It runs, looks great, but from time to time, it will hang. Lowering the graphics settings seems to prolong the crashing.
From time to time there is text either in the HUD or the in-game menu which can be hard to read. But it's readable, just.
Tried GE-Proton7-29, Lutris-Wine-7.2-2, Proton-Expiremental and Proton 7.0. You get some splash screens, then it crashes.
Modified D-Pad to act as Joystick
Limited framerate to 30FPS
It's small, but still readable. Sadly no UI scaling options.
The resolution was not correctly set on first launch. Had to go to in-game Settings and set the resolution to match the Steam Decks native resolution.
Small tweaks, then works perfectly.

Installed Watch Dogs 2 through the Ubisoft Connect app then re-used the game entry for Ubisoft Connect inside of Steam to pass parameters which allowed the game to be launched through Ubisoft Connect. (I did not create a seperate game entry for Watch Dogs 2). At first performance was not good (0fps to 35fps) and it crashed when driving a car. To fix this, I lowered the settings to their lowest, capped the in-game monitor refresh rate to 60hz and set an in-game FPS Limit to 60 (setting these two settings stops the game engine from trying harder than it needs to). I also changed the Proton version to expiremental from V7.
After all this, the game ran at between 45fps and 55fps with no crashes when driving.
