BPM = big picture mode (gamescope can be nested individually for games)
gamemode/gamescope-session = BPM inside gamescope

when i say BPM im talking about desktop BPM

That happens when you're running under gamescope steam can smell that I think

HikariKnight

H

HikariKnightOP•1/17/24, 11:53 AM

they must have manually added the

-steamdeck

-steamdeck

arg or it got applied somehow by bazzite-deck
that disables it

antheas

A

antheas•1/17/24, 11:53 AM

I don't think steam deck does that

antheas

A

antheas•1/17/24, 11:53 AM

I tested the flag on off

antheas

A

antheas•1/17/24, 11:53 AM

The overlay still worked I think

HikariKnight

HikariKnightOP•1/17/24, 11:57 AM

yeah and @DarkSkill has an nvidia card, so gamescope session will not work, not sure if they added the

-steamdeck

-steamdeck

arg themselves or not, but since they are on the desktop image i am leaning towards they added it themselves?

antheas•1/17/24, 11:58 AM

Steam deck flag adds the advanced settings stuff in that panel. Hardware too

HikariKnight

HikariKnightOP•1/17/24, 11:58 AM

in most cases it works to just add

SteamDeck=1 %command%

SteamDeck=1 %command%

as a launch argument to the game

antheas
