13 hours agoIs it painful to go back to stable from beta? Like, do I risk losing anything… Steam input options, settings, anything like that? I never know when some new-to-me feature I just dicovered is beta or not.
I previously uninstalled Decky because it broke my Steam Deck too often, and the advantages just weren’t compelling enough to deal with that. I’ve wondered several times if going back to the stable branch would make it work better, and if I should try it again, and I’m glad you confirmed that it does.
So what happens? The screen just goes black in the middle of a game? I guess that would be a clue to plug it in, if you’re expecting it.
Right now, having it shut down when you didn’t realize the battery was low is really annoying.
But here’s something I’ve done many times. I pick up my Deck, I turn it on without thinking, and it turns out it’s at 0% (or very close to it), and—as the screen comes on and the CPU wakes up—the voltage has suddenly dropped below the low-voltage shut off, so it shuts down immediately. Really sucks.
I did this like three times before I learned to always plug in the Deck before turning it on if i’m not certain I have good battery.
So what would happen with this plugin installed? Would it wake up and then immediately go to sleep again? Or is there a threshold where it doesn’t check if it should sleep within a certain period since waking up? In that case, it would likely shut down as normal. But I’m wondering if there’s a chance the plug-in catches that and makes it go back to sleep. Because that would be excellent as long as I knew what was happening.
