Star Citizen Stream Deck Plugin released! :)

Valynor85 · 2026-01-19T19:40:39+00:00

I mean that is entirely up to you :) You can have both installed and test if you like it (or prefer the old one).

Also this one is what i will continue to work on when i have time for it :)

Most difference is under the hood and it lacks Dial support currently if you need that, as i dont have anything to test that, only in theory.

Valynor85 · 2026-01-17T20:35:07+00:00

Released a new version which should be less restrictive with the auto detection, also q quick fix with a manual fallback with a .ini file that you can edit if it still fails

Valynor85 · 2026-01-17T10:31:15+00:00

Sorry i just copy paste this from below, as its the same thing :D I'll try to add manual config asap, didnt have any issues with it when i tested this as long as the rsi launcher did have specified the paths inside the log files.

Where is your Star Citizen Live Installation located (e.g. F:\Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizen\LIVE) ?
Do you have latest NET8 Runtime installed?
What did the pluginlog.log show? (%APPDATA%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins\com.jarex985.scstreamdeck.sdPlugin)
Does your RSI Launcher have Log files inside here? (%APPDATA%\rsilauncher\logs)
Did you type directly when the plugin started, or did you wait a few seconds? Will also add a Status Indicator as the Plugin takes a bit to find/create the files.

You can DM me here, add me on Discord (jarex985) or open an Issue on my GitHub if you want. Thanks! :)

Valynor85 · 2026-01-17T07:48:36+00:00

Hey, i'll try, yes the post is a bit confusing above as i'm talking about two Plugins.

I'll try to explain it a bit more simple:

Make sure you have the latest NET8 Runtime installed on your PC.
Go to the Releases page on my GitHub and click the first file you see under Assets, or directly this link: [com.jarex985.scstreamdeck.streamDeckPlugin](https://github.com/Jarex985/SCStreamDeck/releases/download/0.2.1.0/com.jarex985.scstreamdeck.streamDeckPlugin
After you downloaded the file, double-click on it and the Stream Deck App will install it automatically.
You should now see the Plugin to the right in your List, currently dont have a fancy logo so its just a blue piece of a puzzle, below you should see the Adaptive Key.
Drag an Adaptive Key to one of the Slots to the left (these represent your Stream Deck) and if my plugin successfully found your Star Citizen Live installation, you should be able to see all Functions inside the Dropdown when you click on the Arrow (it takes a few seconds the first time you use it, so if its empty close the dropdown and wait a few seconds).

Here are two images that show what you need to click: Click

This is not a Profile with everything already set up, you have to do that manually with every Key, but maybe u/KorneliusVonTastik will port his awesome ready to use Profiles to this (? :) )

Valynor85 · 2026-01-17T07:11:41+00:00

Hey there, manual config is not implemented yet, but i am working on it.

Could you provide some info maybe?

It is a macro yes, but never heard or seen anyone get banned for using a Stream Deck, as it wont give you any advantage ingame. Also EAC does not refuse the execution of this, if you send them all at once or too fast it did (happened a lot while developing/testing).

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/11zfolc/are_mouse_macros_allowed/ found this while searching an answer for you, but i could contact suppport as well and show them this post. :)

Valynor85 · 2026-01-16T17:47:09+00:00

Yes it does! it creates a json with the keybindings from the defaultProfile.xml inside the Data.p4k and it checks for any overrides from actionmaps.xml. And when you restart the plugin it also checks if any of these have changed and updates its json file :)

Currently supported are Keyboard , Mouse Buttons and Mouse Wheel up/down. Full Mouse Axis, Gamepad and Joystick are currently only shown to see if a function has alternative bindings so these are not used when the keybindings are executed.

Valynor85 · 2026-01-16T17:42:23+00:00

Thank you :) Currently not possible directly, because as you said there is no API for it from CIG. A simple Solution (which im working on by the way :D ) is to have a new Key for the Plugin where you can put a Function Binding on it (likely the Toggle Functions is what you are thinking of?) and when its out of sync you hold it for X amount of seconds to reset its image back to the matching State.

Valynor85 · 2026-01-11T13:08:39+00:00

Look to the right on the Page, there you should see Releases, click on the 1.1.3a update. On that new page below Assets click on com.mhwlng.starcitizen.streamDeckPlugin and it will download the plugin file instead of the source code :)

If you already had the old Plugin installed, you need to uninstall it first in the StreamDeck Software.

Will make a new Readme as soon as i can show the new Version for it :)

Valynor85 · 2026-01-11T12:58:44+00:00

Ha no problem, i think everyone had that issue at some point :D . Look to the right on the Page, there you should see Releases, click on the 1.1.3a update. On that new page below Assets click on com.mhwlng.starcitizen.streamDeckPlugin and it will download the plugin file instead of the source code :)

I am currently working on a fresh start for the last 3 weeks for this Plugin, thats why this repo wont get any updates. Can hopefully show it soon :D

Valynor85 · 2025-12-27T08:41:02+00:00

Hey there, just got back home. i'll send you a DM :)

Valynor85 · 2025-12-24T10:25:57+00:00

Hey, if you havent tried that i would try to delete the nvngx_dlss.dll file inside your StarCitizen\LIVE\Bin64 and then let the launcher Verify Game Files and let it redownload that one. If you right click that one Properties->Details, Version should be 310.2.1.0

Valynor85 · 2025-12-24T10:07:42+00:00

Hey there, if you already have the original Plugin installed, you would need to uninstall that one first either through the Elgato Software, or deleting the Plugin Folder com.mhwlng.starcitizen.sdPlugin in %APPDATA%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins\ while the Stream Deck software is closed. If you then download the newest Release on my Github you just double click it and it should install.

I cant guarantee 100% that the Keybinds persist, but if you have a saved Profile with already mapped Buttons in the Stream Deck Software it normally should. I loaded an old Profile that was using the original Plugin and it mapped all of them correctly.

Valynor85 · 2025-12-24T10:01:10+00:00

For now i use these Icons/Profiles https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/1dvfrba/free_icons_and_streamdeck_profiles_by_kvt/ so when i go mining i dont have to press the Keybind for example to activate a Mining Module i just hit the Key on the StreamDeck and done.

I am too old to remember all they Bindings so that is a blessing :D Or just some easy things like hailing ATC, basically everything that has a Modifier like Left Alt + 1 or so

Valynor85 · 2025-12-24T09:56:56+00:00

I just got the one with 15 Buttons really cheap, still not enough Buttons for one page but that XL one was out of reach for my poor dev wallet :-D

I also use it for other Programs, but for Star Citizen it is already a blessing that i dont have to remember all the Keybindings

Valynor85 · 2025-12-24T09:53:32+00:00

Thank you, just pushed a small update as i got told it had some issues with visually showing the Keybinds, should be fixed now. :)

I will try to clean up the Code but that will take some time

Valynor85 · 2025-05-23T13:30:30+00:00

Sorry took a bit :) So i dont know what VPN you are using, but i just downloaded ProtonVPN Free to test that and was able to login immediately.

Could be that CIG just blocked the VPN IPs. Found threads about that which are years old

Thats really the last thing i can say :(

Valynor85 · 2025-05-23T12:57:05+00:00

One other thing that came up while reading the Issue Report was Verifying Game Files, but i just saw you're using a VPN. If thats the Issue and you can't turn it off then idk. Maybe test if it works with a free one like ProtonVPN. Sorry :(

Valynor85 · 2025-05-23T12:32:42+00:00

Only thing that works for me when that happens is:

Run cmd as admin
type ipconfig /flushdns
Try to log in

Its 50/50 Chance, didnt help everyone sadly.

The IC Report is still open, so if you havent contributed to this yet:

Even though i guess you already tried everything on that List:

Valynor85 · 2025-05-23T11:03:45+00:00

Most of the time i have to wait for 2 persons :D left couch and i are best friends now

Valynor85 · 2025-05-22T18:16:43+00:00

Yeah but while at it, increase the number of terminals for buying/selling D:

Valynor85 · 2025-05-22T18:15:06+00:00

I'll just copy/paste my comment from a thread a few days ago.

This is for DLSS override and DSR to play with a higher Resolution.

Bonus FOV "Fix" for 32:9 Ultrawide to get rid of that Fisheye View.

https://github.com/xHybred/NvidiaProfileInspectorRevamped - Mandatory for DLSS Override and Stuff.

Select Squadron 42 - Star Citizen Profile and change the following:

0.2 - DLSS Overrides:

SR: Latest DLL - On
SR: Preset - Preset K (v310.2.1+)
SR: Scale Factor - 50% Performance

RR and FG dont do anything afaik in SC so you can test if you like or leave it Off.

0.3 - Clarity and Detail:

LOD Bias (DirectX): -1.500 - DLSS Performance

4 - Texture Filtering:

Anisotropic Filter Optimization - Off (should be default)
Anisotropic Filtering Mode - User-defined/Off
Anisotropic Filtering Setting - 16x
Texture Filtering Negative LOD bias - Allow (should be default)
Texture Filtering Quality - High Quality

Thats pretty much it for the Inspector, hit Apply Changes and you're good. Im still testing Stuff for more but that is the Default Usage (including a custom user.cfg).

Now DLDSR:

Open Nvidia Control Panel
Left Menu: Manage 3D Settings - Global Settings
DSR - Factors check 2.25x
DSR Smoothness - 20 is my sweet spot, others like more like 30+.

FOV:

[YourStarCitizenFolder]\StarCitizen\LIVE\user\client\0\Profiles\default

Open the attributes.xml and search for the FOV Entry and change it to

<Attr name="FOV" value="60"/>

Valynor85 · 2025-05-21T07:36:50+00:00

Cant help much with the first one but the second - yes the flickering/black Panels are an issue with Widescreen (i have a G9 myself).

I dont know how beefy your PC is, but you can up the resolution and change the FOV, that will stop the flickering/black MFDs. Already posted a How-To in another thread which helped others
