According to gamescope, FSR still isn’t turning on
- Comment on FSR is missing from Steam Decl menu 1 week ago:
So you have absolutely no actual advice to give. You’re just here to be a shit.
Yeah, you’re not worth bothering with anymore. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, douchbag.
- Comment on FSR is missing from Steam Decl menu 1 week ago:
Then explain why gamespoce keeps showing me “FSR: OFF” no matter what settings I us3
- Comment on FSR is missing from Steam Decl menu 1 week ago:
It’s downvoted because it still doesn’t work.
It wasn’t that big of a leap to try out all the steps in the guide with the setting set to sharp in case things were renamed.
- Comment on Steam Deck plugin adds AMD FSR4 support to improve visuals 1 week ago:
FSR1: select it in the sidebar as the scaling method, set any game to a resolution smaller than 1280x800. It’s system wide.
As I said: it doesn’t work.
The options isn’t even in the sidebar menu anymore
- Comment on FSR is missing from Steam Decl menu 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t work.
Checking with GameScope shows that FSR doesn’t turn on, even when setting the resolution lower. And it doesn’t matter if I adjust the resolution in the Deck’s settings or in game, nor does it matter if it’s on the built in display or docked to a TV.

Also… if you are installing a plugin from a file, into Decky… you would have had to already download that file… and I am pretty sure, you’d have to that in desktop mode.
DeckyLoader has a list of repo’s you can download from within game mod. DeckyFrameGen has been in there all day.
… Are you really just annoyed that there is not one single, total set of instructions for you to follow?
No, I’m annoyed that the “guides” are telling people to go through a pointlessly overcomplicated process to install the plugin

Meanwhile my Steam Deck refuses to enable even FSR 1 or 2 because all the guides are outdated due to the settings changing
- Comment on Steam Deck plugin adds AMD FSR4 support to improve visuals 2 weeks ago:
Because there is no way to install Decky from the game view/mode itself.
This is not what I was referring to. None of the guides actually go through the DeckLoader install process, they generally just link back to a previous guide on how to do that.
And if you already have DeckyLoader installed, you can just install DeckyLoadGen from within the DeckyLoader menu in game mode. I’m pointing out that it’s silly to go into desktop mode to do a manual install when it’s literally just 2 clicks inside DeckyLoader
- Comment on Steam Deck plugin adds AMD FSR4 support to improve visuals 2 weeks ago:
Why do all the guides instruct you to go to desktop mode to install the DeckyLoader plugin? Half the point of DeckyLoader is to let you do that from game mode.

- Comment on [[TheGamer]] Valve Fremont, The Rumored Steam Console, Appears On Geekbench 5 weeks ago:
You’re ignoring my main point: Valve is in a similar boat as Nintendo in that their business model differs from Playstation and XBox.
The reason XBox and Playstation have been competing in in console wars the past 20 years is that they’re trying to offer the exact same thing.
Valve doesn’t need to compete over hardware or exclusives. A lot of people that buy consoles despite already having PC libraries are because they want to play on their couch instead of a desk and because they just want something that is plug-and play. They could stream to their TV with a Steam Link or Raspberry Pi, but that’s extra setup and a less clean experience. If Valve offers a standardized, prebuilt HTPC to fill that role, that target audience has less reason to buy a console.
And since you’re harping on power: Playstation isn’t likely to significantly change their hardware specifications in a few months. They can make some adjustments, but development takes time so there’s not going to be groundbreaking changes just to respond to Valve. Not only that, there’s precedent of more powerful and capable consoles losing to their competition due to other factors, an notable example being the Sega Saturn. You can’t distill sales down into one single defining metric. That’s a take I would expect from a child.
And to expand on competing market space: Valve doesn’t have to restrict their products to just console competitors. They build PCs. Remember Intel NUC’s? From the leaks and rumors, I’m expecting Valve’s product to be structurally similar to those, opening up another market space. And even if Valve doesn’t sell all the units, if the NUC-style form factor overall expands more in terms of units and usage for gaming, Steam still wins since they’re expanding the PC gaming market. We saw the same thing with the Steam Deck, where competitors started popping up, but Valve was making money on those as well since people mainly buy PC games via Steam.
- Comment on [[TheGamer]] Valve Fremont, The Rumored Steam Console, Appears On Geekbench 5 weeks ago:
Nintendo continually releases underpowered consoles and sells similar numbers to Sony without issues.
Steam (and PC gaming in general) have access to significantly more games and exist on an open ecosystem, which are already big selling points.
Not only that, the biggest things keeping people from buying into the PC ecosystem are cost and complexity. They don’t want to pay >$1k to play games and they don’t want to have to futz around with a desktop. Valve has already demonstrated they can do both with the Steam Deck.
Who cares if the PS6 ends up having slightly more performance? There’s more factors than raw performance. And those who are obsessed with performance but unwilling to put up the cash for a decent PC can just lock themselves away in the PS ecosystem. Their loss.

You can install Moonshine on the Deck, then install Sunlight on the desktop. Sunshine is an alternative streaming server software and Moonlight is the client. The setup has lower latency and is capable of 4k 60fps if your desktop and router can handle the throughput

- Comment on Upcoming MMO 'BitCraft Online' will be open source 3 months ago:
I remember seeing an article about it a month back. It’s just the backend that they’re open sourcing, since that will let it be audited for bugs, help the community make mods for private servers, and help other studios in the future since the backend is the hard part about making MMO’s. The devs are wanting to maintain ownership of assets like art and writing so those will not be oprn source

- Comment on Valve is looking to add an optional battery charge limit to the SD, to preserve battery life 8 months ago:
Like a lot of stuff, I blame “popular science” tech youtubers like Linus Sebastien. He thought it was funny to lose his mind with a butter knife and stab at his steam deck and everyone pointed out how dangerous that was while memeing it around.
Stuff like this is why I can’t watch LTT anymore. He’s effectively become the PewDiePie or Logan Paul of tech and has become net negative for the industry.
Lately he did a video where he downloaded HoloISO as an analogue for a SteamOS 3.0 review (why would you review it when it’s actively discouraged for download on non-Steam Deck hardware?). While he doesn’t spend a ton of time on the problems (like connecting to printers), it’s still negative exposure to things that will most likely be sorted out before release (if they’re not already fixed within Valve).
That being said, I shouldn’t expect much from the guy who did the equivalent of deleting System32 in an attempt to install Steam when all he had to do was open the app manager and click install
- Comment on Valve is looking to add an optional battery charge limit to the SD, to preserve battery life 8 months ago:
If the Steam Deck’s airflow wasn’t so delicately balanced, they could probably just skip the glue and add some foam or rubber patchs on the corners to prevent rattling. Then it’d be fairly easy to replace.
- Comment on folder syncronization 8 months ago:
I remembered hearing some people set up timed syncs to avoid the issue. Like, only sync at 2am. Though that might not work when the Steam Deck is in sleep mode
