Red 5 standing by! How about a little more Star Wars on the go? It appears that MOTIVE and EA and getting ready for the Steam Deck release with tweaks to their anti-cheat.
We don't yet have confirmation of what's happening, and we don't know if it will be a success but they're definitely trying to get it ready. Over on SteamDB you can see there's an "eac_fix" branch, with a description of "EAC fix for steam deck test branch" - so work is clearly happening (EAC being Easy Anti-Cheat). Being able to play Squadrons on the Steam Deck and online against others sounds like it could be pretty awesome.

Valve did say recently that beginning Monday, January 24 they would be sending out Deck Verified data, to those developers who use anti-cheat middleware so perhaps this is the start of more to come? Considering that Easy Anti-Cheat is now easier to support for Linux / Proton and the Steam Deck, and BattlEye is just an email away, we're hoping to see lots of titles get working in the next few months.

Quoting: whizseTry disabling Steam Input for the game.Oh! That's interesting. But I don't even think mine showed up in the Steam controllers list. But I'll look into it. Thanks!
I had a similar problem with a racing wheel and a specific game and this made it work.

Quoting: BeamboomSteam's input has some odd issues. Like there are for sure times I have to be in Big Picture Mode for all the controller inputs to work right, and other times it is like this, where you have to disable it for the OS level drivers to work.Quoting: whizseTry disabling Steam Input for the game.Oh!
