set resolution to 1280x800 and video settings to medium and gave fun with 60 fps with minimal 45 fps on hard scene

A lot of the emails/notes were a bit small. It's ok for my eyesight, but I did notice I was holding the steam deck closer to my face.
Really good value on the Steam Deck. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Collectible documents may be hard to read in handheld, but not on monitor.
random lag, but only for a few seconds

Video episodes now work fine on Proton Experimental, and apparently even on regular Proton as of the latest update, but I haven't tried it. They are streamed from Microsoft's (poor) servers and can pause to buffer pretty regularly however, no matter how good your internet connection is. Medium settings look good and can net you a pretty stable 40fps with SteamOS built-in cap, but some areas (mostly during non combat scenarios) can drop to the mid-30fps. I advise capping the game to 30fps for a perfectly stable experience if that's what you like, as the motion blur is well implemented and makes the game look decently smooth. Input lag can feel pretty high but that's a quirk of the game itself and feels similar to other Remedy games. Disabling Vsync can help a little with it.

After the recent proton experimental update the bitrate of the movies is fixed. The game is now fully functional and on the deck at medium settings you get a very good frame rate.

A good game tarnished by Microsoft's awful servers. Ignoring those, this is an exciting time-travel shooter, with that classic Remedy touch.
If you're sat with arms outstretched, some text on notes and other collectible lore pieces can be difficult to distinguish.
This isn't even a bug, just genuine Microsoft incompetence. After each act, an episode of the Quantum Break TV show is designed to play to accompany the main game, however these episodes do not play and instead leave you with a black screen constantly "buffering" due to Microsoft's atrocious servers. Wouldn't be surprised if these servers get shut down for good sometime soon.
If you like Control or Alan Wake, this might be fun to try out.

stuttering
The game's implementation of VSYNC causes the game to stutter when you pan the camera even with medium settings at a solid 40hz on deck. If you want buttery smooth gameplay: disable ingame VSYNC, make a textfile called dxvk.conf open it and add the following line: "dxgi=syncInterval = 1" (exactly, case sensitive!) save the file and move it to the game's main directory (not the \bin folder) where the *launcher.exe file is located. This forces proton vsync instead. No more stutters. Enjoy!

Reduced graphics to medium though the Steam Deck can champion max graphics
Game crashes when tries to play the TV show segments
Game crashes trying to play the TV show segments but they are available on youtube
The live action videos didn't play, except for the recaps.

Other then broken online episodes (that are watchable on youtube) it ran suprisingly well (medium preset). Some very minor performance drops
Some stuttering in cutscenes
Online episodes between chapters don't work: black screen and stuck buffering. Other cutscenes / movies work fine

I wasn't able to get 60fps but I was able to get a very stable 30fps with everything set to medium.
