Nearly everything works out of the box
The game will sometimes freeze on menus for 10-20 seconds but this will only happen once every play session.
Some cutscenes don't work but also don't crash the game at all and can be skipped without issue.
Everything besides certain story mode cutscenes works perfectly, the game will sometimes freeze on menus for 10-20 seconds but never in gameplay.
xna40 was installed via protontricks but I'm unsure if it was necessary
Main Menu music is missing
Your character's hands are black and the texture when destroying a block is missing
When running with Proton Experimental the FPS would fluctuate around 4~11fps. Running with GE-Proton9-5 would crash on launch after logos. Proton 8.0-5 fixed all of this for me.
The lack of proper EAC support from the developers makes playing ranked impossible and playing online in general annoying.
-eac-nop-loaded
Using steam://launch/678950/option1 to disable EAC, although there's a better way to do it.
You can play online but only with people who also have EAC disabled
A simple patch from the Devs would make this perfect but it's still playable if you're trying to just play with friends, although they need to disable EAC.
No working online might turn away some but 40fps SinglePlayer with mods is the perfect BT4 for me.

The game will masively slow down when playing under 60fps IF you don't use the Engine.ini fix. Once you apply the fix, playing with all graphic settings on low-med with 80~ resolution will get you 40fps~. Could get much higher if your willing to sacrifice visuals.
Sometimes when clicking on something in the menu, the game will softlock and require a restart. It's pretty uncommon from my experience tho.
The Launch Option is only needed for Mods and is completely useless otherwise.
The game works perfectly OOTB
They finally added EAC support :)
2v8's UI can be difficult to read without increasing the size in settings
Resolution is super fucked on anything but windowed fullscreen
2v8 is a temporary mode but thought I'd include it because it may be permanently added in the future.
gldevice:Vulkan
It will crash when loading into a world without the Steam launch options, I never tested multiplayer but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Playable with minor issues, highly recommend a KB+M
Controls require massive tinkering to be enjoyable on the Steam Deck without a KB+M
Having a large amount of addons sometimes crashed the game, although I'm unsure if this was even a Proton issue and not just some outdated addon causing problems.
Works perfecly out of the box
Works perfectly and plays very nice using the Deck's trackpads. Worth noting that saves disappear anytime a update is released, this is a problem with the engine the game was developed in and has nothing to do with Linux or Proton.
The game plays fine OOTB with minor issues
The game doesn't seem to save changes made in settings for some reason
Resetting in training sometimes causes a slight lagspike
Works OOTB
Game is poorly optimized but you can still get around 60fps in most areas
Worked fine but throwing the Roaming Sentry Bot on the Hall of Justice stage would always cause desyncs. Unsure if this is because of proton or not.
The game works perfectly OOTB
I'd recommend increasing your sensitivity if your playing on the Deck, slow controller motions will get you killed on the harder challenges.
Can load into menus and view cutscenes, but crashes the second any kind of gameplay starts
I personally couldn't get the game to even start in Gaming Mode but seemed to work perfectly in Desktop Mode until attempting to actually start any kind of gameplay, in which it instantly crashes.
Installed the Restitched Mod, but this isn't needed and is completely optional.
The game will ONLY boot in Desktop Mode, attempting to boot in Gaming Mode will result in infinite loading.
FPS tanks like crazy during combos, playing on lowest resolution seems to minimize the problem.
It feels good to finally say that KILL la KILL -IF works on the Steam Deck, with the caveat of it only booting in Desktop Mode with GE-Proton9-20, and having major performance issues.
"Is it even worth playing in this condition?" That depends entirely on you and what your looking to get out of it.
Beta doesn't currently work, and even if it did it runs at 20-25fps on lowest
Proton 9.0-3 gets you past the shader issue, disabling upscaling lets you see the main menu background & cutscenes but gameplay + character creator still renders nothing. Attempting to play the game blind will eventually hard crash the Steam Deck.
No EAC support
Everything seems to work perfectly but you'll be kicked out of any matches due to EAC

99% of mods on GameBanana work but strangely some specific mods like "Dojima's Coffee" will always crash. Only certain builds of P4G CEP kinda work, I'd recommend just downloading all the Mods individually.
Launch P4G at least once then use Protontricks to download the prerequisites needed for Reloaded II into the P4G prefix. Launch Reloaded II using Protontricks in P4G's prefix, click on P4G on the left, (click add application if it's not there), edit application, and set the path to P4G.exe. Go to Advanced Tools, enable auto inject, and click Deploy ASI Loader. Make sure you set the launch settings in Steam. If it's crashing try removing mods until you find the problem. Majority of them work, load order matters and one mod might be overwriting another if they aren't showing up.
Works OOTB and is pretty fun with interesting AI for the "Monster"
Save randomly disappeared multiple times, may have been because I moved the downloaded location back and forth a lot.
15 fps on lowest settings
Works OOTB
Game will say you need a update when launching, ignore it.
Requires a large amount of tinkering and 'Scene' and 'Video' wallpapers currently do not work, but everything else seems to work.
Installed and set up Wallpaper Engine KDE Plugin on Discover in Desktop mode
'Scene' and 'Video' wallpapers do not work currently
- konsole command: sudo steamos-readonly disable && sudo pacman-key --init && sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux
- Install Wallpaper Engine on Steam and "Wallpaper Engine KDE Plugin" on Discover
- konsole command: sudo pacman -Syy && sudo pacman -S qt5-declarative qt5-websockets qt5-webchannel python-websockets
- Restart Steam Deck
- Right Click anywhere on the Desktop, click "Configure Desktop and Wallpaper"
- Change the "Wallpaper Type" dropdown box to "Wallpaper Engine for KDE"
- Click "Library" then Right Click and click "Show Hidden Folders"
- Navigate to /home/deck/.local/share/Steam and click"'OK"
Any wallpaper downloaded from Wallpaper Engine itself or the Steam Workshop should appear, as mentioned before 'Scene' and 'Video' wallpapers currently do not work. The folder may be somewhere else if you didn't download Wallpaper Engine on the Internal Drive.
