The first multiplayer Fallout game and it runs pretty well on Linux, barring some minor issues.
Game runs okay without tinkering, but to reach a comfortable 60fps you need to lower the settings down in the game's settings and use text editor to edit the ini file.
Lower TDP to 12W and set the in-game graphics to default Low to get around 40 - 50 fps. Performance will definitely tank in events or raids where are dozens of players and entities.
Subtitles are too small for the Steam Deck screen. Small texts for quests also going to clutter the top right of the screen if you decide to track all quests available.
Exiting the game through the main menu simply freezes the game. Need to close the game manually through the Steam overlay menu.
Fallout 76 runs pretty well on Steam Deck by default without any tinkering, but for the most optimal performance some tinkering needed. Mostly changing the configuration ini files would be enough but you can go beyond by installing mods that further improves the performance and/or quality of lifes. The game initally suffers from terrible bugs on launch and to be honest the game still has plenty of bugs, one can argue that turning a 20 year old Creation engine into an MMO framework is no easy feat. And in the end of the day this is still a solid Fallout game.
An old but gold game, runs flawlessly on Steam Deck with great performance and battery life
By setting the graphics setting to "Middle" preset in game and setting TDP to 5W, you can easily get locked 60fps with around 7-8 hours of gameplay on Steam Deck OLED.
