Without the older version the controller didn't work
Used 8W average on deck at max settings, according to Decky battery tracker. 60fps all the way. Now I'm off to find some mods...
Excellent experience with Proton
Worked straight out of the box. Didn't try linking EA account so no clue if that would work - but then again why would you even try that? It just works as it is.
Limited TDP to 10w.
Works straight out of the box. Stable experience, no issues. I limited TDP to 10w and I am still able to hold 60fps not a single problem.
First everything worked fine. After some changes in Video-Serttings I got the blue-green-screen. As no ingame-settings where avaible anymore because of blue-green-screen, I edited the config.ini in simulated %AppData%-Folder to basic settings and it worked again.
After stwitching to desktop and back i get a blackscreen
Blank screen everywhere outside the menu
Tried latest experimental, proton9 and 8 both have the same problem. Game launches fine however when in the game, nothing but black screen.
OLED Deck, 60 FPS cap, TDP set to 5W, GPU clock to 500MHz
I like using the high preset and just lowering shadow quality to medium in order to keep the framerate more stable. Motion blur doesn't seem to have an effect on performance, I keep it on because of personal preference.
Medium settings preset, 5W TDP, 500MHz GPU
"Could not find a copy of Burnout(TM) Paradise installed." when the game is owned withing EA Play and not Steam
-skipvideos
If the game is owned only in EA not Steam it will print the following error: "Could not find a copy of Burnout(TM) Paradise installed." Starting the game withing EA Play or via adding the game to the Steam lib does result in the same error. Tried fixing it by installing EA Play via Lutris and winetricks without success.
Has anyone made this special scenario work?
This fires right up and runs like a dream. It does ask you to sign into an EA account before you play, that which I assumed was gonna be mandatory...but it's actually not! I was able to just back out and play the game without signing in. No qualms here. Runs perfect.

Starts up perfectly. Ran on big picture mode 3400x1440p ultrawide resolution no problem. Dualsense controller not working. Using Wayland
when changing graphics settings in-game, after the pause the entire screen gets covered with pink artifacts. solved by simply rebooting the game.
if you experience problems with the game crashing on startup, you must first obtain the Steamworks Common Redistributables {by installing another game that provides them, for example.} for whatever reason, the game does not provide the redistributables, leading to it not installing DirectX, which leads to the game crashing on startup.
Game was set to run at 30 FPS
Very minor issues with some sound queues cutting off or repeating; the in-game radio got muffled during regular driving presumably due to a bug, which is weird because it is normally an in-game feature; it got fixed by waiting before igniting the engine when exiting a junkyard; otherwise the game runs fine at defaults.
Game was accessed through family sharing. It is also a little battery-hungry even at 30FPS. Otherwise I highly recommend it!
Just installed it, was confused about it's status but it just works. (minus the missing online servers, no MP / DLC store)
Haven't played a lot, imported my old savegame manually in Desktop mode, works great in freeroam. 60fps on default settings.
Cars in the vehicle select screen still load as slow as it was on Windows/harddrive. Login to the server does not work because they are offline. This means you have to modify your save to enable DLCs because Steam doesn't have them included by default.
It does ask you to login with your EA Origin account in an ingame menu (not a separate launcher or window), but thankfully it's not required to play the game.
If it doesn't correctly install, you get a few blue-green gradients followed by black screens. The input seemed to still work judging by the audio, but my muscle memory wasn't good enough to get into the game. Reinstalling the game fixed it easily.
Valve probably didn't verify the integrity of the game, either that or used a version of proton that didn't work with the game.
Half Rate Shading, TDP limit of 5w, could probably lower GPU clock frequency too
Sometimes it showed Keyboard inputs instead of Controller inputs, purely visual and didnt affect input
Servers are offline, logging in with EA Account fails to connect to server
40hz/40fps mode
60Hz, TDP Limit to 8W
Take note though that you'll need to decline on the EA account sign-in every time you launch the game.
40hz system setting
Original servers shut down August 1st 2019
Can't connect to servers.
Playable. You must enter credentials to connect to EA but it won't connect. Running 60 fps at max settings.
Something to note is that you may be forced to login in to an EA Account which I did but supposedly you do not have to
Can run stable 60 fps with max settings (max AA, SSAO on etc.) Has no black-screen issue, like the remastered version has on Steam Deck, and doesn't use any DRM (apart from standard Steam DRM, Remastered version uses that, but also Denuvo AND Origin DRM) or Origin-launcher (like the remastered version does)
1152x720 aspect set to 16:10 50hz fsr on sharpness 5 about 5hrs and 10m from 3 hrs
no steam cloud support for the game. otherwise its all fine.
medium settings for fidelity, both resolutions
Great on Deck! Default graphics options work tremendously well, and highest settings are great at 30 FPS. 40hz is not smooth; stick with 60.
At 60 FPS, the game draws 15w of power. To mitigate this, a 30 FPS limit was applied in Steam's performance settings. This reduced power draw to 8w.
Some frame stuttering at 60 FPS using default (medium) graphics settings. Steam Deck's 40hz mode is not smooth due to the game's 60hz target. 30 FPS produces the most stable and smooth experience.
Additional notes and musings:
- Skip account creation/sign-in at first launch. There's no benefit + input isn't easy on the Steam Deck.
- Title supports 800p.
Run game on lowest setting. TDP locked to 4W
Incredibly well optimized, never drops FPS on max settings and the GPU never goes beyond 70%. It's perfect out of the box.
Game runs flawlessly on the Steam Deck with zero tinkering. Just install and launch. Behaves same on current stable and beta OS builds.
works perfect out of the box, no tinkering at all
Not working only music and placeholder image on start up. Tried GE - Experimental and Stable Proton and got the same result.
Works perfect out of the box using proton GE. Smooth 60fps at high settings without any audio issues or stutters.
The game's menus & cutscenes have black bars at the top and the bottom - but in game the content fills the entire screen on Steam Deck.
