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

I was confused about what it meant by “Lossless” since it’s frame gen… there’s no compression, or anything to lose, it’s starting from nothing.
As far as I can tell it means nothing, it’s just the branding for the “Lossless Scaling” tool on Steam. There’s no new lossless algorithm involved here.

My understanding is the tool originally was focused on upscaling, and “lossless upscaling” was the apps main feature (along with allowing you to apply other kinds of upscaling).
So the frame generation part is more accurately “the lossless upscaling app’s unique frame generation”, but it’s shortened to just lossless frame gen even though that’s not really accurate.
