Oh damn, I didn’t realize this was out of EA. I impulse purchased it a couple years ago and it felt pretty lackluster, but I recognized it had a lot of potential so I shelved it rather than refund. Looks like they’ve added a ton of content and gameplay changes, so I’ll definitely check it out again. Hopefully they implement native controller support, as it seems like a perfect candidate for Steam Deck (yes, I know about Steam Input configs, but those are sometimes pretty hacky and don’t feel all that great in a lot of games).
I’ll let you know how the controller support is once the game lets me past the title screen, but it’s supposedly got it now.
EDIT: Got in to the game and poked around menus. Some dropdowns don’t appear to be selectable by controller, so hopefully they patch that.
Playing this now, it’s really good. I last played just after EA launch, a lot has been added and refined.
Currently, mine just says it can’t connect to Steamworks and gets no further. Anyone else having that issue? I would expect the game to fall back to offline mode at least, but even with Steam in offline mode, I get the same error.
