Hope this post settles the whole "Source 2" and "Steam Deck" things for Zombie Panic! Source. Depending on what happens in the future, this "no because we can't" can become "maybe" or "no it's not worth it". Short version: right now, the answer is "no because we can't". Of course, there are many other factors to count, but that's just the gist of it.
#Zombie panic source 2 mods#
Source 2 modding is restricted by what Dota 2 and Half-Life: Alyx tools offers and they do not have the flexibility needed to make mods like Zombie Panic! Source.įurthermore, even if Valve do offer licensing options for Source 2 in the future, we have to study the engine, learn what we can do and cannot do. That however does not change our policy about Steam Deck.Īt the current time, Valve does not license the Source 2 engine to third-party developers. This game does not default to external Bluetooth/USB controllers on Deck, and may require manually switching the active controller via the Quick Access Menu.This game's default graphics configuration performs well on Steam Deck.In-game interface text is legible on Steam Deck.Entering some text requires manually invoking the on-screen keyboard.This game sometimes shows mouse, keyboard, or non-Steam-Deck controller icons.Some functionality is not accessible when using the default controller configuration, requiring use of the touchscreen or virtual keyboard, or a community configuration.
Here are the results in case people are wondering: UPDATE: Someone at Valve randomly playtested ZPS on a Steam Deck it has been classified as "Playable". If you have a problem, nothing we can do about it. Short version: if it works, good for you, you are lucky. Even if someone else would offer to buy one for us, the answer stays "no". Myself and JonnyBoy don't have a "developer kit" and we are not interested into wasting our own money to buy one just to add Zombie Panic! Source support. Even if we do use their engine, Zombie Panic! Source is not a game "made by Valve" so they won't care. To quote Aoiuchuu's post above: "it's strictly a PC game for mouse and keyboard,"ĭo NOT bother Valve with Zombie Panic! Source and Steam Deck. This include devices like the Steam Deck.
#Zombie panic source 2 update#
However, keep in mind that it is not a "top priority" for us to fix crashes, bugs or even update the game for anything related to "controller/gamepad" stuff. You should be able to use the current Windows client to play Zombie Panic! Source. If you go through the hassle of installing Windows on your Steam Deck. In other words, you should be able to use the current Linux client if you keep SteamOS 3.0 to play Zombie Panic! Source.
#Zombie panic source 2 portable#
The Steam Deck is marketed as an "all-in-one portable PC gaming" by Valve on it's website.
