Press power button to suspend console then press again to go on playing in seconds, not tenths of seconds (as in getting your PC out of hibernation). It is a console-like experience in the sense that there are certified games and their experience should be like “press install” then press play. #CCPPlease make EVE on Steam Deck happen - based on my testing and publicly available specs it is actually so close to be a great experience there I also feel the overview switching shortcuts will be a great addition to players who use traditional player-pod interfaces like mice and keyboards. Other tasks are not so time-sensitive as combat, so they can be done with less precise conversion of joystick axes or track-pads to control mouse cursor. These are shortcuts to turn your camera drones around the ship to get better view and shortcuts to switch between different overview tabs. Second, EVE client apparently misses a few key shortcuts that would make combat and mining game-play (I have not tested other things yet) much more joystick-friendly. The rest of the client has been usually almost always stable except for, maybe, audio subsystem which is not critical and occasional graphics glitches which cannot be tested yet as Steam Deck is not yet publicly available. However, here are a few things I’d like to ask CCP to consider in case you are interested in having EVE playable on the Deck (which would make it a unique space MMOG on that platform and that I heard is good for getting in new players).įirst of all, EVE launcher issues need to be checked to ensure that on the deck and under Steam OS and latest Steam/Proton there are no crashes on startup for no reason. I tested this approach and it is surprisingly playable.
I checked the related docs and figured out that I can make a Python script to convert my joystick buttons and axes into key-presses and even control of mouse cursor. Apparently EVE does not support Joysticks at all.
However, when I considered the need to operate EVE using joystick primarily and tried to check if there is an option to at least map joystick keys to some shortcuts in the client I got disappointed.
With some thinking I really cannot come up with any reason why it would be impossible since Steam OS is just Linux and EVE still works in Linux. I have recently got interested in this Valve’s new console and decided to ponder if it can be used to play EVE.
