The classic LEGO The Lord of the Rings adventure from Traveller's Tales has been upgraded, and it's now Steam Deck Verified too.
Much like we recently saw for LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, which was also updated to get Steam Deck Verified, they didn't say exactly what they fixed up for the update that's just been released. The announcement simply said: "This update was to get the title Steam Deck verified" - and that's it.
Going by ProtonDB reports from players, the game previously needed a few little manual adjustments, so it seems the developer has worked around it. When Valve went and checked it over again to bump it up to the Verified rating they set it to use the latest Proton 10 Beta.
Seems like they're going back over multiple LEGO games to get them all Verified, so hopefully more to come, although lots already do work just fine there's a few others like LEGO Worlds that have issues still.

Hurray! Thanks TT Ganes!
Remasters are okay but I, for one, am happy developers are taking the time to keep the original games running under modern conditions.
Well part of the benefit of a remaster is two fold.
1. They usually migrate to a newer engine and as such give the game a much greater chance of surviving against bit-rot something Linux is quite prone to (natively). Meaning the only path left is to emulate inferior versions on ancient consoles.
2. They place the game back into the public's consciousness & purchase history. Meaning it's less ethical to pull the game of of online stores if you and tens of thousands of other people bought the 'NEW' game only a few years previous.
This game was released November 13, 2012 ! at some point a minor patch ain't gonna be enough.
Remasters no matter how cynical, do potentially give you another 10-15 years of relative software compatibility imho.
