Has anyone tested this on a Steam Deck yet and can report it's performance?
So I loaded it up on my steam deck specifically for this comment. I only use the deck in handheld mode so I can't report much other than the game is entirely broken.
Inputs are for mouse/keyboard only. Controller support doesn't seem to be there so I had to navigate the menus via touch screen. No big deal but I got into a practice match with bots.
Initial realization that the above issue means you can't move at all. There is no way to play the game.
Realize there is no sound at all. Sound is broken in the game on Steam Deck (although on my Linux Mint desktop it works fine.)
Just sitting there watching bots kill me was about 8-30 FPS. It was real hitchy and clearly not able to run on steam deck yet.
Feeling like I had done my due diligence I uninstalled it.
Overall rating: Garbage. Unplayable, even if you plug in a mouse and keyboard and play without hosting, maybe you could get 30+ FPS stably but no audio is an instant deal breaker in CS2.
No audio is not a Steam Deck only issue, its broken for a lot of people on Linux.
I don't know what the deck uses but -sdlaudiodriver pipewire in launch options fixed it for me.
The rest of it sounds like a nightmare tho.
Thanks for this. Gonna try tonight.
