Field Guide reading
What this dispatch changes
Handheld compatibility affects input readability, panel interaction, text scale, and sustained performance. Compatibility status does not replace a practical check of the current control layout and the live Steam compatibility panel.
Operator actions
- Verify the current Steam Deck compatibility status on the live store page.
- Test map drawing, calculator input, gun controls, and text legibility before a timed mission.
- Use the current Controls menu when a community layout conflicts with on-screen prompts.
