The game warned me on startup that it is not optimized for Steam deck, but it ran 100% on the Ally Z1 with Bazzite.

METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN
Customizations:
I couldn't get it to start. After much tinkering, I later found that I had to download VC redist and DirectX from Microsofts site and install using Wine. Only after I did these two, did Metal Gear started up from Steam library.
Input:Other
Mouse wheel didn't work for zooming.

The Alters
Maybe ensure your swap file is big enough to handle shader caching or be prepared to delete the shader cache from time to time.
Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE-Proton10-4
Instability:Frequently
Could play for a few hours, then game started freezing. Some times the game continues after a few seconds, some times I had to kill the game and start again. After many hours of swapping proton versions and jumping between my Manjaro PC and the Bazzite handheld, I found that deleting shader cache folder fixes it for a few hours.
