Warframe Steam Deck input configuration files

Primary LanguageShell

Zia's Integrated Deckframe

A Steam Input profile for Warframe on Steam Deck, fully compatible with Echoes of Duviri. Fixes numerous issues with the official configuration, and uses a combination of Steam Input actions, mouse and keyboard bindings to provide a much more fluid and integrated experience which takes full advantage of the Deck's input capabilities.

Current Version:

v1.0.1

Features and Bindings

Much of the controls are the defaults, but there are several adjustments and additions:

  • Left Stick: Move / Sprint (when at outer edge)

  • L1: Roll / Blink

  • R1: Melee (B is still also mapped to this.)

  • L4: Crouch / Slide, Descend

  • R4: Jump, Ascend

  • L5: Use selected ability

  • R5: Ability menu replacement

    • Reimplemented as an action layer setup due to the built-in one interrupting crouching/sliding, sprinting and aim gliding.
    • Order is X, A, Y, B. (Directions should feel familiar to rhythm game players.)
    • DPad Up: Tactical Menu (Railjack)
    • DPad Left: Inspect
    • DPad Right: Equip Omni
    • Quick press and release: Use selected ability
    • Invert Tap/Hold settings are applied from the Controller section of the Options screen.

  • DPad Down: Transference

  • Menu Button (left side): Show quick progress screen

    • Start Button: Toggle overlay map
    • X, A, Y, B: Abilities via vanilla Ability Menu. Switching fishing/conservation equipment requires this method!

  • Right Trackpad: Camera / Aiming (as mouse)

    • Click: Altfire / Heavy Attack
    • Be aware that the sensitivity is set to 200% to better expose the trackpad's resolution. Tweak your ingame look sensitivity accordingly.

  • Left Trackpad (click): Access Gear Wheel. Slide to select, click again to use selected item; release to cancel out of menu.

    • Also used to access Decrees.
    • Due to Steam Input limitations, this will behave strangely in other menus. Stick sensitivity has been adjusted to minimize impact.

  • Fixed Shawzin controls (replaced most of them with their equivalent keyboard bindings since the Actions are currently nonfunctional.)

    • *R4 or Menu Button: Switch scale
    • Whammy functionality not working; it will return when the game itself is fixed.

Installation

Due to some details of how Warframe behaves, the input configuration won't be fully functional without key bindings that can't be set in the game itself if it's running through Steam on a Steam Deck. This script will install a replacement config file with all the bindings you need, plus a set of reasonable defaults for the Deck. (This only affects keybindings, input and graphics settings. Your previous configuration will be backed up.)

  1. Switch your Steam Deck to desktop mode and navigate to this page. (https://github.com/zetaprime/wf-sd)
  2. Download the installer file, drag it onto the desktop and double-click it. (If you're using Firefox, the file will be named wf-sd-install.desktop.download; rename it to wf-sd-install.desktop before trying to run it.)
  3. Copy the link to the current version into a Steam message, switch to Gaming Mode, open the conversation and tap on the link; apply the layout from the resulting screen. (Apologies for the clunky workaround; Community Layout publishing seems to be broken.)
  4. Launch the game and modify your in-game settings according to the Recommended Settings.
  5. Enjoy!
    • Alternatively, if you'd rather do it manually instead of trusting a script you found on the internet, you can download EE.cfg and copy it into /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/230410/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Warframe using your file manager.

Recommended Settings
