it works fine on steam deck, was playing on mine over christmas. It does take time to do the initial launch, which I think is caused by the EA App, but otherwise the game runs perfectly

just be warned that every time you launch the game you need to be online, but you can suspend and play offline. I capped the FPS to 60 and got about 5 hours of playtime before the 10% battery warning.

I can also recommend Vampire Survivors for the deck as well

Did you play ME1? I'm a pretty advanced and knowledgeable Steam Deck user and I just refunded this due to the performance.

Regardless of the proton version the game drops FPS constantly and consistently, it doesn't seem to be performance related by something else, almost like traversal stutter.

It's IMPOSSIBLE to walk around the Normandy and Citadel for more than a few seconds without getting a drop for a split second, because it happens so often it didn't feel good to play.

It didn't matter if Vsync was on or off, or if the proton version was changed.

It's super disappointing and I tried everything I can think on my OLED to fix the problem but ME1 just constantly dropped at certain locations and very often.

It would be 60 FPS but just walking past certain doors or in certain corridors would lower it to 40fps for a split second. It's not the 40 fps that's the problem it's that the drops/frame stuttering is basically constant.

Does this honestly not happen to you and it runs absolutely perfect like you said? Surely if I'm seeing the behavior and you're also on a steam deck you'd notice this too. Maybe you're just not super sensitive to it? But again, it's impossible to walk around the Normandy or the citadel without the game dropping FPS all the time.

I hadn't played one as I was already past that game but just loaded a save and check and yes I get drops of around 10 fps when the game is loading new areas to solve that drop your steam deck to 30fps which is what the game was originally designed for
