Decky Loader UPDATED Guide : Recommended Plugins

[@Grapegum]

Thank you! Just got my Steam Deck out of the box and this is the first thing that I set up :)

[@2MACH]

been wanting this! thank you!

[@Sammo212]

Great stuff, nice tutorial. Going to do this tonight. Want to get Discord running on my Deck.

[@YouthInAsia1]

Just be aware, if you are on the beta branch Decky Plugin loader will cause your client to break right now on the stable plugin channel.

[@loaf0002]

isn't it the one where the ui gives errors

[@azuremoon4754]

Bro that happen to me I had to factory reset

[@cbatothinkofausername]

and you cant use the family thing on stable 😑

[@LaymanGamin]

What if I’m on the main branch???

[@Fire_Fury_Frenzy]

I’m about to buy a Steam Deck OLED soon so this video is really helpful. I’ve heard about CryoUtilities to help with performance & EmuDeck for emulation games. What else should i install?

[@MrCoffis]

You need to check for every game what settings to use with cryoutilities. Also undervolt your system through the bios to increase your thermal envelope and hence performance.

[@NunuaBusy]

is there a way to keep decky installed? it seems anytime steamdeck updates it disappears and its really inconvenient to hop back over to desktop especially on the go.

[@pussy_destroyer2294]

Never update steam deck before decky itself. Never update steam os. Update decky and all plug-ins first

[@leclubretro]

Same here !

[@KairosObj]

@@pussy_destroyer2294 and how does one update decky plugins etc? Reinstall?

Font won’t work on CSS loader OutRun Theme, any fixes?

[@user-zv3cx9pm7h]

HLTB plugin doesn't work anymore since December update or does VibrantDeck :/

[@josephtiessen]

So I just recently noticed I no longer have decky loader, it looks like it disappeared after an update so do I just keep reinstalling it every time that happens? Is that doing anything bad or am I going to end up with multiple copies on my internal SSD? Should I be clearing them out or is it fine to just keep redownloading them after updates make decky loader disappear? Also if I do redownload it will it still have all the applications I initially had downloaded or do I also need to redownload those. Thanks in advance for anyone who sees this and answers!

[@ThatsJustEric]

Same happened to me, i just said f it and did a factory reset

[@Woupsme]

Hmm, HLTB doesn't work for me. Reinstalled it and there are no updates. Same with PauseGames or what it's called ..

[@Spectre799]

Hi so it looks like after an update, my Decky loader bricked so I said fine I’ll reinstall it. Once I decided to do so, I go to put in my password and every time I do it tells I put no password in. What else do I need to do. I’m so annoyed

[@Swarmage]

Did you ever find a fix for this besides factory resetting steam deck

[@Spectre799]

@@Swarmage unfortunately no I didn’t. It’s fine tho. Steam is now letting you record games and its Deck verified so I’m not worried lol thank you tho

i updated my steam deck and decky is gone. i tried reinstalling it but it still doesnt show up. help me lol (problem solved)

[@jjtheman523]

Same for me, if anyone knows how to get deckyloader let me kno too

[@juanperalta7180]

Same here. Nothing is working.

[@popsnaro]

@jjtheman523 uninstall it and when you reinstalling it pick the prerelease version and do not update the plugin

[@dukenukem7043]

i just fixed mine , do u guys have syncthing ? that’s what is causing the issue

[@UnspecifiedVids495]

what i did is uninstalled decky, restart deck, then reinstall decky

[@adiwidodo8466]

Masyaallah ,,All of my plugin just disappeared recently after connected to the internet ,,decky loader ,grid db,powertools etc ,,all gone 😢😢😢 I don't know why

[@B3anBag98]

So my Deck would not boot beyond the Steam logo, I reflashed my image and came back here to find some plugins I forgot about, HLTB is now no longer available.. I am wondering if maybethatwas causing an issue and they removed it for now? Anyways, great Video! :D

[@GameTechPlanet]

HLTB is actually done in general. Its been removed from other apps as well and the database isnt accessible. Dont think its coming back

[@BlackViperGX]

I need help i want to erase emudecky from the homebrew folder but i can't it says i don't have permission to do it with the files inside, please help

hi even though i installed decky the decky pluggins menu doesnt appear in my steam menu is there a way to fix it?

[@wiz-lk4zo]

Did you get it fixed ?

[@bhrojas09]

[@kepalakardus2278]

After steam os update two days ago, my decky loader sometimes is error, any fix for this my friend?

[@GameTechPlanet]

Sometimes a fresh decky install or waiting for a decky update. Annoying when that happens. Hang in there

[@kepalakardus2278]

@@GameTechPlanet Thank you so much for the answer. i will wait for decky update then

[@dronzzz]

When i enter it doesn't tell me about a password its just empty and yes i changed my password

[@mpbrammer93]

does lossless scaling work on steam OS? How do you make it work?

[@GameTechPlanet]

Unfortunately not so far

[@captivatedlunt1895]

I need help. Every time I try to install it again it keeps asking for a Sudo/admin password I don’t recall even putting one. So now I can’t install in without a stupid password I have no idea about.

[@GameTechPlanet]

Just because its asking doesnt mean you made one. However some stuff requires it so it will ask either way. Go into desktop mode and create an easy one you will remember

[@captivatedlunt1895]

@@GameTechPlanet yeah I tried to make a password but then it kept saying authentication required policykit1 kde agent. So idk what to do anymore. Do you have any clue how to get pass that??.

[@leatherinfluence.official]

what is that game in the intro?

[@SoosRamirez1]

Why did my decky loader thing disappear

[@LaymanGamin]

Update

[@MK_1Ultra]

Oh yeah my deckyloader disappeared. How do we keep it installed?

[@BooleanDev]

rerun the installer

[@djlaw56what]

Anyone else having issues from pressing the steam/... buttons they just zoom in on me

[@mylesdarkkouga5877]

decky loader won't show up for me after the Steam OS update. I even uninstalled it and followed the tutorial again and it's still not there

[@gregcisneros140]

Try the pre-release version of Decky if you haven't.

[@KairosObj]

@@gregcisneros140 what if it wont let you set/change a password?

[@warlockboyburns]

If the superdepth3d shader worked with the reshade plugin that would save me a ton of hassle. It would have to be an injector I suppose.

[@Bi5cuit]

Is vibrant deck still available?

[@Pete_123]

Mine keeps giving me an error. Reinstalling did nothing

[@bryancruz3311]

Need to downloading the old version the new version isn't working for me so I just reinstalled any old version that works and it worked for me

[@sherlockhomes9919]

No powertools?

Not for me personally. But im aware how much some people love it

Any one have any advice for "cannot read properties undefined" I'm using deck settings 1.3.01 and it's happened on other plug ins

[@rabindradas8714]

How to uninstall this?

[@GameTechPlanet]

Easily and directions are on the github page showed in the videos for decky

[@opusdabiy]

if your sd wint go into desktop mode delete the recorder app , thank me later

[@jessieg.1744]

Decky loader pretty much just broke my usb c and may be the cause to my battery not charging now. Currently recalibrating the battery. Good times 😢😅
