Runs around 20-30fps after changing graphics settings, but suffers from occasional hard freezes
Dropped all settings to low. Set in-game frame cap to 60fps, and the Deck's cap to 40fps. Also used Intel Xess upscaling w/ either the 'performance' or 'balance' setting.
Some hover text, like when looking at match modifiers, is very small & hard to read. Other text is generally fine.
Frames can be a bit jumpy in matches. On average around 20-35fps. When there's a lot of bugs on the screen fps can drop to 15, 10, or lower in very extreme cases.
Occasional hard freezing (without crashing) on starting up the game, loading into a match, or while in a match. The game has to be forcibly stopped in such cases.
While installing I had a hard freeze which required a force quit, and on the first couple times starting the game I also had hard freezes before I reached the main menu. These seemed to be somewhat incremental, and 3rd time was a clean run.
Once I changed the compat layer to ULWGL-Proton-8.0-5-3, adjusted the graphics settings, and dialed in the the fps, I had a lot of fun playing this on the deck. Reasonably good framerates in most cases, graphics were ok enough, and battery time from full is around 3-4 hours. You can also cap TDP to 10 to squeeze some extra battery life, for a little less performance in the more intensive parts of the game. The hard freezing was almost a bit of a deal-breaker, but in my experience changing the compat layer helped (mostly) clear that up.
