Capped to 45fps with default Proton. Heavy stuttering on 7.0.6
Default Proton locks the game to 45fps, and the game slows down. Switching to Proton 7.0.6 fixes this and allows up to 90fps, but with heavy stuttering. Locking the fps down to 60fps didn't help either.
Enable "Synch to screen" for 90fps on Steam Deck OLED. Game runs perfectly at 90fps even at the maximum resolution of 1600x1200 (force a higher internal resolution in steam game properties first).
As of March 1st 2023, works at 60fps on all stages without mods, assuming correct graphics settings.
Patch 1.25 optimized some of the laggier stages. My optimised settings after testing/matches:
Resolution: 1280x720.
Image Quality Settings: Start from a baseline of 'High'.
Scaling resolution: 80%.
Effect Quality: Best (In order to remove blurriness).
Anti-Alias: MSAA (Doesn't seem to affect performance much so might as well).
Motion Blur: Up to preference.
If you want less input lag turn Shadow Quality to low. Remember to also put Allow tearing 'on' and frame rate limit 'off' in the quick menu, if you want the lowest input lag possible. Setting the gpu clock manually to max 1600hz seemed to improve frame consistency as well.
If you notice any dips you can always turn the resolution scale down by 10%, but from my testing I didn't get any dips even on the forest stage with these settings.
If playing on Oled, make sure to increase the framerate cap in the in-game settings so you can get 90fps. Certain (short) segments will drop down to 60fps.
