Did you get someone to invite you? If not I can

Does it play okay on Mac/Deck?

I got it working on my Linux desktop with minimal issues (was crashing when I loaded into a map, was an easy system configuration fix after troubleshooting... I also use a more DIY distro so there are occasional quirks). I'm sure it will run fine on steam deck, I highly doubt Valve would have put the game out for beta before testing it on their own hardware

Valve has manually selected the game to be run with proton experimental under linux, and it works on my linux desktop. So it will probably at least run on Deck, but I don't imagine it's a very controller-friendly game. I have no idea about Mac.

Ohh, what is not going to work with a controller do you think?

It's a shooter with no aim assist, and the UI isn't setup particularly well for controller (at least not yet)

Yeah controller would be really rough.

I’ve unfortunately only played on PC

I'd be interested in an invite. Been discussing it with a few friends, but want aware of the playtest until I read this thread.

Sure thing! I have to add you to my friends list for me to be able to invite you inside Deadlock. You can DM me your friend code if you don’t want to post it here.

If you don't mind, I have a potato PC to test it and make a write up on how it works on outdated setups. Write me and I'd PM my steam.

Sure thing! Message over your friend code or whatever and I’ll add you to my friends list and get you a deadlock invite. I’ll do it in the morning, have a good one!
