I have decent internet, not the best but it's alright for me. 100/100, my WiFi in general is not bad. Works well on my Phone, last time i tried it on my PS5 it just worked fine no interruptions, same with my Switch.

But the Deck, i seriously don't understand what's wrong here. Whenever i try to stream games, doesn't matter if it's through Moonlight or the Steam Remote, if I'm on WiFi on the deck, the game starts out good, but then after a while it slowly just kills itself. I get the network indicator that something is wrong with the connection. This goes to the part where the game can just become a complete mess of pixels, doesn't respond to inputs whatsoever so i have to go to my pc to turn it off. This ALWAYS happen after like 5 minutes of playing too, doesn't matter what game i am playing, same thing.

I do have a dock for the deck, if it's plugged in with Ethernet there's absolutely no issues whatsoever, game just runs fine.

Tried streaming to both my phone and to a tablet i have, both on WiFi and there the game just... works? it can stutter sometimes on WiFi but that's normal since there's a lot of connections around me. But it never goes as bad as when i try to stream to the Deck.

This is only when streaming, playing online on my Deck works fine, tried Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, Tekken, Street Fighter, and there the games just work fine online, but streaming?

This sucks because sometimes i want to play more demanding games if i'm laying in my bed or so and i don't want to just pull an ethernet cable through my entire apartment just to hook it to my Deck for something like that lol.

SteamOS on the Deck

Linux Nobara on my PC.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a little personal side project that I'd love to get some feedback on.

I've built a Decky Loader plugin for SteamOS/Bazzite that lets you browse and install Nexus Mods directly from Gaming Mode. The idea was basically: why should I have to leave Gaming Mode and go into Desktop Mode every time I want to manage my mods?

So, this lets you browse your mods, install them, manage Collections and FOMODs, and generally handle your mod setup without picking up a mouse and keyboard. There's also a health check which reads the game's logs and tries to tell you what's actually broken, rather than just saying "something went wrong".

It's very much an unofficial, beta, personal project, this isn't an official Nexus Mods product.

Everything uses the public Nexus Mods API with your own account. A Premium account is currently required for downloading (free accounts can still browse), and you'll need Decky Loader installed.

I've currently got support for:

  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Elden Ring (including co-op)
  • Fallout 4
  • Fallout: New Vegas
  • Resident Evil 4
  • Skyrim SE
  • Slay the Spire 2
  • Stardew Valley
  • The Witcher 3

I've personally installed, modded and played each of these on actual SteamOS/Bazzite hardware before adding them, but there's obviously a lot of hardware, game versions and weird mod combinations out there that I haven't feasibly been able to test.

You can grab it here:

https://github.com/RedRanger14/decky-nexus

I'd genuinely love feedback, whether that's bugs you've found, things that feel clunky, features you'd like to see, or games you'd like me to add.

There's a "Report a Problem" button built into the plugin which creates a GitHub issue with your setup information, so hopefully you don't have to spend half an hour explaining exactly what Steam Deck/Bazzite/Game/Plugin versions you're running.

One important warning: this does modify game files, so please back up any saves you care about. Every supported game can also be reset back to vanilla from within the plugin.

Anyway, that's the project! It's something I've been tinkering with in my spare time and I'm really interested to see whether it's actually useful to other SteamOS/Bazzite users.

If you'd like to, give it a try and let me know what you think.

had the steam deck for a while now and my gaming habits have shifted in a way i didnt expect. i used to think i was a long-session kind of gamer. boot up something big on the weekend, play for hours, get lost in it.

the deck kind of rewired that. because its so easy to pick up and put down, i find myself doing 20-30 minute sessions way more often. a quick run in a roguelike before work. half an hour of a jrpg in bed. a couple of races here and there. and honestly the total amount of gaming i do has gone up, not down.

its weird because i used to feel like short sessions were pointless. like if i couldnt dedicate an evening to a game it wasnt worth starting. now short sessions feel like the default and the long marathons are the exception.

anyone else had their gaming style change after getting a deck? or is it just me who used to be weirdly gatekeeping about session length

For a very long time I got AC:BF on my wishlist. Read very often that this game is a good one. At least AC never was a topic for me but the setting of BF seems to be fun.

During "sleeping" on my wishlist they announced "Resynced" and I read some publications. There are some QoL changes, slightly "newer" aesthetics and some changes in combat - so BF was thrown off my wishlist and Resynced went on.

After it's release I waited some days to check first reviews. The reviews seems at first to be not really positive but this seems to be based on "aggressive" cash-grapping for in-game aesthetics and stuff like that.

But besides that:

If you have to do a decision between the "original game" and "Resynced" for the Steam Deck - which would you choose an why? Does Resnyced run well on the Deck (at least stable 30 FPS w/o dips?)?
