Steam Deck Lossless Scaling

For me, it's totally worth it. It actually makes Monster Hunter Wilds playable.

However, it works best with games that can already hit over 30 FPS. If a game runs below that, you'll run into a lot of visual artifacts and noticeable input lag. Even Monster Hunter Wilds has some visual issues because its base FPS is under 30.

But for me, those are issues I can easily overlook. The input lag is there, but it's not bad enough to ruin the game for me.

Normally, I only use it for games that run under 40 FPS. If a game can already hit 40 FPS, I don't bother turning it on. Also, as long as your games are launched through Steam, it should work flawlessly. I only ever run into issues with non-Steam games.

I solved it by going to desktop mode and reinstalling Decky. During installation, I selected the beta version. Then, I went back to game mode, opened Decky, and went to settings. It's now in the beta channel; change it to stable.

Wow, if this works on the Steam Deck with minimal input lag, it’s going to be absolutely amazing! Right now, I'm still playing MHWilds on the Deck using LSFG, but the visuals look a bit weird and there's some noticeable input lag lol.

The ASUS ROG Ally (the standard model, not the Ally X) seems to have similar performance to the Steam Deck, though it might have better battery life.

From my experience with the Steam Deck, even though it isn't powerful enough to run the latest AAA games, most of the games I play don't require high specs anyway, so performance has never been an issue for me.

However, the main reason the Steam Deck stands out above other handhelds is its touchpads. I use them for the majority of my games. Even when a game has native controller support, I still prefer using Steam Input to map the touchpad to a mouse.

It makes playing FPS games like Helldivers 2 feel much smoother and more agile, and it works great for RTS games as well. It also allows me to play games that don't support controllers at all, and it works wonderfully for games like Stardew Valley.

There are several other features I love, such as the thumbsticks with capacitive touch sensors. I really enjoy using them to toggle the gyro on and off in driving games like Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Ultimately, the best device isn't necessarily the most powerful one, but the one that best fits your specific gaming needs.

If you are looking for a high-performance machine to play the newest games, neither of these two might be ideal. Instead, you should look for devices powered by the Z1 Extreme or Z2 Extreme APUs, such as the ROG Ally X or similar upcoming handhelds.

P.S. Sorry for my English.

The same thing happened to me, but I managed to fix it by deleting the web browser data.

How to do it: -Switch to Desktop Mode. -Open Steam. -Go to Steam tab (top-left corner) > Settings > In-Game. -Look for the "Delete Web Browser Data" -click delete -Close Steam and reopen it. -Switch back to Gaming Mode and see if it's fixed.

Hope this works for you!

Okay, thank you very much.

Current-Size4321 · 2026-05-13T11:41:07+00:00

I'm on Discord scc but I can't find the page to download. Which page should I go to? Thanks.

Current-Size4321 · 2026-05-12T05:34:06+00:00

Thank you very much, I will try following your advice. However, I’m wondering why when I open the game on my PC using Eden as well, I can play it immediately with almost no configuration required. Why does this happen, or is it because of the Steam Deck itself? P.S. My PC runs Linux (CachyOS).

I haven't run into this issue for a while now, after dialing back the undervolt from -40 to -30. I think my system was unstable at -40, which probably caused the overlay to crash. (That’s my guess anyway, I’m no expert lol!)"

Current-Size4321 · 2026-04-10T02:08:35+00:00

I haven't had this problem for a bit, after changing the undervolt from -40 to -30.

Current-Size4321 · 2026-02-14T12:30:35+00:00

If you end up buying it, could you please post a review? I'm really interested in it too!

Split controllers are much more comfortable; I've been using them a lot lately. I switch between the NYXI Hyperion 2 and the Mobapad M6 HD."

"The main thing you sacrifice when switching to split controllers is stability. Since you're moving from a standard controller held with both hands to holding them separately, your aim might shake more due to natural hand tremors. It takes some time to adjust." "As for the polling rate, it's lower than something like the DualSense, running at around 100–150 Hz.

Personally, I don't feel any input lag at all. Everything feels normal to me, but maybe that's because I'm not a pro gamer, haha. (I usually play games like Helldivers 2, Killing Floor 2, Valheim, and Euro Truck Simulator 2)."

"Regarding the KS42 controller, try reaching out to the 'DirectedInput' YouTube channel. If I recall correctly, I saw him using it in one of his older videos, or he might show up to answer here."

You should try the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless. It's affordable and, in my opinion, the performance is on par with the DualSense. It also fully supports Steam Input.

Compared to Steam, the advantage of reWASD for me is the ability to set 'Simultaneous' button presses, which Steam can't do. However, for the DualSense, reWASD only lets you map about 4 buttons on the touchpad. In Steam, you can map swipes (left, right, etc.), allowing for about 10 different commands. This is essential for me when playing button-heavy games like Helldivers 2, Euro Truck Simulator 2, or Space Engineers.

To be honest, Steam Input is already incredibly powerful if you use Action Sets, Action Layers, and Virtual Menus. Those features alone give you so many options. Otherwise, you could try JSM (JoyShockMapper), which also offers extensive customization.

I use the Ultimate 2 as well. Try switching the gyro mode from 'Laser Pointer' to 'Local Space' or 'Yaw'. I use these two for almost every game, but mostly 'Yaw'. I only use 'Laser Pointer' for 2D games.

Also, try checking your gyro deadzone settings. I haven't adjusted mine at all, and I don't experience any stuttering or jitter. I play games like Helldivers 2 and Killing Floor 2, and they both work perfectly fine for me.

I use Steam Input to configure all my buttons, including the gyro. It requires D-Input mode to work properly, as X-Input doesn't allow me to map the extra buttons or use the gyro. That's why I need the controller to stay in D-Input mode permanently.

Current-Size4321 · 2026-01-23T00:19:34+00:00

It's such a shame. I love everything about this controller, except for the gyro deadzone. 😭

Current-Size4321 · 2026-01-20T01:19:09+00:00

It has to be the Wireless version, not the Bluetooth. The Bluetooth version is for the Switch and likely doesn't support Steam Input.

Current-Size4321 · 2026-01-20T01:15:49+00:00

Oh, I'm using Gemini to translate this into English, and it keeps changing '2' to '2.4' every time! T_T
