    Thats not that surprising, all games go through this stage of development where you’re using basic assets just so you have something to look at while you’re iterating gameplay

          I got it working on my Linux desktop with minimal issues (was crashing when I loaded into a map, was an easy system configuration fix after troubleshooting… I also use a more DIY distro so there are occasional quirks). I’m sure it will run fine on steam deck, I highly doubt Valve would have put the game out for beta before testing it on their own hardware

              It’s a shooter with no aim assist, and the UI isn’t setup particularly well for controller (at least not yet)

        I’d be interested in an invite. Been discussing it with a few friends, but want aware of the playtest until I read this thread.

          Sure thing! I have to add you to my friends list for me to be able to invite you inside Deadlock. You can DM me your friend code if you don’t want to post it here.

            If you don’t mind, I have a potato PC to test it and make a write up on how it works on outdated setups. Write me and I’d PM my steam.

              Sure thing! Message over your friend code or whatever and I’ll add you to my friends list and get you a deadlock invite. I’ll do it in the morning, have a good one!

    I know it’s probably out of convenience more than anything (re-using existing CS assets), but it’s interesting to me that it was First Person at this stage and not Third. I’ve been wondering if I’d enjoy it better as an FPS as opposed to TPS.

      You just need to get invited by someone you are friends with.

      It used to be you had to be friends for at least a week, but I think that isn’t the case anymore.
