30 FPS
Launch game with Proton GE 7-20 to get past rockstar launcher issues, then switch to 6.3-8
Plays flawlessly on 6.3-8 with only occasional graphic issues on ground textures. There are a few ways to get the game to start with this version of Proton, once you get it running in 6.3-8 it'll play like a dream though. Logged 5+ hours over a few play sessions, switching between games and chrome without the constant crashing of other Proton versions.
30 FPS limit, FSR
Game crashed when trying to slide between a bookshelf, had to restart steam deck. Played on PC to advance to further point in the story to avoid that area on the deck again.
Wait for a patch. I have waited for shaders to load 3 times now because I didn't advance far enough in the game to avoid dealing with them again at a restart. Due to shaders taking 20+ mins to load, this game does not respect your time enough to justify the tinkering to get it to work properly.
