Can you play Torchlight Infinite on Steam Deck?

When I first tried this game a few weeks ago, it was unplayable on Deck due to lack of controller support. The developers recently added controller support that works 90% great with the Deck. There are still some menus such as the talent screen and shop that require touchscreen input, but it’s still completely playable. The action itself works fully with the Deck controls and they even have an official Deck control scheme in-game to choose. Whether this free Diablo clone game is good or not later on, I don’t know since I’m only an hour in, but at least it works now with controllers.

For the Steamdeck, you need to boot the game up in “OS_MODE” first and run it through steam so you can sign in through firefox / etc, as the CEF browser used in Gamescope mode is rejected by google for signin.

once you’ve done that one time, will the game run flawlessly afterward beside occasional hiccups on initial boot.
