- Comment on [Deck] Issues playing games while installing/downloading games on SD card? 6 days ago:
Interesting. I wonder if that’s why my SD card has issues installing then. Trying to download and unpack at the same time and it’s just not feasible.
- Comment on [Deck] Issues playing games while installing/downloading games on SD card? 6 days ago:
Yeah I just assumed I’d drop a few frames. Guess I’ll stick to playing Celeste or something like that if I’m playing anything while downloading.
- Comment on [Deck] Issues playing games while installing/downloading games on SD card? 6 days ago:
Ah it’s no big deal. Just a behavioral issue on my end then.
I wouldn’t care if the SD card wrote a bit faster. I mean I get approximately 20-50 Mbps down from Steam. Taking ~12 hours to download 100 gigs to an SD card is a little insane.
I can do the same process on my SSD in ~1 hour for what it’s worth.

- Comment on [Deck] Does Decky Load break with Steam update? 1 week ago:
9 times out of ten rerunning the installer and selecting repair for Decky fixes it.
The other time it broke was due to SteamGrid crashing whenever I would hover over the Decky icon after hitting thr QAM.
- Comment on [Deck] Does Decky Load break with Steam update? 1 week ago:
I’ve had issues with that plug in before. During 3.6 I want to say.
Up to you.
If an update to SteamOS does bork your system, you can always roll back.

Otherwise, happy tinkering. I recommend MicroSDeck if you have multiple SD cards you swap between too.
And Decky Localsend, so you can transfer files without going out of game mode.
- Comment on [Deck] Does Decky Load break with Steam update? 1 week ago:
Use Stable Steam. Before any version update I disable SteamGridDB, as this one is prone to breaking.
I stopped using CSS loader since we have Big Art Mode as an option now, which also caused crashes on occasion.
You could add the Decky installer package (might be the wrong word here) to Steam from Desktop mode to run a reinstall without going to Desktop mode for convenience. Or more future-proofed, use this.

Then it’s Skyrim! haha
- Comment on [Discussion] What was first Steam game you ever purchased? 2 weeks ago:
Technically it was Mass Effect!
But I bought it on Origin.
- Comment on [Deck] 4 weeks ago:
Sounds like a plan. Thanks!
- Comment on [Deck] 4 weeks ago:
I think I’d agree with that. Tinkering with settings can get me a bit of a boost, but anything not exceedingly well optimized from the PS5 generation gives my deck trouble.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your Steam Deck/Machine/Frame? - October 2026 4 weeks ago:
Been playing the demo for Final Fantasy Resonance!
It’s a beefy demo, with about 7 hours of content, and the save data transfers over.
I played the heck out of Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, which is where most of this games assets come from. But this is a non-gacha game reimagining of it in 3D 2D, like octopath. So I’m really excited for it. Probably won’t pick it up on Day 1 for 50 USD, but it’s the first launch day game I’ve been tempted to grab for full price in a long time.

- Comment on Playing FF7Rebirth 1 month ago:
I’ve used this one before. Tbh I’m not having an issue keeping the 30 FPS and if I drop textures further I could probably tweak and get the game to run solidly at 40 FPS, so 60 would be easy with LSFG.
It really just the pop in and hair textures. Some candelabras in the Shinra Mansion were loading JUST the candle flames until I was about 2 feet away from them haha.
Out on the grasslands I’m seeing some lost frames, but I think getting a specific shader replacement for large textures, like mountainside, might be able to alleviate that.
- Comment on Playing FF7Rebirth 1 month ago:
No worries. Thanks regardless :)

Which ones? Just looking for a starting list

- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your Deck or Machine? - September 2026 2 months ago:
Yeah!
The more complex ones I’ve seen are Mass Effect and anything on the Resident Evil engine.
Anything with mod dependencies (like REframework) has some issues. I just kept having issues with crashing when trying to mod a skin for Diana in PRAGMATA and setting up a currency multiplier haha.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your Deck or Machine? - September 2026 2 months ago:
Most of the ones I’ve seen are the standard
“Drop this .pak in a ~mods folder” type mods.
But I only have a few mods. A texture to replace the buster sword with the metal Chocobo from Kingdom Hearts, a restore Tifa’s outfit to the OG version type mod (this removed the black undershirt thing), and one to get more materia in stores.

I should clarify I only got 100% exploration and beat the enhanced bosses in Unknown Signal for Pragmata. I could usually get the “important” rewards from the trials but gave up on some of them pretty quickly.
I hope they announce a sequel soon, but would be perfectly happy if it was a one-off game.
I’ve got some performance mod for E33 and it seems pretty solid. Only issue I’ve seen so far is that the hair all turns white in the character select menu. Manor might look funky too tbh. But I was getting a very stable 30 FPS in the prologue with solid looking graphics.
I also beat act 1 on Xbox about a year ago, but also haven’t touched my Xbox since I got a Deck… so I’m excited to play the prologue and act 1 again.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your Deck or Machine? - September 2026 2 months ago:
Just finished up Pragmata!
I was torn between Expedition 33 and FF7 Remake + Rebirth. And I think I’m heavily leaning towards FF7.
I haven’t played the originals, and really only know about
Tap for spoiler
Aerith.
So I’m excited to start it!
I grabbed a couple if mods (Less Grunting, Metal Chocobo for Buster Sword swap, and a DSR disabling mod).
If you recommend any others, let me know ^_^

Haven’t done multiplayer, but out of the box I was getting stable 30 FPS during the offline training

Disabling Steam Overlay fixed it. Thanks!
- Comment on Pre-installed Games 2 months ago:
I’ll try some additional ones.
But nothing in particular for the games I have been trying to launch.
- Comment on Pre-installed Games 2 months ago:
I’ve tried both 1 and 3, but will def try 2 as well.
- Comment on Pre-installed Games 2 months ago:
Alternatively you can add them as a non-steam game and run them through steam
This is what I was trying to do.
I have them all set up and installed on a Games folder in either my SD card or SSD (depending on the game).
I add to Steam for the .exe and run via Proton Experimental or Hotfix or 11.
Via Desktop, the game launches, shaders cache, etc. but the screen is frozen on a gray or black or white blank screen — if I tab out or use the system key, I can see the game running fine in the background.
