I’ll be going on a business trip soon but still want to play War Thunder. I’m considering buying a Steam Deck, but I’ve seen comments on some video platforms claiming that using a Steam Deck led to account bans. I want to ask:
1.Is there any truth to the claim that using a Steam Deck can result in account bans?
2.Can the Steam Deck run War Thunder smoothly?
Looking for clarification before making a purchase. Thanks!
Depending on the price of steam deck you intend to purchase, I’d say a middle range laptop would work better and be a bit safer
okay, thank you
What are you intending to get one for (price)?
The budget is 400-500 US dollars, mainly for convenience of carrying. The laptop also needs to carry a charger, which may not be possible under outdoor working conditions
Oh in that case a steamdeck would likely serve better, especially outdoors without a reliable power source as most laptops start going insane when not plugged in
I’m not sure why they would get banned because of the Steam Deck—maybe they used cheat software on the PC? If I just use the official Steam channel to install and play War Thunder on the Steam Deck, it should be fine, right?
I don’t know about Steam Deck specifically but I am running Arch and had no issues with that. I see no reason why Steam Deck would be treated differently.
From what I have seen on youtube it seems to run it just fine.
