Capped FPS to 30, it can only hover about ~40 without the cap so not a big deal. Dropped TDP by ~5 (15 down to 10) which kept it hovering around 30 and prevented the fans kicking in when zooming in and out of map.
You can install a better scaling mod, but it will disable achievements.
The game will freeze for a few seconds during certain transitions (e.g. triggering a major event), but sometimes it will freeze and just not recover until you hard reboot the Steamdeck.
Performance has improved a lot in the last year, if you run it via Proton (e.g. not the native Linux build) you can quite easily get a steady 30fps even when docked to 1080p or even 1440p if you turn a few settings down. Loading can be slow and freeze up every now and again, but very playable.
Performance is based almost purely on resolution, pretty easy to keep it at 60fps at 720p with most settings on medium, but you'll start to get minor drops at 800p unless you turn off AO and the blur filter. Docked you need to cap it to 30fps to maintain 1080p even on low settings.
Game seems to have a double-vsync so will lock to 30fps when SteamOS is set to even 60fps cap, so you need to remove the cap entirely from SteamOS else the game will run at half speed.
