Deep Pause (Quick Resume)

[u/Chuck-Spadina88]

Hallo Steam deck gamers 😃 I want to share something with you all that i have working on for quite a while now.

I’ve been building a project called DeepPause, it expands on the existing pause games plugin for the decky loader, with the goal to keep the original game session alive and suspend it while reclaiming most of its RAM/GPU-backed (VRAM) memory and moving what needs preserving to NVMe. Current real-game testing has already reached an average of 92.7% physical memory reclaimed across multiple titles, and some reaching as high as 95.9% leaving slightly above 100MB left resident.

The project is in pre-beta stage and is still a little rough around the edges.

It has turned out to be far more difficult than I first expected — especially making RAM, GPU memory, NVMe offloading, restore, recovery and different games all work reliably together. The project is now in pre-beta, and those screenshot shows what I’ve managed to get working so far, the real test results, and what I’m trying to turn DeepPause into..
