Used the following settings and the experience, through my short playtime yet, have been smooth: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/uuxir1/comment/i9hzq20/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
Uplay wouldn't update to Ubisoft Connect and would only suggest offline mode
Text is a bit small, including subtitles. Ensuring a 16:10 display ratio in the settings improves readability.
When first playing, all textures were missing and the screen flashed. Changing the settings to the ones suggested and restarting the game fixed it.
The main issue is the Ubisoft launcher not updating. This problem may also occur with Assassin's Creed Unity. In order to rectify this issue and being able to play the game, I followed the instructions present here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/11kucn7/comment/jbn8vil/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
To reiterate, if you can manage to install the latest version of Ubisoft Connect, simply overwrite AC: Syndicate's Ubisoft Launcher. The gameid for Syndicate is 368500 .
In my case, as Unity's launcher updated correctly, I used that folder to overwrite Syndicate's and it worked like a charm, picked up DLCs and linked to the appropriate Ubisoft account.
