I would definitely enjoy a video on Decky and your favorite plugins, and also maybe just your opinion on it like whether it's worth using. I've had a deck for a while now but never got Decky because I don't know enough about it and am not sure I want to become reliant on something that seems to break with updates often.

I definitely didn't know about all of tricks and I'll be applying some of them (thx for your mangohud config). I'd like to see what Decky plugins you use and especially how you use them, e.g. if you tweaked something with CSS loader or have a fine-tuned curve set in Fantastic etc. Also, keep up the bloopers, it's a fun part and keeps me attached until the very end!

Glad to see you are posting more frequently Kyle. Could you by chance create an updated video on how to overclock the steam deck. I tried flashing the 116 bios to replace the current 119. While it did work and allowed me to change the tdp after turning it back on it force updated back 119 and restoring all settings back to default. Now the only way I get similar performance is by using fsr 3 mods. My goal was to have both an overclock and the mods working together. I have considered other overclocking methods that are software based. After 2 hours of trying to get Pacman to work now I just don’t know what to install. Currently I’m working on installing the latest amd drivers. I just need to figure out how to force steam os to use the new drivers

@cryobyte33 4 месяца назад

Let me address this one at a time: 1. Thank you for watching and commenting! 2. I've had an updated OC/UV video in the works for months, but every time it's finished Valve releases a new update and invalidates half of the video. If it stays stable for more than a few weeks now, I'd expect a video out soon-ish 🙂 3. To be honest, teh simplest way of using the latest drivers are to just use the Main branch in SteamOS. I had the later drivers running without update kernel and everything and it caused nothing but issues. Microstutters, crashing, the works. Sticking to Main with the Steam client on Stable or Beta seems to be the right move for running upstream. Hopefully this helps, thank you again!

I have used CryUtilites for a long time now, with no issue, but yesterday I updated it via the shortcut. Then I ran it. I selected 'recommended settings' My Steam deck froze up, so I restarted it. SteamOS would not start back up after several reboots. I ended up resetting the system. Its not a big deal, and in fact Im glad I had to do it. I now have 40 gigs free on the internal storage and the system seems a bit quicker :)

The new update 3.5.17 on Steam Deck finally adds the ability to dim the status LED. I think it’s a huge deal for those of us with a translucent shell. One thing to note; on my OLED LE, if I go below 10 notches on the dial, none on the LEDs work. If I keep it at 10, only white LED works. Anything higher & color LEDs activate as well (when they’re supposed to)

Swapping cards is what I've been doing since i got my original LCD Deck. I have my favorites and more demanding games on the SSD. And then I have like 4 different SD cards for games organized in a way that makes sense for me. One card for steam games, one for non steam (Epic, Blizzard, GoG, ect, and one just for emulation.) organizing like like this made it easier for me to keep track of what games i have on hand.

@awakenedcrowl 4 месяца назад

2:00 Alternative for Tip 7: Use any Controller with Gyro. For best control, I recommend using the Steam Desktop Controller Profile to set your Gyro to control the mouse, set the Gyro Activation to your personal most comfortable shoulder button (so it only moves the cursor when you press the button, otherwise it can get pretty messy), put the 3 mouse button on the remaining triggers, and then put any other keyboard and mouse bindings (or even shortcuts) on the remainder of the buttons. You could even have one button that changes to another layer, that turns it back into controller mode, to easily control some desktop games without needing a whole separate mapping for them.

@cryobyte33 4 месяца назад

I think I'm just inept because even after 50+ hours of gyro gaming I still hated it 😂 For normal people, good tip though! Thanks for watching!

@awakenedcrowl 4 месяца назад

@@cryobyte33Fair. As someone who grew up with Nintendo, I've been using and adapting to it for ages. To me, Gyro feels even more natural and "secure to use" than any actual mouse (despite me also using those since early childhood), but not everyone's like me. Even on the normal Steam Deck, while I love the trackpads, I use Gyro to control the mouse when using mouse-heavy appliations like Blender.

@Skradgee 4 месяца назад

Hey Cryo: LOVE the channel! Is there a way to leave a specific “rollback” version of SteamOS permanently installed and available to choose to boot from (by holding + at power on) instead of just the two most recent ones?

@cryobyte33 4 месяца назад

Thank you so much for being a fan! To my knowledge, there isn't a way to keep older images and the logic for that is in the closed-source part of Steam. If you want to have something around you can revert to, though, I'd recommend taking a full disk image with something like Clonezilla and then just re-flashing it if necessary.

@TinkerTaverns 4 месяца назад

I think with that last one, steamOS now supports custom HUD changes by default, so you can create your own level 4 overlay, for example I can’t remember exactly where it is though

@cryobyte33 4 месяца назад

I actually just took the time to figure out how to reset the sudo password relatively easily so I can make a video on it: 1. Make sure to have a keyboard attached 2. While the Steam Deck is powered off, hold the 3 dot button and turn on the Deck. 3. The recovery menu will appear. On your keyboard highlight CURRENT (OS Boot Menu) then press the enter key. 4. The GRUB menu will appear. Highlight SteamOS then press "e" on your keyboard to edit the boot options. 5. Press the down key on the keyboard until steamenv_boot is highlighted. Press "end" to go to the end of the line. 6. Enter "- init=/bin/bash" without the quotes 7. Hold control and press x. 8. When it's booted to another command line run the command "mount -n -o rw,remount /" 9. Run the command "passwd deck" 10. Enter new password, press enter, retype the new password and press enter again. 11. Run "reboot now" That should be all you need to reset it without knowing the old password, I hope this helps!
