The Verge noted that Valve has responded to recent problems Steam Deck users have with accessing the online mode of the open-world crime thriller GTA V from Rockstar Games.
Let us remind you that due to the addition of the anti-cheat BattlEye to the PC version of GTA Online, the mode stopped running on the Steam Deck – Rockstar did not ensure compatibility of the game on Valve’s portable PC with the anti-cheat program.
Although in fact BattlEye has been able to function on Linux devices like Steam Deck for a long time (developers just need to contact the anti-cheat team), Rockstar shifted the blame for the situation to Valve.
As it became known, Valve responded by changing the compatibility status of GTA V from “Playable” to “Not Supported”, citing as the reason that “this game’s anti-cheat is not configured to support Steam Deck.”
Despite limited compatibility, GTA V is one of the most popular games on the Steam Deck. The crime thriller is a regular on the chart of the most popular projects on a portable PC, opened in June.
Against the backdrop of the situation, user reviews of GTA V on Steam in the period after the release of the BattlEye update became “mostly negative” – only 37% of reviews out of more than 1.6 thousand since September 17 were positive.
Meanwhile, cheaters have already broken through the protective barriers of BattlEye and again flooded the PC version of GTA Online, and there are fewer honest players in the mode due to restrictions for Linux and Steam Deck users.
