fuck them

What parameters are they using to block non-SD devices?
- The game uses Anti-Cheat Expert which notoriously blocks any device running Linux, other than the Steam Deck LCD (yes, OLED is blocked too)
  
  Based on what?
  
  Played the game for an hour or so on a Steam Deck OLED today. Works fine out of the box, didn't make any changes.
- What parameters are they using to block non-SD devices?
  The easiest one would be to check for the SteamDeck=1 variable.
  
  So if I added that as a launch argument it would work? Is it that simple?
