I've recently installed Freelancer on my Steamdeck. To get Discovery to work, I had to install it from lutris, then copy the installed program from my window machine to the steam deck and over write the folder that's there.
After doing that, I can now get into Discovery, but when I try to login, the game never connects. I can ping the server from my Windows 10 machine and it connections properly, but when I try to pint the sever from the my steam deck, it times out after Hop 8. Hops 9 and 10 would be where I connect to the server.
steamdeck runs off of linux im pretty sure which is a huge can of worms that i know nothing about, and discovery doesnt like linux
theres like two resident linux players afaik and i havent seen them in a while
though i assume youre just using the steamdeck to play freelancer remotely off your desktop?
I am not familiar with Steam Deck but I am familiar with Linux. You may PM me in Discord by groshyrka for installation/launch guide, I will try to help
