Make sure to use GE Proton and it should work out of the box.

Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental

Control Layout:Switch To Gamepad

Instability:Occasionally

Thanks to another player I got the game stabilized by adding launch options: PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 taskset -c 0-3 %command%

the proton_no_fsync=1 was crucial to me getting past a save point early in the game in the flytrap mission.

Tinker Steps:Switch to older version: 7.0-4, Set launch options

DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 taskset -c 0-7 %command%

Graphics:Other

Some texture issues on the tendrils when consuming, everything else was perfect

Instability:Occasionally

3-4 crashes throughout the entire 100% playthrough. The game autosaves frequently so not much progress is lost if it does crash.

Thanks to the Linux commenters below for the startup command to get this working.

Played through to 100% completion, though I would only recommend if you are very determined to play this on steam deck.

Runs perfectly on Steam Deck

You start off with lower resolution and settings when starting for the first time, but max settings at 800p won't hold a stable 60 fps (floats between 50-60 a bit when much happens on-screen), either lower the fps-limit (like 40 or 50) or lower the settings. Didn't crash once for me.

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE-Proton7-16

Control Layout:Switch To Gamepad

Works great but you need a compatible version. My "Prototype 2 + Radnet Retail (RU)" Steam cd key was not working, black screen on start & crash. I removed it from my account and took the game directly from Steam. It's a different package and this one is working without any issue

Has crashed a few times when alot is going on. Most have been after using the first special mass ability. Game auto saves really well so worst case, redoing part of a mission.

Game runs very well. Even when you are doing ALOT, and the screen space is filled with effects, it runs over 30fps.
