Is F1 24 Steam Deck compatible? For racing fans looking to get their fix on the go, F1 24 won't be how you get it as it's now officially rated as Uned following the inclusion of a non-compatible anti-cheat software.
Finding the Steam Deck compatibility tools like Proton and Wine are uned, meaning the game simply will not start.
Is F1 24 Steam Deck compatible?
F1 24 has been rated as Uned for Steam Deck due to EA's anti-cheat solution being incompatible with Linux.
Upon attempting to boot F1 24 on Steam Deck, with or without a Proton compatibility tool enabled, I am met with the following message;
"The program encountered E111000B at 00001E83 during initialization. Wine, Proton, and Steam Deck are not ed by this application"
This message is very clear. F1 24 is not ed on Steam Deck, and unless a major update changes this, there appears to be no way around it, at least when launching directly from SteamOS. This is most likely due to a new anti-cheat being added to the game, but this has not yet been confirmed.
It should be noted that this testing was done during a small pre-release window, and if the situation changes post-release, I will be sure to retest the game and discover the best settings for playing on Valve's portable powerhouse.
