Great experience on the steam deck. Just download and play, no tinkering required, no compatibility changes needed. Even with scan lines enabled and the full star display set to show, everything is clear and runs perfectly.

Some text in splash screens and menus is difficult to read
Runs great on the steam deck, steady 60fps with occasional dips to ~55 when racing in busy areas like Edinburgh. It does require some tinkering to actually work though, for various reasons, and I had to combine some others notes to get something that worked for me, so hopefully this can serve as a checklist.
- Install and change compatibility mode to force Proton Experimental
- Switch to Desktop Mode and launch Forza Horizon 4 (the microsoft login screen doesn't appear in gaming mode)
- Using an attached keyboard and mouse, log in to your Microsoft Account in the modern login window that opens (for some reason the on screen keyboard won't launch and the touchpad mouse becomes disabled, though the touch screen works)
- Change Forza's settings to disable Fullscreen. Exit game
- Return to Gaming Mode, edit properties for Horizon 4 to use Native resolution (not default) - if you dont do this the image will be distorted
- Enjoy - everything should be working as expected now
Mapped the R key to the select button. This is the hotkey for "Reset", which returns you to the main menu.
Launches without any issues at all on the Steam Deck. The only suggestion I would make would be to map the "R" key to the Select button, which resets the game to the main menu. No performance or compatibility tweaks are needed, the game runs flawlessly out of the box.
Be advised that Steam Cloud is not enabled for the game, so your progress on PC will not sync to your Steam Deck (or anywhere else).

Flawlessly runs and 60fps with Swish's fix. Thanks!!!
