The native version runs better than the Windows version through proton
I found that while running the Windows version through Proton and GE-Proton actions that cause a large amount of drops to spawn would cause the framerate to crash to 2-3 fps and it wouldn't improve until restarting the game.
Actions that caused the framerate drop
- destroying a silver vein by fully excavating it then hitting it
- colosseum destruction in fader boss fight
Both these actions caused no issues when running the native version
If the steam deck is in offline mode the ubisoft launcher has issues logging in and starting the game.
Honestly I'm surprised this is only rated as Playable by Valve. I didn't have any issues with the game (besides having to deal with the annoying Ubisoft connect launcher). The game ran perfectly.
I found I got a slightly higher framerate from using GE-Proton (measured using the steam decks built in performance overlay).
Didn't try online as the anticheat doesn't support Linux
