Change Proton version to Steam-Play-None (installation required)
Every Proton version I tried causes microstutters which are very annoying
As many others mentioned, you need to install Steam-Play-None (https://github.com/Scrumplex/Steam-Play-None) for smooth gameplay. In fact, if you have ProtonQT-up installed, in only takes a few seconds to do so (just make sure it's up-to-date).
Without it, I was seriously getting nausea, it's not even funny.
Slight black artifacts on grass.
Runs and looks pretty great on the Deck. For consistency, use 40Hz/FPS mode. With GE Proton 49, there are no audio/cutscene issues. The slight black outlines on the grass aren't annoying to me at all. On the first start it didn't detect the Steam controller, needed to adjust it on the Steam Input overlay. Exiting the game seems to hang it, but this caused no issues so far.
With mixed medium to high settings, I'm constantly sitting on 50fps w/ 50Hz. There is no support for 1280x800 though, so it runs in 1280x720 (or at least I couln't find the option).
Some text are very-very small, but not a deal breaker for me.
Regardless of settings, the game is poorly optimized - regardless of platform.
Overall a great game and an acceptable experience, but something is seriously wrong "under the hood". Having performance issues on an RTX2080 as well, so not related to the Deck or Linux.
The game runs constantly close to 60FPS with medium and high settings. I recommend the Proton version vs. the native port for better performance.
You can increase the text size in the settings.
Use Proton GE, because the default version won't show the cinematics, just black screen. Overall great experience!
