Game will occasionally crash prior to a cutscene. Maybe it will work the next launch, maybe it wont. Maybe it will next week, maybe it never will. It seems completely random when the game gets "stuck" and crashes on a point.
Most crashes can be gotten past but you can lose progress. Annoying but not a show stopper
You can briefly circumvent the offline mode play issue by making sure to launch the game once in online mode before you set the deck to offline mode and leave the house. Obnoxious and unnecessary restriction. Not suitable for extended (longer than a couple days) of offline mode play, i.e do not buy before deployment overseas or something
Unplayable on steam deck for any amount of time unless you stay out of cars (impossible to progress in story this way)
First launch, uplay error, fine after
You will experience near 0 frames when driving, some fights will cause slowdowns to ~10-20 FPS at times
Crashes when loading cutscenes occasionally
Without a fix for the driving FPS drop, unplayable on the deck for anything but running around on foot
Most people would give up when it wouldn't launch the first time. Modded game experience is different then on Windows.
Used to install mods/patch
If you are playing unmodded, if you try and launch in gaming mode it will not work. If you switch to desktop mode and launch from steam you will see the configuration window that appears. You have to switch the names of the koikatsu.exe and init config.exe I'd you want to launch in gaming mode unmodded
In the mod menu at launch, you cannot check any of the boxes.
If playing modded, it doesn't seem possible to remove the censoring even with the Illusion patch. Exact same game file played on windows and then the Deck had 2 very different experiences with the mods.
It's 75% of the windows experience when modded. Unmodded you need to fiddle with a lot to get it to work. Don't forget to shut off auto updates because you won't want to do this twice. Save yourself even more trouble and just copy it over from windows into the file here if modding.
