Comment on There is now a Decky Plugin to use Lossless frame gen on Steam Deck

I’ve tried it with 2 games in my Legion Go with CachyOS.
Heaven’s Vault: It launched without forcing a particular version of Proton, but it did nothing, same framerate with it on or off.
Tacoma: I had to force GEProton in order for the game to run. It did nothing, same framerate with it on or off.
And yes, I’ve followed the instructions and put “~/lsfg %COMMAND%” as an environment variable. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong, or if it just doesn’t work with every game.
Since it didn’t crash you, but didn’t seem to kick in, check and make sure that you’re not full screen on your in-game settings. Go windowed or bordered instead.
I have used it a handful of times on Windows and that was always a prereq to get it to do anything.
Make sure games are windowed or borderless and that you don’t have an external frame cap like steam overlay.
It’s funny because after rebooting, the performance in Tamcoma was halved for no reason. Then I disabled fullscreen and the performance got better indeed. The funny part? The performance with Lossless Scaling on and fullscreen off is the same as the performance with lossless scaling off. Touching the other options in the plugin don’t change anything.
Some games don’t get any performance increase, so you’ll have to try it game by game. So far most games I’ve tried have worked, but maybe I’ve just been lucky.
I tried The Invincible too, it gave me a black screen with it activated. Success after success! I’ll keep trying more games in the following days, some have to work sooner or later.

Hey, I figured out what I had done wrong, I dropped the files in the wrong place. Everything seems to be working now.
If you’re still struggling, this YT video shows you where you have to put everything to get it all to work.

Thank you, I followed the video step by step but it’s still not working. The only thing that I was different in my setup is that I wasn’t using the pre-release update channel for decky loader.
