Deck tanks to 45 FPS every now and then.

performance drops a fair bit in towns but not in combat which i have locked at 45fps which the deck maintains no problem
steam is set to run with proton 9 which runs fine

Steam Deck keyboard would not pop up when entering character name. Used PC to get past that part.
I couldn't get Steam Deck keyboard to pop up when entering characters name at the beginning. I used my PC to get past that part.
Otherwise runs well for Steam Deck, with no tinkering.

SteamDeck=0 %command%
Keyboard Text input does not work if playing in Desktop Mode on the deck. Setting an environment variable forcing the game as if it isn't on a Steam Deck is required to remedy this.

Set L4 for sprint , R4 for opening the Game command (Emoji / Crew Burst Switch)
Most of the time, in area that is populated, which in this case is the Village/Town Area. The performance can go below 30 FPS (27 the minimum i ever get) . Outside that, it just work fine and stable.
Game run stable at 30FPS, however not at 60fps as it fluctuate between 40-55 FPS. Limit deck frame to 40 if you want to play. If not, just stick to 30FPS . Battle and online work flawlessly. The only time i see performance drop is during a scene which mostly happening at Village/Town. The area itself seems not properly optimised. Using Cryoutilities and use recommended settings and changing UMA Buffer to 4 can bring a lil bit of performance. However, it is not recommended if you can play it stable at 30fps. Do it at your own risk.

When in town game experiencing slight fps drop from 30fps
Overall run perfectly out of the box, stable 30 FPS just having slight fps drop in town from 30 in some scenes. Overall perfect game for the steam deck, might be playable in more stable 30+ fps with more updates and patches

Could launch and play with no issues. Some Steam reviews mention something about crashes during the intro before the title screen on inputs but that did not happen either.
