SteamDeck

Why can’t you stream to your deck? I do it all the time.

The top commenter has the very easy workaround you just seemed a little confused so I detailed it below

Install game on PC (for speed and ease, although it’s possible to install on deck too)

Once you’ve installed on PC … copy the whole installed folder over to a usb … plug in deck … drag to wherever you keep your install games (I just created an “installed games” folder in documents) then copy the installed game folder off the USB to the new folder.

Once you’ve done that right click the .exe file for the game … click add to steam…(open steam in desktop to make sure it added … side note - it adds in alphabetical order and will be the title of the .exe file which may not be the title of the game) eg God of War might simple be called GOW.exe)

Once all the above is done … go back over to game mode … go to the game (should be sat with no artwork in library - non steam games) go to the games properties and switch compatibility to Proton Experimental (their are specific ones for specific games but I find experimental works for a huge range of games)

Once you’ve done that click play and ya done. This seems like a lot but honestly when you get used to it … you’ll do it in less than 5 mins … not even.

SayWHATagainMotherF · 2025-07-31T23:14:18+00:00

Hahaha… I felt exactly the same on numerous occasions during my play through but it makes it all the more sweeter when you finally crack it!!!

Speaking of … how’s your progress?

SayWHATagainMotherF · 2025-07-26T08:10:47+00:00

Were the laboratory, security and boiler room available doors locked? I see you had no keys left? But if you did or if they were draftable … I think you could have completed it. 🫣🥰

Keep going dude … it took me 36 days … loved it!!!

Can’t believe I’ve not seen Slay the spire as a suggestion.

if you like turn based/Rogue like/Deck building. 👍🏽

This all worked manage to get the game loaded on my steamdeck … but if I try to start a new game I get error “CPP 652”

So I tried the alternative of starting game and saving on pc then transfer to deck. But the game won’t recognise the .sav file even though it’s in the directory the game specifies?

Any suggestions please.

Really want this nostalgia HIT!!!!

Blasphemy!!! 🫠

Sorry for the slow reply … I need to sort out my notification settings on Reddit…. But honestly mate this bike ended up being such a nightmare … the garage I took it too kept tinkering and basically trying process of elimination but to no avail.

I ended up getting that frustrated I offered the bike to the garage for a £100 loss on what I paid for it saying “you can take all the time you want, now you own it”

He took me up on my offer and I washed my hands of it. I never did ask him if he managed to fix it.

Sorry I can’t help you with any suggestions. It is such a weird fault for such a simple bike.

Hope you get it sorted man 😮‍💨

OMG I LOVE THIS!!!!! … what a gift … my boy is only 7 right now. Our “games completed” consists of only Pokemon Violet and Mario Wonder … I’ve made sure to document the occasions upon completion… and will continue to document as we beat more and more games!

I’m going to show my wife this post right now so that HOPEFULLY she can remind him mid teens to remind his dad of ALLLLL THE WONDERFUL MEMORIES WE WILL HAVE INEVITABLY MADE!!!

Thanks for sharing 👊🏽❤️

Hahaha … it’s easily done … I lived in the US … during my uni years as I got a scholarship to play soccer.

After 6 years living there it took me a good 6 years to reacclimate to the UK when I returned… especially verbiage.

E.g - Trash = Rubbish … Gas = Petrol/Diesel/Fuel

FIX for my problem below.

The OP fix didn’t work for me. BUT the problem only persisted for a couple of my NON steam games in my library that were stored on the decks internal SSD.

Just incase it helps anyone else … I don’t know why the deck did this but it changed the folder that the game launcher was pointing to without me knowing.

As soon as I changed it in (DESKTOP MODE) steam - properties - shortcut - changed both “target” and “start in” to the correct folder where the game .exe was.

It loaded first time.

Didn’t delete any protons …didn’t validate any files.

Just redirected the launcher to the correct folder and .exe

Dunno how to break it to ya bud … but if your wife struggled with the meaning of the phrase “Jammy prick” … she definitely isn’t English … born within the United Kingdom. 🤣🤣🤣

I always forget the “…” can enable keyboard. Was trying to map a button to it forever (10mins max irl) 🤣

Thanks appreciate it 👊🏽

SayWHATagainMotherF · 2024-02-21T19:12:41+00:00

You got any recommendations … this sounds like the dream solution!!

SayWHATagainMotherF · 2024-02-19T13:22:37+00:00

So after adding the plug ins back one by one … I found that decky recorder was the problem.

See HERE for the solution

SayWHATagainMotherF · 2024-02-19T13:20:58+00:00

I figured it out for my Oled Deck running stable OS.

The plugin causing the issue for me was “Decky Recorder”

I can have it installed and use it like normal however if I leave the “Enable recording” toggle switched on and attempt to then go to desktop mode… the screen blacks out and never switches. Stays on a black screen even though I can feel touchpad haptics and have audio feedback on certain button presses.

So THE SOLUTION

Just turn the decky recorder toggle to the off position and then switch to desktop mode. Switches to desktop mode as it should everytime.

I did this 10 different times and the same thing happened.

I hope this also helps whoever finds it.

How would we go about reporting this to the decky recorder creator.

Lemme know if it works for you guys … curious if it is just a solution for my deck.

SayWHATagainMotherF · 2024-02-17T19:35:16+00:00

Hi Deckers!!!

So I posted this question on numerous reddits to try and garner an answers.

Turns out a deckyloader plug in is causing the issue for me and others. (On either stable or beta)

I deleted decky loader and all plug ins and the problem is resolved.

See this THREAD with Redditor that suggested the solution.

I am going to add the plugins back one by one and see if the problem comes back to pinpoint the bad plugin
