It's downvoted because it doesn't address the core problem of FSR not turning on.
It wasn't that big of a leap to try out all the steps in the guide with the setting set to sharp in case things were renamed. I had already tried that 2 evenings ago, even before I saw other discussion online explaining it.
The real problem is that FSR1 won't turn on. Having the menu options renamed is just a confounding factor to it
There's no "turning on" FSR. It's a simple per pixel scalar.
If your game is not running at the native resolution and you're stretching it, Steam Deck is upscaling it. How it upscales is entirely defined by that setting. Sharp means FSR.
That's it. There's no way for this to fail, otherwise you'd be seeing a tiny window for the game.
Then explain why gamescope keeps showing me "FSR: OFF" no matter what settings I use
Because you apparently are not capable of setting a game to a window with resolution inferior to the native screen.
So you have absolutely no actual advice to give. You're just here to be a shit.
Yeah, you're not worth bothering with anymore. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, douchbag.
People gave you the exact solution to your "problem", which isn't actually a problem but rather the expected behavior of FSR 1.0 being implemented as a shader.
You then downvoted and complained about the user. There's no extra advice to give: you rejected or is incapable of using the feature as designed, what else can anybody do for you?
