multiplayer with them using remote play. (Also I despise everything Apple)

u keep acting like what you're saying is actually smart. u started ur own argument and u keep trying to reach for some sort of reaction from me.
how sad u must be, but then again u DO have that profile pic and that name so...
blocked and ignored, like ur kind should be

i don't know how you reached that conclusion. i only pointed out how you knew nothing about the steam deck. you chose to react the way you did.

I bought my first computer (i was using laptops) for about 400 euros.
Everything was second-hand, except the peripherals.
If you have the patience, try to find second-hand equipment near you. And always find a way to test it before u buy it.

I merely said that the OP would be better off building a computer. How does that qualify me for what you're trying to argue?
And why the heck do u keep going at it? If not for ur posts, this thread would be clean. but then again, your kind knows nothing about being clean-minded

Thank you, but I already recommended to them to build a new computer (I was even willing to do it and mail it to them, just needed the funds) multiple times, but they do not want to have to sit in one place because it would be no different then a console to them. Also I didn't want them to just use a laptop either because that is bigger than the steam deck. I was looking for a middle ground since they seem to love using the Nintendo switch as an on- the- go game player and the steam deck fits this type perfectly.

you called the steam deck a console, it is not. it is a pc. the price you recommended, 400 euros, is what a 64GB steam deck costs, 399 usd. what you recommend is exactly what the steam deck is. it's just as competent, if not more than a pc you could build with current hardware prices.
