Small stuttering sometimes
Bioshock Infinite runs good on Steam Deck, even with up to 60fps. Sometimes I had small stuttering but this was a minor annoyance. Had overall a good experience with the game.
Played about two hours on Steam Deck in docked mode with mouse and keyboard. It's not easy playable with the trackpads.
You have to log in to Ubisoft Connect all the time and then you will get two "Far Cry 3" to choose from. You have to choose the second one to start the game. You can't quit the game with the ingame menu "Exit to Desktop", better use the Steam Deck menu to quit the game.
I found a post on Reddit how to deal with the Ubisoft Connect login all the time. You have to start the game online the first time and log in to Ubisoft Connect. Then close the game, go into airplane mode and restart the game. Ubisoft Connect will now give you the option to go offline. If you activate offline mode this way, you will never have to log in to Ubisoft Connect again. However, your save file may not be synchronized with Ubisoft Connect.
The game was just running on very high speed (as other users mentioned) but there is a speed setting in the menu. I'm playing at 70% speed with no issues.
At first you get a message "GPU drivers are out of date" but you can skip this. Performance was good, even with thousands of guests in the park. Controls are a bit clunky with the trackpads and the UI is very small on SteamDeck. So it's certainly not the best experience to play the game, but it's possible to play it.
Spec Ops: The Line runs great with 60fps on my Steam Deck. One issue I had was that it installs the native Linux version by default. But there was no gamepad detected, I could only control by mouse/keyboard. Then I switched to the emulated Windows-version of the game (by forcing the game to run with Proton) and full gamepad support was there.
When you start the game you get a message "Your video card performance has not been found. A quick bench will be performed." but I's not possible to press "ok". There is even a problem to get into control settings, it seems like Steam Deck is freezing.
