With Valve's Steam Deck set to be released in the US, Canada, the UK, and the EU in December 2021, I was wondering if there might be an opportunity between now and then to consider how, or even if, HBS' BATTLETECH might run on this new system.
Firstly, would the game be able to run on Steam Deck as it stands, or might a further update be needed in order to account for its hardware and software specifications?
Secondly, if it were compatible, or at least could be made to be so, how might details such as font sizes work on the Steam Deck's 720p screen? (Granted, this would be less of an issue when placing the device in a dock and playing the game on a TV or monitor.)
And thirdly, if one were to envision Valve enabling some sort of airplane mode for games running on Steam Deck (akin to the options available for offline play on, say, the Nintendo Switch), would it then be possible to set up an "offline" mode for this game, or is such a thing supported already?
