Starship Troopers: Extermination from Offworld just had another major upgrade released, and they're now improving the experience of playing it on Steam Deck.

For Update 1.3 they've added new Steam Deck specific Video settings between Performance and Quality. It's in "Alpha" and they said they hope to improve it in future updates. Nice to see! Although currently it does have an issue where swapping the mode during a match may crash it.

I'm definitely going to have to check this out again. Update 1.3 added some other properly exciting additions too like day and night cycles, dynamic weather, staged weapon reloads and various performance improvements. There's also numerous bug fixes, UI improvements, audio improvements and so on.

See more in the changelog.

I really enjoyed my time in this game, but sadly, it's never really recovered from being released too early. The 15K players dropped to 1K within 3 months and it's been hovering around the 500-1000 mark ever since.

I had 25 or so very enjoyable hours though, late last year, so it's still alive-enough. Just not teeming with players the way it probably should be.

I really hope they add the polish it needs to properly shine and steal some players back.
