Hermannsson echoed McCabe&#8217;s point that making Frontier gamepad-friendly in the first place was a far bigger challenge than anything specific to the Deck.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We already have experiments running on Steam Deck,&#8221; said Hermannsson. &#8220;We just couldn&#8217;t get it in time\u2060\u2014we want to focus on the gamepad stuff instead. The biggest problem we ran into was actually the launcher. It&#8217;s not the game itself, it was just like some config files.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A number of high-profile multiplayer games are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/battle-royale\/apex-legends-ditches-steam-deck-support-ea-says-linux-is-a-path-for-a-variety-of-impactful-exploits-and-cheats\/\" target=\"_blank\">unplayable on Deck<\/a> due to their anticheat being incompatible with Linux, but EVE Frontier sidesteps this issue by eschewing traditional anticheat altogether.
