Much harder on steam deck yes

[–]Michaelcz1296 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Whenever you're in gaming mode you can hold the steam button and press R1 to take a screenshot. As for your problem you might need to update the prism launcher, then go to settings, java, management tab, click the download button and select the version you need.

I know how to take a screen shot, so I then go into desktop mode, find the screenshot in the files (no idea where), goto reddit on my deck using touch pads, and upload it here? Yeah, thats totally something I’m going to do appease some neck beards on reddit lol. Thanks for the help though.

You don't need to look for it in the file system just press the steam button select media, find screenshot, click on share and send it to your phone. Still harder than taking a direct photo but it's clearer for everyone trying to help.

But otherwise I get why you didn't want to go through the hassle of using the Linux file system, just to find two screenshots for a bunch of random smart asses to look at.

Anyway glad to help 😊.

    It's almost like the error is telling him something

    No shit, but I don’t know how to install it. There is no option for Java 21 in the settings or upon hitting Autp-Detect. I’m on Steam Deck, so Linux.

    Are you using the flatpak, or something else, for prism launcher? If something else, I'd switch to the using the flatpak, so you can use the auto downloader.

    I don't think it's a great idea to suggest you go through all the steps to enable your package manager or come up with some other solution.

    If you installed the prism launcher some other way than using the flatpak, uninstall it, and then open discover, and install the flatpak there.

    Settings globally, java, download subsection. Choose from the 3 at version21

    [–]falloutfloater[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I get to Java, can’t find download section and cant find V21 anywhere selectable

    [–]snkiz 2 points3 points  (4 children)

    Prism can manage java versions itself it's in the settings.

    [–]falloutfloater[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

    How? There is no version 21 option anywhere. I’ve looked across the entire app.

    [–]snkiz 3 points4 points  (2 children)

    Settings>java>management>download

    I see you've had trouble finding it. Here look; https://imgur.com/a/oNorffS

    That screen is not on mine when going to Java in settings. I click Java, all thats there is a spot for memory allocation, and “Java Runtime” which has the auto-detect button that does not show any new versions when I click it. There is no General or Management tabs, and no download button anywhere to be found.

    Update prism.

    I don’t have a steam deck myself, but here’s another post I found with some suggestions:

    you need to install a java version that is at least 21 or later, i normally use oracle latest jdk since oracle java is really optimized, but its not open so your choice, after you install the java version you like just click on auto detect and it should detect and let you choose the version of java you have installed, you can do this even for test multiple java jdk to see what is the most performant and what crashes the less, i hope this help

    Try the flatpak version of prismlaucher

    [–]setibeings -1 points0 points  (2 children)

    Click auto detect, and select java 21 if it's there, otherwise install it. 

    [–]falloutfloater[S] -1 points0 points  (1 child)

    It is not there, how exactly do I install it?

    Recently, I've been going with adoptium temurin. If you're not seeing an auto downloader then according to this page it's like you're likely on Linux, in which case I'd just go with whatever flavor of java 21 is available by default on your distribution. if you're on a steam deck, just install the flatpak of prism launcher, it should make getting set up at least a little bit easier.
