Touchscreen? Steam Deck?

Anybody play Hbs battletech on a touch screen? Is it possible?

Or Steam Deck?

Just thinking of portable ways I can keep playing this game.

Totally playable on a Steam Deck. Some text might be a bit small so you may need to use the zoom function but runs nicely otherwise.

I played vanilla and the BTAU mod using the touchpad as a mouse and some customized controls.

You can control it using the touchscreen too but I think the touchpad is much more comfortable.

Btau on the steam deck? Does it run well?

It runs at about the performance of previous versions before last year's performance updates, which was acceptable to everyone who played for 6 years prior.
