Boring Man's Windows build runs like native. The game is fully playable. Controls are okay by default but I'd recommend customizing them.

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE-Proton7-17

Control Layout:Switch To Community Layout: Made My Own Layout

Control Layout Customization:Grip Buttons

The game's native Linux build does not run in the Steam Deck's gaming mode. The game needs to be ran via Proton for it to work in gaming mode.

Garry's Mod

The game works on Steam Deck but a mouse and keyboard is highly recommended to play.

3 years ago

Control Layout:Switch To Keyboard And Mouse

Control Layout Customization:Grip Buttons, Gyro, Right Trackpad

Difficult To Read Text:

Text is small in various menus as it was made to be displayed on a bigger screen

With the amount of addons I have installed, binding all the keys that I want to use to various action sets and controls is a bit of a chore since there isn't enough buttons on the Deck for absolutely everything a player would want to do. I switched to the x86-64 beta and ran Garry's Mod using the Steam Linux Runtime.

Mouse got locked to one side, it couldn't move past the middle of the game window over to the right side, no matter if the game was windowed or in fullscreen

Game launched using Gamescope to fix issue

Overall (online):Excellent

I have a dual monitor setup, so this might've caused the mouse to not be captured properly in the game's menus

Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental, Set launch options

-vulkan -novid

Windowing:Other

Full screen via Proton makes the game fail to create a D3D device, full screen via native makes the game locked to 60 hz

Instability:Occasionally

Occurs exclusively while playing workshop maps, some maps will consistently crash the game on Linux native, it's mitigated through running the game on Proton

► Multiplayer

Overall (online):Didn't Work

Proton version fails to find public matches due to VAC, hosting a game is fine

Umamusume: Pretty Derby

Game works out of the box with the only caveat of weird windowing issues (which may stem from the game itself and not due to Proton)

4 days ago

Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental

Windowing:Other

Resizing the window is bugged; maximizing the window sometimes has the game not resize with it so you get a huge white border around the actual gameplay window, while half of the time it reverts back to its original resolution. Resizing the window by dragging 1 side at a time partially works, but same border issue applies.
