Once Proton version was changed I was able to play the entire game from beginning to end with no major issues.
If Proton 9.0 was not forced the game would not let me select OK when trying to Exit the game
If Proton is not change the biggest obstacle would be that you would have to force close the game using the Steam menu to exit.
I have run through the beginning portion and as of yet have not had any game breadking issues or crashes.
The game does not like to work on 30FPS, this includes both in-game settings or SteamDeck settings. Setting both to 60 lets the game work as expected without framerate issues.
Early on the opening cinematic did not work. It has been working after an update back in May
Setting the framerate to 60 and medium graphics settings for smoothest gameplay.
So far the only sound issue is the opening video for RE Engine, rest of the game has been perfect.
Have played various hunts with friends and strangers with performance being the same as any other online game
Pretty much works out of the box on Steam Deck
Minimal amount of online playtime, just about half an hour, but no issues during this time.
Most settings are on High except for Ambient Occlusion but I still maintain a very solid 60fps
While the sound issue with headphones is annoying, the performance and gameplay works well at 30FPS
In-Game fps set to 30
Have to sign into EA account at least once, easiest to do this in Desktop mode
Databank entries can have small text and are very difficult to read if the game is not played at native resolution
Only sound issues appear when I open the Menu
Fog is an issue even on higher graphics settings. There are times when entering the ship the NPCs will appear to be in complete shadow no matter the amount of light
Had one instance going from Windowed to Fullscreen that the game would then not recognize my controller and took going into Desktop mode until I was able to fix the issue. Continued to play the rest of the game in Windowed mode without significant issues
Issue with controller only happened when changing from Windowed to Fullscreen once. Since then no more controller issues have ocurred
Performance always lags when pressing Start and navigating the menu, FPS goes down to ~24fps no matter the settings and sound will crackle
I played the first 70% without a crash, then I had a few issues in Dathomir but that could have been due to changing other graphic/display options.
This issue was only when trying to use headphones and might be an issue with my device specifically, but when plugging in headphones the volume would get stuck at whatever the sound was set to BEFORE launching the game. If the volume was at 20% and I launch the game, the volume up and down don't actually change volume, the slider will appear but the volume will stay at the same 20%. I would need to quit the game, move the volume to what I wanted it to be and relaunch for the volume to be at what I wanted.
Playing at 30fps I was able to set Graphics to High, except for Shadows (Medium) and the game ran relatively solid throughout except for the menu, but that was annoying and didnt stop me from enjoying the rest of the game
