Set the ingame FPS and Steam Deck hardware frame cap at 30fps
Downloaded, installed and launched the game with no issues. Worked well with the default template controls.

Elder Scrolls Online Launch window will flicker in and out of view while ingame. To resolved this, after clicking "Play", quickly click either the close the launcher or minimize it. This will prevent the launch window from popping into view.
Initially the game will not naively recognize the Deck's "Gamepad with Joystick Trackpad" layout. Required to change ingame settings. To do this an external keyboard and mouse or change Deck's default controller layout to "Keyboard (WASD) & Mouse" to access ingame settings.
Once logged into a character, access the Settings > Gameplay > Gamepad Mode, change to "on". Exit game, if needed change controller layout back to "Gamepad with Joystick Trackpad". Launch game, will need to use touch screen the click "Play" and select character. When logged into a character gamepad controller will work.
Launch options are required or wont be able to complete the install because of errors about limited hard drive space.
Need external keyboard and mouse or change Deck's default controller layout to "Keyboard (WASD) & Mouse". Required as the AnyInstall.exe will display as a solid black box, simple hit the "Enter" key to complete install.
By default the auto detect setting selects the "low" profile for the graphics options. I selected the "Ultra" settings with no issues.
I opted to run the game locked at 30FPS to save more battery, but playable at 60FPS no problem
Game worked amazing until around the 15 minute mark, only halfway of single run. Afterward, performance continues to dip until unplayable.
Around the 20 minute mark the game dropped to about 15fps. Around the 25 minute mark dropped to 5fps to 10fps. Made it to the 30 minute mark using a AoE building requiring little movement.
