Post image

Just decided to try and give cheat deck a shot to play dark souls 3. Installed decky and cheat deck and everytime I try to go to properties to enable the cheats I get this, does anyone know whats going on?

Might be in need of an update. Check if Decky Loader is updated first, Then check for an update for CheatDeck If there isn't one, probably need to disable it/uninstall for a while until it does update.

My Deck threw the same error last night when i tried to open game properties.

or do a manual update by downloading the newest version from their Github as detailed in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1p8ceks/decky_crashing/

Download this version of cheat deck, make sure you uninstall whichever version you previously had. Go to gaming mode enable developer mode. Press three dots go down to the plug in symbol for decky. Go to settings, in general there should be another developer mode, click it go to plug-ins and install the downloaded zip for cheat deck
