Encountering the same problem, less than 10 seconds after being in game mode all the plugin stops working Can't uninstall,reload or do anythings in decky settings and it switch by itself on "prerelease" I can only enter in the powertools plugin, css loader is giving an error, animation changer shows everything in default, the plugin downloader is not working too

It seems like the updater process is not working. Please backup your homebrew directory and then uninstall decky via the Desktop shortcut (this will not remove your plugins or configs) and then execute sudo rm -r /home/deck/homebrew (THIS WILL DELETE THEM, BACKUP HOMEBREW DIR BEFOREHAND!!!). Replace everything but the plugins directory into the new homebrew folder. Re-install your plugins one by one. Restart each time you install a plugin and see if anything changes. In order to grab logs for the entire process, run journalctl -u plugin_loader.service > loader-backend-testing.txt to grab the logs. I have been unable to replicate this issue locally. Thanks.

This may be addressed when #373 is merged. Go ahead and give the binary from the PR a try and see if it helps. 👍

Hello, Excuse my dumbness, but how do I incorporate this solution into my steam deck?

@coldfirefusion001 You'd just update decky from the deck UI or via the installer. But this issue is from feburary, so you'd probably already have the version with this fixed.
