I am happy to announce that Valve has confirmed that Source of Madness now fully support the Steamdeck!

Multiplayer player mapping changed
We now let you pick between 1-5 players in the menu, instead of automatically assigning all connected controllers at the start of a game.

UI scale interaction with tooltip fix
In some extreme cases the tooltips can grow outside the bounds of the screen when max UI scale is set. To fix this it now is moved slightly upwards based on the number of line of texts it has if it is in the lower part of the screen.

Minor bug fix
Bug fix: Found an invisible monster in new game ++

Mini fix
Bug fix: Multiplayer was not localized

After Summer
Hello,

We are almost done with a new quality of life patch that will improve game balance, fix bugs, perfomance and text readability on smaller screens. This patch will hopefully be released once we return from Summer holidays in August.

One known issue is that it is very hard to see the spell slots on the HUD on the lowest settings and this will be fixed in that patch.


See you later alligator
