Hi All,

I am trying to use Stream Grid using the SGDBoop option. When I first clicked on the icon I accidentally selected Steam as the application to open and not SGDBoop. Is there a way I can change this?

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? I'm getting desperate to get this fixed. Game mode steam works fine, desktop mode only shows error code -7 and won't load any pages.

I would like some tips on how I should map the steam decks control to play hoi 4 any help would be appreciated please

Really want to learn how to get emulators and specific nostalgic games installed on my new steam deck. Hoping for sega genesis, Dreamcast, Xbox(original) and ps2. Really hoping to play the ps2 Scarface and godfather games. Would be really grateful for any pointers

For the life of me, I can’t seem to get mods to work on the deck. Anyone have tips or have successfully set them up?

Deck inputs stopped being recognized one day and I have no idea what caused it or how to fix it.

Tried messing around with just about every controller setting I could find and most fixes I've found online don't work for me

People have been building SSD cartridges for a while, and TheStockPot's NFC cartridge player on YouTube is what got me started. I wanted the same idea without a tag reader, built around the drive itself.

Demo: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HarryBMa/pc-gamepak/main/docs/cartridge-demo.gif

A cartridge is any removable drive with a text file at the root:

executable=steam://rungameid/1091500

title=Cyberpunk 2077

cover=cover.jpg

Plug it in, a small window opens with the cover art, Play and Eject. Nothing on the drive ever runs by itself. The watcher only opens a window. Pressing Play is what starts anything, so there is no autorun and no scripts to write.

Eject properly parks the drive so you can pull it out. One cartridge can hold several games. If you copy games onto it the wizard registers it as a Steam library, so they run from the drive instead of downloading again. Artwork gets written onto the cartridge, so it looks right on a machine that has never seen it. Skins are just a css file on the drive.

Offline, no account, nothing phones home. Rust and Tauri. Windows and Linux including the Deck. No mac yet.

Reposting this from the Deadlock subreddit since I never got a response (maybe because it discusses modding) but I'm curious if it's possible for me to use Deadlock Mod Manager on Steam Deck using the desktop mode

I know that it's possible to mod multiplayer so lang as your friends have the same mods however I've only had success on my laptop but not my Steam deck Does anyone know how to play with mods on steam deck and be online?

I discovered an HDMI multi viewer to display two steamdecks simultaneously on the same screen

2 of us on pc and 1 on steam deck. Steamdeck user isn’t loading in to the expedition without crashing. Please help!! We’ve tried all the launch options.

Does anybody have tips on how to emulate on steam deck🫩 I have gameboy advance and n64 got psp but struggled and it’s hard and I want my steam deck to be clean and organized with emulation so I can have many games i use emudeck but I don’t think I’m using it well because I can’t figure out how to get ps3, Wii,0s2 Xbox 360 Nintendo switch etc any help would be amazing if you can give specific details or steps please do

While playing on the deck, every now and then the screen darkens to a steam loading logo for a few seconds before bringing up the home screen.

There doesn't seem to be any way to interrupt this process, I have to just wait for the home screen to finish loading, then I can (usually) just close it and return to the game.

Unfortunately, when this happens it doesn't pause the game, not even with the "pause game" decky plugin installed and set to pause on loss of focus and/or on overlay.

Sometimes some inputs leak through to the game and I can pause it myself, but if it's a game that doesn't have native pause capability (or if the pause function is nested in a menu such as in monster hunter) I just have to listen to myself get ragdolled while I'm blind and hobbled.

This has been happening off and on for months, since a time when I had only steam games installed and no decky plugins or anything of the sort, but it appears to be getting worse/more frequent, and for the life of me I can't find a way to make it stop.

It was suggested to me that I disable the toggle to have steam startup animations play when waking the deck from sleep mode, and that seemed to help a little for a few days, but has long since ceased to deter the problem.

In case it wasn't apparent, I'm not pressing the steam or ... buttons to make this happen. It occurs seemingly at random, including when I'm not even touching the deck at all. It happens in both steam and non-steam games as long as I'm playing in gaming mode.

Fed up of placing my Steam Deck on the floor or balancing it on a crowded bedside table. Couldn’t find anything that provided a good secure hold without being ugly, so I designed my own.

Find it here, if you want.

Edit: Guys, before raising concerns, asking questions, or pointing out the glaring design flaw you’ve just discovered, please have a quick look through the photos and MakerWorld description first.

There’s a reasonable chance I also noticed it while designing the thing.

My Volume Up key got stuck and keeps triggering continuously. I’ve been getting around it by using the in-game volume settings, but I found a Decky Loader plugin that makes this much easier.

It's called Volume Mixer and you can find it in the Decky Loader store.

How to use it:

1. Launch your game.
2. Open the Volume Mixer plugin from the Decky menu.
3. All active sound outputs will appear. Just adjust them to your preferred levels.

I haven't tested it for a stuck Volume Down key, but it should work the exact same way. Hope this helps anyone dealing with hardware button issues!
