V agency officially announced the Steam Deck handheld this week. According to the official description, the device can run 3A games perfectly and can install third-party applications without jailbreaking, including Epic Mall. However, according to the data website ProtonDB, several popular works on the PC side, such as PUBG, Apex Legends, Destiny 2, and Rainbow Six Siege, are temporarily unavailable on this handheld for specific reasons.
In order to solve the problem that most Steam games cannot be played downstream with the built-in SteamOS environment of the handheld, V agency has developed a technology called Proton for it to enhance its compatibility, and the above-mentioned games cannot be played downstream with this technical support, and they all have one thing in common: the use of Easy Anti Cheat anti-cheat system.
If you run the four games mentioned above on SteamOS supported by Proton technology, all four games can run, but the anti-cheat system cannot run due to incompatibility, and players will report an error when they try to log in to the game.
In the introduction of the official website of Steam Deck, V agency stated: We are working directly with distributors to improve game compatibility under Proton technology and support anti-cheating solutions. That is to say, the V agency is trying to Solve the Problem of incompatible anti-cheat software. Perhaps in the near future, we will be able to play games like Destiny 2 and Apex Legends on Steam Deck.
