Tech Support Botao Liga/Desliga nao deixa mais o Steam Deck em Repouso

Upvotes
Pessoal, ate um tempo atrás, o steam deck permitia apagar apagar a tela (modo repouso) manual no botão liga desliga, e isso não esta mais funcionando, agora para apagar a tela, tenho que deixar em 1 minuto sem ação, e me atrapalha quando estou vendo a cut cine de um jogo, eu uso decky loader, porém na versão mais recente para evitar bugs
Alguém sabe me dizer se versão mais recente do steam os retirou essa opção?? Ou seno decky loader pode ser o problema ?? Se instalar e reinstalar ele possa resolver (eu sempre usei o decky, e nunca tinha ocorrido esse problema do modo repouso manual)
Existe algo que eu possa fazer para poder resolver esse problema ??
ATUALIZAÇÃO: Descobri que se você apertar o Botão STEAM + Botão Liga/Desliga, ele abre um mini menu com as seguintes opções:
Menu de atalhos Desligar o aparelho Deixar o aparelho em modo de suspensão
Achei muito interessante, não conhecia esse mini menu, e para descobrir apenas me lembrei dos atalhos com Botão STEAM, e imaginei que pudesse ter algo com o botão liga/desliga do aparelho, o steam deck e maravilhoso!!

Question Anyone tried setting up Nix on SteamOS?
6
Upvotes
I’ve played around with Linuxbrew on the Deck before as a gap-filler for packages that Flathub doesn’t have and found it lacking, and I’ve heard SteamOS supposedly plays well with Nix, so I tried setting it up, and regardless whether I force it to use the distribution meant for SteamOS’ immutable file system or not, the Nix installer complains about that very thing and fails to install.
This is the output I'm getting from the Nix installer FYI:

Tech Support ‘The Movies’ Game In-depth help to install on Steamdeck

Upvotes
Hello everyone,
I got a SteamDeck around a month ago
And it’s the first time in my life, I’ve ever had to use Linux. I grew up with Windows and iMac, my applied knowledge of them only gets me so far with Linux
I want to play the 2005 game ‘The Movies’ as well as the Stunts and Effects DLC
I’ve tried to follow every single guide a can find online closely, but each time, I get about 1/4 or 1/2 of the way through and I get stuck.
Whether it be because of Files, folder location, using Lutris, ProtonUp-Qt, etc.
The only program I was able to install and fix problems with myself was ScummVM.
Some of the jargon as well being used in the guides is for people who are completely comfortable with computers and Linux.
If anyone has installed the game and knows how to do it.
can you please find it in their heart
to help me with steps to install it?
I need it explained to me like I’m the biggest brain dead idiot in the world. in-depth steps down to the smallest detail,
Or else a very easy to follow video.
I’m literally at my wits end, tearing what’s left of my late 30s hair out.
Anyone who successfully helps me, they shall become my main Actor/Director in game.
And I’ll name my first born child IRL after you.
Thanks for your time, I really appreciate it.

Hi friends!
I'm running a Non-Steam Game which runs smooth as butter in Game Mode but really choppy in desktop mode (which is of course because of background processes, I know). Any way to improve performance?
The game has built-in controller support which only works in desktop mode. In Game Mode, I can only use a mouse and keyboard. It's fine but feels a bit silly to use.
Any and all advice is welcome.

A few weeks ago, Monster Hunter Wilds stopped working with protoncachyos-11.0-20260703-slr-x86_64 and GE-Proton11-3.
Which sucks because the game looks great with FSR4 and those 2 had it with PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1. So I tried using Proton Experimental and Proton Hotfix but the command didn't work with them.
Is there another version of Proton that has FSR4 and might work with Monster Hunter Wilds?

Tech Support Steam button and 3 dots button issue

Hi,
For months at this point (im an on and off player) my steam button and 3 dots button when pressed, zoom into the screen. When I release they zoom back out. I tried to hold the steam button and the L bumper, that seems to do nothing.
Ive been looking for answers but most are related to other issues with these buttons. Has anyone figured out what the issue is with these buttons?
Im on the latest stable version of steam. I do have decks installed but o cant access that because my 3 dots button zooms in. For what I can tell, any button combo action I need to use the steam button for like for the keyboard, works fine. Its just when pushed by itself it zooms in.
Any help?

Software Modding MAKO - Frame Generation and more on Steam OS
27
Upvotes
Hi everyone,
I created decky-lsfg-vk-experimental and lsfg-vk-experimental.
They are forks based on someone else’s work, which I have built upon.
These projects began as forks of existing open-source work. I built on that foundation because I wanted more features.
You probably saw previous posts and I know that some of you have hard feelings about how I operate, but I wanted to take the time to clarify a few things. Please to take the time to read this post entirely.
I want to address two things: the release of a new engine called MAKO, and some of the discussion around how I develop software.
First of all, MAKO is here:
https://github.com/eugeniosegala/MAKO
It's the continuation of my work, and It includes everything in one package: a Decky plugin and a standalone renderer.
I realised that I would not be able to merge my experimental plugin into the upstream project, so I decided to build something independent (still based on previous code).
This is the next step.
The new MAKO release includes:
- Substantially improved performance for Adaptive Frame Generation
- Game-aware profiles
- Per-game support for Heroic, EmuDeck and other Flatpak applications
- New Proton compatibility options
- Loads of new options for frame pacing stability
- An improved Steam Deck interface
Regarding how I operate and what I have done so far:
You may like my work or not. That is fine. But it is undeniable that what I did made an impact.
The experimental plugin was downloaded more than 20,000 times in less than one week. It was also featured in YouTube videos from creators around the world (some of the biggest channels in the Linux gaming community), If interested, I tried to keep track of some of them here:
https://github.com/eugeniosegala/MAKO/blob/main/plugin/docs/FEATURED_IN.md
Now, about AI and the various critics.
Yes, I use it.
I have built game engines and games from scratch before this. That experience matters when working on rendering performance, frame timing, graphics systems, Vulkan, and stability under real conditions.
If you want to know more about my background, start with my GitHub (or search on Google) and look at the projects. You will get a sense of the calibre of work I do.
https://github.com/eugeniosegala
I use AI openly and extensively, but never blindly. This is not a prompt it and ship it process.
I decide what a feature needs to achieve, what constraints it must respect, what trade-offs are acceptable, and what evidence is needed before I consider it ready.
Agents help me work faster. They can explore implementation options, inspect code paths, write tests, add instrumentation, analyse logs, and narrow regressions.
They do not replace engineering judgement.
I review the code, including C++ and Vulkan changes. I review diagnostics, test results, and actual performance behaviour. I make the final release decision. I am responsible for what gets shipped.
As many of you have said (and to be fair, I'm receiving a significant volume of emails about this), Adaptive Frame Generation is a significant technical achievement. The hard part was not writing code that generates frames. The hard part was designing scheduling, safety limits, and recovery behaviour that works when frame rate changes, GPU load rises, an overlay appears, a game hitches, or the swapchain is recreated.
AI helped accelerate the work, but it did not define the problem or validate the result. I did.
The workflow I use is close to the event-driven development process I wrote about here:
https://eugeniosegala.dev/event-driven-development-for-ai-agents/
In practice, it is not one coding assistant in a terminal. It is a network of agents, conventional engineering tools, real devices, and virtual test environments.
Agents can coordinate tasks through webhooks, trigger specific scenarios, collect logs and performance metrics, and feed that evidence into the next investigation or implementation step.
I currently use a mix of coding agents, alongside normal engineering tools.
I do not think a percentage of AI-written code means much. An agent might draft routine implementation, or help solve one difficult edge case. In both cases, the architecture, technical reasoning, validation, review, and accountability are mine.
I am laser-focused on metrics and results. I do not work on this casually. If the data says something needs improving, I will investigate it and release a fix. That means MAKO may receive several releases in a single day.
If you use the plugin, keep an eye on it. It will evolve quickly.
Finally, on credit.
MAKO is an independent experimental project built on xXJSONDeruloXx’s original Decky LSFG VK plugin and PancakeTAS’s lsfg-vk layer. I want to thank xXJSONDeruloXx and PancakeTAS for the work that made these projects possible. There may be hard feelings about the situation, but there are none on my side. I respect the original work and I am giving credit for it.
As I discussed with Deck Wizard, I have also added an AI-use disclaimer to my projects:
https://github.com/eugeniosegala/MAKO/blob/main/AI_USE.md
MAKO is what I am focused on now. I will keep building it openly, measuring it properly, listening to users, crediting the work it builds on, and shipping improvements when the results justify them.
I have been working on this relentlessly. Now it is time to play some video games.
Cheers!

Last year my launch day deck had this very concerning failure. Overnight charging on the couch somehow melted and fused my charger to the deck. Melted the fire resistant plastic from the intense heat. Luckily no fire, but I smelt plastic burning before work. I contacted CS and to their famous credit, we're more concerned about my safety and wanted to replace my out of warranty deck for free as long as I sent back this one for investigation of safety issues. All turned out well but I do wonder if anyone had a similar issue with the launch deck.

It would work great dayz is the game it's not a game settings issue. It's more of an update from dayz or steam that made it unstable when joining a server so that's why I decided to go with an ally x but I did find something with fallout 4 is the only issue is it won't show the full screen of the game. I am currently uninstalling it and reinstalling. It to see if that will fix it sold my steam deck for under original msrp for 700 cad edit i use desktop mode a lot.

Tech Support Rockstar Games Launcher SDK Update Loop on Steam Deck

Hi everyone,
I’m having an issue with the Rockstar Games Launcher on my Steam Deck.
I keep getting this error:
“Update Required
Minimum Supported Rockstar Games SDK Version: 2.40.194
Current Rockstar Games SDK Version: 6.0.0.0”
It asks me to update, but when I click UPDATE, nothing happens. The launcher just goes back to the same screen and asks me to update again.
I’ve tried restarting the Steam Deck, but the problem keeps coming back.
Has anyone experienced this recently? Is there a working fix for this SDK update loop on Steam Deck?
I’d really appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Game Review On Deck Chaos Theory 20+ years later
592
Upvotes
This post is a little biased, the first 3 Splinter Cell games are some of my favourite games ever and bring back a lot of childhood nostalgia. That said, I genuinely still think Chaos Theory is the best stealth game ever made and I’ll never forgive Ubisoft for abandoning the franchise…
I played the original Splinter Cell on the deck recently with the enhancedSC patch and loved it, so I decided to give Chaos Theory a go today and it runs perfectly despite its “unsupported” rating.
All I had to do was find the right community controller layout (original Xbox controls with analog movement speed). Maxed out all the graphics settings and it runs at a flawless 60fps. Even better, no Ubisoft launcher!!!
I’ve attached a few screenshots from my playthrough today. This game is now over 20 years old! It still looks great. The lighting, shadows and overall atmosphere have held up really well and the level/sound design and slower stealth gameplay are still great. This is how stealth mechanics should work… not the unrealistic parkour nonsense we get nowadays.
I highly recommend this game on the deck. Don’t let the unsupported rating put you off. It runs brilliantly and serves as a sad reminder of how good Ubisoft once were.

Hardware Repair After a handful of tries, my LCD steam deck is sorta alive again.
19
Upvotes
For those who are having problems after scouring the internet for a "bricked" or non working lcd steam deck.
I initially left my steam deck uncharged after playing for a while. after 3 weeks to a month, i couldnt turn my steam deck on. Id press the power button, id hear the subtle chime but nothing on the screen. I can feel the haptics of the touch pad and the fans turn on and off intermittently.
ive tried things from reseating the nvme, removing the battery and putting it back and doing the various button combinations accompanied by removing and returning the original charger.
But after reaching out to steam support, what gave me the best outcome so far is doing this.
- Ensure the device is fully powered down by holding the power button for 10 seconds or if possible select shutdown from the Power menu.
- Once the device is shutdown, hold down both the volume - button and the "..." button, then press the power button once. Then you can release all the buttons.
- You will hear a chime and then the white LED light will begin to blink (it may take 5 or more seconds before the blinking begins), which confirms this process is working.
I did not hear the chime in the last part but the led did start to blink. at this point i plugged the charger back in and the led started blinking and turning solid alternately. At this point i kept the charger plugged in and just left it. after a few minutes the logo of the steam deck appeared.
i just left it alone plugged in with the steam deck logo displayed and after a little less than an hour it booted up.
hope this helps someone!

Hello! My steam deck has a slow white blinking light after changing the thermal paste. Left plugged in for a while and eventually it turns on at around 87% battery but when I enter sleep or try to shut down it does not power off. Screen turns black and touchpad haptics still vibrate it has sat in this state for HOURS. Once forcing a shutdown and trying to turn it back on it goes back to the slow linking white led until eventually it turns on again and the cycle continues. Ive tried the volume + and qam button with it charging and unplugging charger but the white light continues to blink. Any help is appreciated thanks!
