You must own Lossless Scaling for this to work.

My experience with using it generally good. It has way less added latency than game's built in frame gen through FSR/etc. which makes it the only viable frame gen option for most games on deck.

If you can get a fairly consistent 30fps in a game, you can use this to go up to 60fps and have it work pretty well. If you're running below 30 fps or if the game's fps is very unstable, this may add too much input latency or not feel smooth.

Is there some secret to running it? Almost every time the game just refuses to start if I add the launch option

Make sure you follow the install instructions. You have to download the Decky-lsfg-vk.zip file and install it using decky developer options. Also have to have Lossless Scaling from steam installed. I could not get Lossless Scaling to run at all no matter what version of proton I tried. So i disabled proton compatibility altogether for Lossless Scaling. I think it just needs to be there.

I had other steam Launch Options and I couldnt get get it to work until I put the ~/lsfg right before %command%.

I also uninstalled Decky LSFG-VK with the very bottom button and reinstalled and both Lossless Scaling Installed and lsfg-vk installed turned green with a checkmark.

I also disabled every toggle and set the plugin to 2X.

Then it worked. So far the only toggle I have enabled is Performance Mode and Flow Scale is at 80%.

Hope that helps.
