Once the screen resolution was fixed ran really smoothly.
Framerate capped at 45 fps
Item tooltips are very small and dont entirely fit in the screen
Choose the x64 launch option - it seemed to give better performance. Grim Dawn actually seems to perform better on my Steam Deck than on my expensive gaming PC !
A couple of reports mention having to tinker to get the 64 bit version running. I just ran it straight from steam. Zero issues.

I used the Portal Provider launch option to access the non-Steam Guild Wars 2 Launcher.
Text is small, but can be adjusted in game.
I used one of the communiy control layouts which used an action camera. It was good, but because your key binds are saved at the server changing key binds for Steamdeck will change your key binds for the PC too! Once I realised this I set my keybinds back to what I liked and tweaked the community layout instead.
Also, for the best experience on the Steam deck I recommend usingthe action camera.
Framerate limited to 45 FPS (both in Steam and in the game). Thermal Power limit set to 15 Watts
EA App crashed first time. I had to force close it (after waiting 5 minutes). On all subsequent tries however the EA app has run, minimised itself after a couple of seconds and caused no issues.
Saves on Steam deck dont sync reliably to cloud. On several occassions I picked up game on PC and discovered the last save from the Steam Deck wasnt available.
Easy install. Game works pretty much out of the box, excluding that first experience where the EA launcher crashed, but that only happened once. However the game requires an internet connection to launch, which limits its usability on the Steam deck.
