Prior to the most recent update, Native seemed to work perfectly well, but now the native client has some variety of memory leak when loading a save or starting a new game that forces me to fully reset my desktop. The same save I tried to load in Native functioned normally and without incident under Proton.

R4 switched to bulid in steam deck's zoom in

Difficult To Read Text:

By default text is small (but readable). Go to settings menu and increase GUI's scale to fix it.

Works fine out of the box.

The test is small, but overall the gameplay is solid using the trackpads.

Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental

Control Layout Customization:Grip Buttons, Right Trackpad

I use left trackpad as mouse, and right trackpad as scroll wheel for zoom. Also eight stick is the arrow keys to move the view around.

The early game is playable (and fun!) after messing with proton versions. I'm not sure the later stages of the game will also be bug-free.
