Note
I tinkered with this for a long time and came to the conclusion that the smoothest way to play the game on Deck (and with the longest battery life) is as follows:
  • Default settings to begin with (leave the advanced graphics preset on recommended/low)
  • Change scaling mode to FSR 2 Quality Mode
  • Turn off Film Grain and Chromatic Aberration
  • Uncap the FPS limit in game and use the 30 FPS cap in Steam's Quick Access Menu instead. This will enable you to more easily increase the limit if you choose to during less hefty sections of the game and appears to have better frame pacing.
  • Beyond that, I recommend using CryoByte33's CryoUtilities to change the RAM swap file size to 16GB with a swappiness of 1. I also changed my VRAM to 4GB. These are both simple but optional tweaks that may yield extra performance.
If you liked this report, give it a like! I strive to test for a long time on all my reports before publishing them to find the best balance between performance and battery.

Note
At the time of this post (early access). These are settings to play at a smooth and enjoyable framerate. keep in mind, there are some stutters which are missing some shader cache which at that point. We have to wait for a patch. The patch is out and so is the shader cache. This game is also very demanding so be ready to chew on battery very quickly.

Game settings are set to Custom.
  • Effects: High (setting this to Low will help a bit. But, will reduce some effects significantly)
  • Material: Ultra (don't see much of a performance loss when set to Medium or let alone, Ultra)
  • Fog: Medium (the difference isn't noticeable, though, gains some frames. It can be pushed to Medium)
  • Sky: Low (same as fog)
  • Foliage: Low (keep this low at all costs, this will ruin frames!)
  • Post-Processing: Medium (can be pushed to Medium, doesn't affect much on performance)
  • Shadow: High (shadow is already fine at low. Although, for some reason, it doesn't affect much on frames. Can be pushed to High or Ultra.)
  • Texture: Medium (can be pushed to medium but, to keep at a stable 30 or 40. Best to leave this at low)
  • View Distance: Low (same reason as Foliage)
  • Population: Medium (seems like fewer people show up, but does help with frames. Keep this at Low)


The game is locked at 30.
