The only thing missing from this game is an official controller layout. If you've played this on PC in the past, playing on Deck will take some getting used to.
The default control scheme Steam picks for this game works flawlessly. It's a point and click type game and the touchpads work well for this.
Ubisoft Connect seemed to have trouble pulling down saves at first, but the issue resolved itself after launching in desktop mode. After that I've experienced zero issues regarding saves.
Aside from the initial save sync issue, this game is pretty flawless. I did disable the overlay in Ubisoft Connect as per the other report.
All menu text appears very pixelated and ranges from barely readable to unreadable. All in-game text such as subtitles renders just fine.
The game appears to ignore the option to launch in DirectX 12 mode, it will launch in DirectX 11 mode no matter what. Strangly enough the benchmark will respect the setting and run in DirectX 12 mode if selected.
I bound the buttons to the default keyboard bindings in the game. I shared this as a community layout named "Steam Deck Layout." The game is borderline unplayable with the default layout.
It seems Steam could add some improvement here by allowing the Steam Deck controler to spoof an Xbox (xinput) or PS controller. I got the game to work by creating a custom controller layout bound to keyboard controls as the game seemed to ignore the controller otherwise.
