Dnf duel EGS - Broke Steam Deck refresh rate lock and Lutris software
Basically what the title says. After I ran DNF duel on heroic launcher as a non-steam game on steam, the refresh rate lock on my steam deck stopped working and all of my Lutris games stopped working too (Even though nothing had changed prior to me starting DNF and closing it and going to play smth on Lutris).
Technically a couple of games on Lutris were working after DNF duel but I went to heroic launcher and turned off EOS thinking that might have caused something and that basically made those few games that were working to stop working at all. 😅

do you still have issues after restarting the deck?
games should only affect their prefix, nothing outside it, certainly not break any system option
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
yep
these issues have persisted
I at first couldn´t believe it but after I saw that turning off EOS broke the rest of the games... it is too much of a coincidence
manual-pink•2y ago
the only thing I can imagine is that you are sharing the same prefix for multiple games? I don't see any way that the EOS overlay can affect other games since it's applied inside a given game's prefix
are you using the same prefix for multiple games?
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
nope
dnf duel used its own prefix
my lutrix games use other prefixes
manual-pink•2y ago
and what errors do you get when you try to run those games? did it break games in heroic? you only mentioned lutris games
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
the lutris games? they just straight up don´t run
now I would like to mention
prior to changing EOS
manual-pink•2y ago
what happens if you install one lutris game? does new games work?
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
lutris did flash a wine message
in japanese (the games use japan locale)
manual-pink•2y ago
I imagine lutris has some way to see logs when something fail, not a lutris user though)
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
but I had no time to translate it
and after the EOS change
it stopped showing up
nope
also broken
Lutris disables logs by default, but you can enable them (at the bottom of the "Runner Options" tab IIRC) & then run Lutris via the terminal to get them
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
hmmm
so I made a new prefix
for these games and it goes back to pre-EOS change
but still
same issues persist
and I am more worried
about steam deck´s 40hz lock not working
I knew that heroic´s launcher would disable that option when playing the game
but I didn´t know it would persist forever

Unlock the display panel to use upto 70Hz refresh rate! - GitHub - ryanrudolfoba/SteamDeck-RefreshRateUnlocker: Unlock the display panel to use upto 70Hz refresh rate!

what do you mean with this? I'm not aware of heroic disabling that
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
I had heard that that was an issue
that even while having 40 fps locked on the steam deck
heroic would ignore it
lemme see the link
manual-pink•2y ago
I mean, heroic is installed as a flatpak, I don't think it has enough permissions to change a system-wide setting
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
Yeah I would think as much
but it all went down after that
idk
weird
and the link is just for 70hz refresh rate
my problem is that 40 hz has stopped working
anyways thanks for you help either way
I sent a support request to valve anyways
I forgot to ask this, but is there then any way to get heroic games to respect the steam deck’s 40 hz lock?
It should do that already? At least it's working fine for me

enable vsync in-game
extended-salmonOP•2y ago
I shall try that
it didn´t work lol
