Have you personally tried Boxtron or Roberta on the Deck? I briefly messed around with them a while back, but at least at that point it wasn’t as simple as just installing them via protonUp-qt or WineCellar.

If anyone wants to play Doom with GZDoom and easy mod access, I’ve been doing that for a while via Luxtorpeda.

Add it to your compatibility layer list like you would ProtonGE, then choose the Luxtorpeda compatibility layer for DOOM. Once you launch it you can choose either straight up GZDoom or qZDL+GZDoom for easy mod management.

I didn’t think of that, TIL

Uh, not like I can think of any use case for having the UI show up, but if some people want it a toggle is perfect. I am happy and everyone is happy.

“Fixed screenshots not including Steam user interface elements.” WTF? I thought that was a feature, not a bug. One of the things that really bugged me about screenshots on the Deck was Steam interface appearing on screenshots. I don’t wanna have message notifications or whatnot appearing in my screenshots.

And here I thought they had finally fixed that.

If you ask me, the Source version didn’t include any QoL improvements or anything that might make the game more modern feeling.

The “upgrades” are mostly new textures and effects that bugged out half the time. Plus all the gameplay bugs that it introduced.

Even before the update most people were recommending the OG above the Source version, so it makes sense that they would update that one.

The one just named “Half Life” is the definitive version now, the one that got the big update yesterday.

Source is the same messy version as it was before and they haven’t touched it. Though it will still be in our libraries for legacy versions.

Valve themselves recommend you ignore Source exists now.

Thanks, that’s a workaround for cheats at least. I’ll try tinkering a bit more with the console when I get the chance, so we can mess around with the rest of the console features too.

I’ve been able to trigger the on screen keyboard when naming a save game, but I’ve had no luck with the console. How did you manage to trigger the on screen keyboard in that case?

Thanks for the heads up!

How does Legend play on the Deck? I’ve played the whole of the new trilogy and up to 3 of the old ones (all of them before I got the Deck). And I wanna get into that “middle trilogy” too, the Deck sounds like a nice fit for those games.
