Discussion: Steam crashes with Decky #166
-
|
Recently I noticed a lot of UI crashes combined with delayed OnscreenKeyboard (2-3 Sec delay). For now I am not sure if this is the fault of decky or CEF-Remotedebugging. Is anybody experiencing something similiar? Steamdeck on Stable |

Could you please include logs by using Also just in case, can you disable/uninstall decky and try to replicate the issues you've been encountering? |

To specify it a little bit .. the "crash" can be provoked if you are ingame and press steam-button + x until the ui becomes more and more unresponsive followed by a steam-ui crash or hard steamdeck reboot. I will now try to uninstall decky and leave debug/dev-mode enabled. Testcase 1: Devmode + CEF-Debugging enabled without decky = Keyboard Popup responsive |

I also experienced this issue while opening the OSK while in a game, which led me to here. I'll try to get a log capture. |

Been experiencing the same issue for weeks, logs have driven me crazy. Sadly though, I've still encountered the same issues whilst having Decky uninstalled. I imagine gamescope must be currently broken, bringing the whole system down. Anyone with this issue who seems to also crash if you have the performance overlay on and just play whatever app/game without even opening the menus? (though that seems to force a crash too sometimes) |

This increasingly seems like an issue with no connection to decky-loader. Moving this to a proper discussion. |

@TrainDoctor This increasingly seems to be a real issue. It's there still nothing we can provide for further analysis? |

This is not a decky loader issue. It's due to a few issues with gamescope, the Wayland compositor valve uses. |

I started observing the problems after installing the latest decky prerelease, and the issue went away after disabling CEF debugging. |

If you disable CEF you disable decky dont you? |

Yea, I am disabling Decky by disabling CEF debugging. I'm playing RuneScape via RuneLite and I want to stop the crashes with the OSK for now 😅 |

@TrainDoctor Can you confirm that with CEF+Decky enabled the OSK is responsive (Steam+X) within different situations? |

One thing to add maybe .. I experience my problems while playing GW2. Today I enabled Deckly after some days without it and .. guess it .. 3rd keyboard open = steam crash |

I also get crashes in a variety of games and emulators when Decky is enabled. Happens in portal, dolphin, yuzu, etc. I click the Steam button, or the … button, and the screen goes black and my Steam Deck reboots. |

Update: I’ll get crashes just navigating around the OS. using Main OS, Steam Beta. This makes decky unusable, which is a major shame given that I need it for proper emulation performance. |
