Now decky loader does not appear with the new update, back to stable. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675200?emclan=103582791470414830&emgid=3414317363013182309

Thanks for the report, for now we recommend users swap to stable steamos for the moment. We're tracking the issue and any logs you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Addition: The settings button is gone, but the injections / CEF still work. CSS Loader still does its job. Is there a way (settings file option) to enable remote debugging again? - I guess, that would give me access to the console.log output to check for errors ... (is it the cef forward = false option?)

suchmememanyskill commented 1 year ago

I have some obvservations:

Log with no plugins. The failed to inject SP thing is probably due to decky failing to restart steam, so until i restarted steam not a lot happened decky.log

@suchmememanyskill you might be onto something here. The QAM and Steam menu aren't being skinned by CSS Loader themes, but the rest of the system UI is. The issue might have something to do with the change in the identifiers for the menus.

I've already made sure this weird tab update won't affect themes (re-mapping the tab targets), it's in the latest dev branch of cssloader. For decky i think it's another issue

AA is currently working on deep re-writes to the backend towards fixing this. Update soon:tm:.

subworx commented 1 year ago

Yay, looking forward to this :) With current stable OS and beta client, decky doesn't work at all, even in the background - e.g. protondb badges are gone.

Zodiaksl commented 1 year ago

Hope progress is going well guys. All of the Steam Deck community is cheering you along and we hope to hear good news soon! :smile:

This is fixed in the latest prerelease of decky.

L0WR1D3Rz commented 1 year ago

Decky isn't working on latest preview. I tried uninstalling decky, reboot, install latest pre-release / release (tried both) , reboot and nothing. Decky doesn't startup. Any fix?

Pre-release will inject inconsistently into the QAM. AA is working on a further patch to address this issue and get the estimated %15 (roughly) of times when Loader fails to inject to the QAM. Please sleep/unsleep the deck, try restarting the steam client and or the deck as a whole.

Thank you Traindoctor

am i right in thinking that this sort of thing is going to be an ongoing issue unless Valve makes some changes to the OS which allows for this sort of plugin feature? I assume crankshaft has the same issues and there isn't any other way to make things more compatible from the plugin manager perspective?

It seems likely (to me) that the amount of breaking changes made by valve will decrease over time as they get closer to their final vision of steamOS. In my opinion they probably shouldn't make a full offical plugin system, both because that requires a lot of work from them and it will likely just add limits to the features of plugins. It would probably also slow steamOS development significantly.

Crankshaft does have these same issues, although Decky using react to inject instead of directly manipulating the DOM does seem to make it easier to fix issues.

james2432 commented 1 year ago

QAM doesn't seem to be getting injected more than 90% of the time. It doesn't matter if I sleep deck, reboot or fully power off. The plugins seem to be loading correctly as the cssloader is styling correctly, it's just hidden from the QAM, which sucks for using powertools

TrainDoctor commented 1 year ago

This should be fully addressed in the decky pre-release v2.3.1-pre2. Please provide any feedback and clarification/confirmation.

james2432 commented 1 year ago

seems harder to make it fail at all(haven't been able to make it fail yet) 🤘

Please install the latest pre-release via install script again. There was a bug with a recent release where when it updated it pulled non-existent files as the systemd service.

A quick heads up. SteamOS 3.4 gets promoted from Beta to Stable a few hours ago https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675200?emclan=103582791470414830&emgid=3646258449514531838

Will decky stable continue to work if I upgraded to 3.4?

We're not aware or any issues. Many of our users run on the preview branch which was on 3.4 long before it even was close to stable.
