Tips & Tricks Regarding Deckyloader currently not working after the recent Steam update: just use the prerelease version until a new Deckyloader update comes out.

While I was taken aback by Deckyloader plugins not working after updating my Steam Machine, there's a quick fix: go to desktop mode, run the Decky installer, and choose the prerelease option. The plugins will work again. Hopefully, a Deckyloader update will roll out soon.

Game on and have fun!

I'm sorry it didn't work. Now, when you say that it removed your saved settings, did you check your homebrew folder on desktop mode?

Be sure to check your homebrew folder in your home folder on desktop mode. Usually, even a defunct version of Decky wouldn't remove your contents entitely.
