If you use the default version of proton youll have extremely common crashes, but changing to 6.3.8 isnt straightforward, when you downgrade it initially wont be able to install the launcher (ive replicated this same behavior on pc arch and it was identicle) you have to install it via a different version of proton 6 (i used 6.21 GE 2) and then it will freeze during installation, youll have to hard reset. and then after hard reseting switch to 6.3.8 and it will complete installation without further issues, no more crashes at least not after 2+ hours of play so far.
After most recent red dead update proton 6.3.8 no longer launches, neither does 7.0.4, experimental installs, and runs, apears to work fully with no crashes so far (one hour of play so far)

use this fix on deck to end the crashing issue, will instead result in ocassional lag spikes, but much better than crashes, and the lag spikes are not common
jumped the gun on my previus report, just switching to experimental crashes on deck (although pc crashes are hardware dependant)
Only glitch i experienced was that it sometimes fails to display the correct controller controls (example when it initially tells you to open the menu it sometimes will say tab instead of the button) otherwize flawless and this glitch only happened once the first time i ran it. even then other controls were all displayed properly
long as you dont want to mod it runs fine, and modding from scratch you may do alright if you dont mind modding manually one at a time
modding
After copying modds from my game on my arch linux desktop the game crashes on launch every single time, ive tried copying all my appdata and documents files relating to oblivion, ive tried changing to proton 5, heck ive even tried copying over my prefix (at which point it wont even launch), I dont understand what the problem is its running perfectly on my arch computer with the same files... if i remove all but base game and dlc it runs, so its not an OBSE issue... i must admit im pretty much at a loss, and i cant manage to get any programs (loot, wyre bash) to run in the prefix to do further testing, the commands wont run, various nonsense errors, mainly me not owning the file even though i do, dont know what thats about... other errors running as root... ulg
modding
Made left touchpad click act as the tilde key so i could access console easily
Increase Gamma to maximum so avoid turning up brightness and save some battery, averaging 3.5 hours without any other performance hacks at about half brightness
When modding be very carefull with your load order, small inefeciencies can cause saves not to load. if your used to running with a powerfull computer and just running loot its not gonna cut it. forums online can help with tightening up your load order.
also use xobse, and OBMM, rename the obmm launcher to OblivionLauncher.exe to replace the default launcher (name the old one something else), im not sure how well obmm works for installing mods on the deck but it definitly works as a launcher and lets you change/fix your load order easily without crashes.
if you can id mod on PC with wyre bash, and then copy your files over, and use OBMM's import export feature to transfer your load order as i had some trouble with it wiping manually copied load orders., also copy your documents folder to /home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/22330/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/ note that the game will still use this compatdata folder even if its installed on the SD card
Highly reccomend bevelix's modlist for a more HD experience, or at the very least northern UI for controller compatability
Game works pretty well, not perfect, can install the patches by adding the patch installers to steam as non steam games and forcing proton.
-full -width 1280 -height 800 -game Unofficial_Patch
Mouse is visible when using joystick/touchpad to move screen. a bit annoying
Freezes and fails to close upon exit, so not exactly a major issue, just close from steam menu
Just a buggy game lol. nothing steam deck related
Current version of the unnofficial patch is working fine dont know why people are saying you have to use older version (at least as of now, maybe it didnt work before) game also runs on proton 6.21GE2 although it seems like the loading times are slightly worse
