Bug Report Description

The decky menu is no longer showing up within the QAM on the January 11th Beta Client that was just released, the log below doesn't really show anything that really stands out to my eyes, but probably valve just rearranged some things in the UI that broke the injection again, as can happen.

Expected Behaviour

Decky should appear as an option in the QAM menu, but it does not.

SteamOS version

SteamOS 3.4.5 with January 11th Client

Selected Update Channel

Prerelease

Have you modified the read-only filesystem at any point?

No response

After reinstalling decky, the modifications come back, but the whole decky menu in ... stayed invisible.

Can confirm this. Latest SteamOS beta broke my Decky Loader. Tried uninstall and re-install of both stable and prerelease Decky version. Switching back to stable SteamOS channel brought Decky Plugin back.

I also noticed that while Decky Loader was gone, parts of my plugin changes persisted: vibrantDeck settings for example stopped working, but I was stuck with reduced CPU clocks I had applied in PowerTools.

Thanks for the reports everyone, please make sure to attach your own logs, preferably as a file so we can compare and contrast as needed.

@Matt1412 please upload those logs as a file please, currently the plain text logs make the thread difficult to utilize atm.

Thanks for the logs. According to AA he has a fix that will be ready for testing hopefully this evening (USA timezones) so be on the lookout for a pre-release to address the issue.

Same here in Germany. Surprisingly css loader is still active. Even after reinstalling stable and prerelease. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

same thing. I was just testing around with CSS loader and after the update I am now stuck with a hideous theme lol. hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Switch back to stable SteamOS to get Decky back. You can adjust everything, and go back to beta then.

So is this fixed now? Because yesterday stable wouldn’t work as well

[GordonFreeeman]

Erm... I reinstalled PowerTools via EmuDeck just too make sure, because that's a working fix when Decky disappears. It wouldn't show up in beta afterwards, no matter what, but reappeared immediately when I switched to stable.

Are you planning on fixing this for pre-release? I'm not interested in downgrading, but hoping a fix is in the works to bring decky visibility back for pre-release users.

Please read the thread fully. We're working on a fix. It's taking longer than expected.

Thanks for being on top of flanging up a fix!

[polledo30]

Thank you! 🍻😁

[Icing-weaponry]

the new pre-release Prerelease v2.4.10-pre1 seems to be working, only issue is with the steamgrid plugin but that's gonna be with the dev. Thank you very much for the update!

Thanks for the info, we've already the plugin developer and they should just need to bump their Decky Frontend Lib version, and then they should be fine!

[TrainDoctor]

Closing this issue as resolved unless a larger amount of plugins encounter issues.

[Logge1002]

Thanks for the help. Working again like a charm ❤️

[D1Ck3n]

pre release works also fo me :)
