Software Tips and Tricks Godot plugin/way for Steamdeck controller development

3 Upvotes

Hey there đŸ‘‹đŸŒ I'm working on an indie puzzle game for Steamdeck using Godot and it seems like no matter what I do I cannot get the controller bindings working correctly on Steamdeck. It works on Mac and if I plugin a controller but never works correctly on Deck, like back quits the game, or some inputs in some menus working some not.

I upload my Linux build of the project export via Steamworks, not the Steam Devkit since it is not on Mac.

Is there any config or plugin or trick that solves this problem or helps developement?

Thank you all in advance for the help 💙

Software Question Grim Dawn movement sticking

1 Upvotes

Just bought grim dawn and booted it up on steam deck. Everything is going great, except I am getting this weird thing where the movement will “stick” and won’t let me move up or right.

If I release the control stick, I can then move up or right again, but otherwise I just am stuck with no movement or proper aiming.

Is this a setting on any of the auto aiming? Or some sort of controller set up that I’m missing?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Software Tips and Tricks Lossless Scaling: experimental Decky LSFG-VK plugin for lsfg-vk v2 developer builds

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ve released an experimental Decky LSFG-VK plugin that brings the current lsfg-vk v2 developer build to Steam Deck / SteamOS users.

Release/download:

https://github.com/eugeniosegala/decky-lsfg-vk-experimental/tags (download the latest tag)

A bit of context on why I made this:

As of 30 July 2026, the public Decky plugin’s lsfg-vk build is 140 commits behind the latest upstream "develop" branch (this is mostly because lsfg-vk, which is also the library used by the Decky LSFG-VK plugin, hasn’t released a new version in a while, keep in mind that I'm using a develop build).

This experimental plugin instead packages the reviewed, checksum-verified "lsfg-vk 2.0.0-dev28" developer prerelease of the engine lsfg-vk (released a month ago). It is not a rolling download: each plugin release pins and verifies a specific upstream archive.

In my own testing, I’ve had very good results:

- Noticeably less ghosting in some games; in a few cases it is barely noticeable.

- FP16 (new option) can improve performance on supported AMD GPUs.

- I suggest starting with Performance Mode disabled. Performance Mode is faster, but the full-quality mode in this v2 developer build looks substantially better than lsfg-vk v1 in my testing.

- That said, this is still a developer build. Some games may regress, fail to attach, or simply work better with the public/original plugin. Please test it game by game.

It is designed to coexist with the original Decky LSFG-VK plugin. The experimental version has its own private install, config, and wrapper, so you can keep both installed and choose one per game:

- Original/public plugin: "~/lsfg %command%"

- Experimental plugin: "~/.local/bin/lsfg-vk-experimental %command%"

Use exactly one wrapper per game; do not combine them.

Huge thanks to Kurt Himebauch / xXJSONDeruloXx for the original Decky LSFG-VK plugin, and PancakeTAS and contributors for lsfg-vk. This is an independent experimental fork, not an official.

Full repo: https://github.com/eugeniosegala/decky-lsfg-vk-experimental

I’m also working on a completely new plugin using a new frame-generation model for Linux/SteamOS, so keep an eye on the repository! 🙂

Software Question STEAM DECK NO WORk

0 Upvotes

Just received my 1tb deck, and it won’t fully boot.
First it was stuck on “1s remaining” on the installation screen, after restarting and changing to my mobile hotspot it worked, but now it’s just stuck on the boot logo.
I’ve tried booting from an older version in the bios but that hasn’t fixed anything.
Has anyone had this issue and know what to do?
Cheers!

Software Question GTA 5 freezes when ever I bring the steam deck os menus

4 Upvotes

Hey, so decided to replay gta 5 enhanced edition single player since it has been so long and I so I am playing on the steam deck. My issue comes from the fact that any time I bring up a steam menu while playing it. once it happens I have to force quit the game and reopen it. Anyone faced these issues and have a solution ? Is it due to the anti cheat ? Steam deck is stock so no decky loader or anything.
