There was some crackling at the beginning of the game for a few seconds, hasn't happened once after that
Limit FPS to 30 TDP Limit: 9
I was having frequent crashes whenever I tried to fast travel. This may have been an anti-cheat issue as booting the game with the deck in offline mode fixed this. As of the most recent updates this problem has been solved entirely.
Changed settings according to this guide of SDHQ except for proton version, which I kept stock: https://steamdeckhq.com/game-reviews/god-of-war-2018/
Menu and UI text was hard to read though negligible once you learn the game
Without tinkering, the game is still playable and enjoyable, but optimizing the settings definitely makes the experience better
Everything worked great, even multiplayer through steam remote play, Proton GE used to be necessary but not anymore, though I still use it.
The game is stuck in windowed mode and the very bottom is cut off, however it doesn't seem to matter during gameplay and I can still navigate through the game without issue
When using mouse and keyboard, cursor occasionally dissapears, everything is fine on controller
Steam defaulted to a community layout that took me a while to figure out
Heavy screen tearing
Overall really good performance, struggled a bit with screen tearing but was a pretty easy fix. Though, I did have to switch to X11.
Played this docked in the living room, had a great time
