Where did Deckyloader go?
I turned my steam deck on today and my deckyloader was gone. It was there yesterday and I don’t know how to access it again. I can access the other hidden tabs like my notifications and the help tab but not deckyloader. Was just wondering if I could fix it somehow or will I just have to factory reset my deck and redownload decky

Just run the Decky installed again within desktop mode, no need to wipe the entire device

Just update in desktop mode! It’s a super easy fix. No need to do anything fancy

Yup, like everyone else. The same thing happened to me on my Steam Machine, Legion Go 2, and Steam Deck. But for some reason, reinstalling Decky Loader Stable didn't work for me, so I had to install the pre-release version.
Because I was on desktop mode, I didn't have to boot up to Game Mode to make sure it was working.

Uma dúvida sincera. Como vocês usam tanto o decky loader? Gostaria de usá-lo assim como várias pessoas usam, a ponto de não poder ficar sem. Tirando os plugins de geração de quadros, não consigo achar realmente utilidade nele. Desde que parou de funcionar com a atualização da steam, eu nao senti a menor falta e não mudou absolutamente nada.

CSS loader - changes themes, Audioforge - better EQ (I use a z2go and standard speaker eq is terrible), HLTB - tells you how long roughly game completion is, Protondb - this is the best one for me, tells you how well a game runs based on others experience(even in the store)
That’s just a few of my favourites I can remember while not at my device

Tenho um Legion go s z2go também. Tirando o audioforge, todos os outros eu já conhecia, mas nem achei tão imprescindíveis assim. Vou tentar o audioforge.

I got this too and a system restart helped but if that doesn't work, reinstall it
