No Deck Support? [SOLVED! PLAY ON YOUR DECK]

THE FIX thanks to Cpt.Badger!!

Indeed, as such - I think I actually found a workaround:

1. Do NOT turn gamepad on in the game options.
2. Use "Mouse + Keyboard" control scheme.
3. Download and use "AlienHuntinYeti"s community controller layout.
4. Play this gem of a game on your deck. :)

Hope this helps.

ORIGINAL POST
I am quite sad to see this game has no Deck support.

When I tried to install this game on my Deck, the mouse keeps going to the top left of the screen by itself and none of the buttons work. I tried using the touch screen in the settings and even tho it was very hard to select what I wanted with the mouse going constantly up and to the left, I was able to turn on the joystick mode in the options but this did not fix the issue.

I also tried the Deck's keyboard recommendation for controls, as well as a community made one, but I couldn't get anything to respond, and the mouse still went to the top left of the screen constantly on its own. The ONLY thing I was able to move or get working was the right touch pad on the Deck could control the mouse on the Deck's keyboard layout, but that still didn't stop the mouse from drifting to the top left.

I find this all quite odd seeing as how the game's store page boasts Full Controller Support. I really hope the devs are working on this issue, and can get this game Deck ready soon!

If anyone has gotten it to work on their Deck, please let me know how you were able to do so. Much appreciated!

I'm sympathetic, but this game came out on steam five years before the steam deck was even released. Also a very small dev team that likely isn't working on this project anymore.

I hope someone in the community can help.

I feel like, if the constant mouse drifting could be resolved, it wouldnt be too challenging to make a Deck profile that would work.

Would absolutely love to play this on my deck. Current mouse drifting issue makes this sadly impossible.

Any workarounds would be much appreciated. :)

In many games the "mouse drifting to the left" thing is caused by a controller being plugged in. Is gamepad set to off in the options?

In the options of the game or the Deck?
