Deathloop is known for having issues on PC. Issues like VRam memory leaks, choppy audio, choppy frames and random crashing. Same issues persist here. On top of that though this game loves to hard crash reboot the Steam Deck even with the FPS limiter disabled. Definitely do not recommend this game!

When I moved SM:R to my SD Card. SM:R gave me an error saying it couldn't find the save folder and therefore couldn't save anymore. On top of that my Steam Cloud freaked out complaining about synchronization issues and refused to fix itself.
The solution to my problem? I changed the default Proton to Proton GE and then back and then everything worked again.
I assume what happened was that moving the game screwed with right to folder accesses and that changing the Proton version deleted and reinstalled the fake virtual C Drive, fixing the access issue. I don't know if changing to Proton GE was necessary to fix it or if any switch to any version would do since I haven't tested it. But if another user has this problem and doesn't have GE already installed I recommend testing out other Proton versions before installing GE.
Aside from that SM:R runs like a dream~ And looks beautiful too!

On Proton 7.0-6 the screen is black unless you turn off Post Processing Effects but turning off PPE results in the lighting becoming nonfunctional.
On Native the game crashes at entering the first hatch in the snow storm.
The lighting being nonfunctional makes the game essentially unplayable. You could turn up the gamma but since Penumbra is a horror game that totally ruins the mood and isn't exactly an option.
Aside from that the game runs great! :D
Audio glitches at the start of a specific music track. Happens on Windows too.
Works well out of the box. Doesn't play well with Steam Overlay because it's an old game. Only thing you have to do is configure your own controls. All in all pretty good.

Origin Thin sometimes borks itself making the game unlaunchable. Fixed itself after some time.
At the time of writing playable again.
TF2 runs beautifully on the Deck right out the box! But... The Origin installer can sometimes randomly bork itself out of nowhere. Maybe you'll be able to fix it by switching to an older Proton version, maybe you won't. If it's not fixable the game just becomes unplayable for you for who knows how long until it fixes itself again. This can happen to all games that need third party launchers (Origin, Ubisoft, etc.) Users beware...

Cutscenes: If you enable the SD frame limiter, some cutscenes get their audio and image horribly distorted and heavy crackling gets introduced until the video totally hangs up. Can be skipped with menu button though. But even if you don't some cutscenes play with no visuals and just a black image.
No graphical issues in gameplay.
If you want to play TR1 for the first time and care about watching the cutscenes, this version isn't for you. But if you already played it or watch the cutscenes on YouTube. I don't see why this version isn't perfectly fine.

Colors are weird. Not garrish or broken... just weird. In comparison to the Windows version.
Everytime you die the game hard freezes and there's nothing you can do to unfreeze it. You can stop this from happening by loading the game before Lara dies but you need the reflexes for that! If you don't or you forget have fun killing the process through Steam Layout and relaunching the game :)
Cutscenes are borked.
I disagree with others that the experience here is acceptable. Better to just play this version somewhere else.
SOUND 0 to SOUND 1 in config.txt in steamapps/common/Tomb Raider (III)
Audio doesn't play is completely missing in gameplay and the Tinker steps don't fix it.
Not a very acceptable user experience. Better play it somewhere else.

Cutscenes are black.
Gameplay runs well, cutscenes are the problem here by being completely black.

Cutscenes are completely black.
Good for pure gameplay. But not for purists or first-timers.
