I recently got the Deck and installed everything, it went great. However, I apparently made the mistake of updating SteamOS before Decky got an update.
Now I can’t access certain settings and it will give me some error and have to restart.
Do I just have to wait until Decky gets an update or… having to reinstall?
If you’re on steamOS beta/steam client beta, you have to also be on the pre release version of decky (you can select this when running the decky installer).
Even then, new updates to the deck/client can break decky and extensions. Decky will usually be updated to fix any broken updates within a day or so, but plugins can be broken much longer before they get an update. You’ll often find that you have to uninstall a specific plugin for a couple weeks.
Anyways if you want decky to work pretty smoothly, I’d suggest sticking to stable. If you don’t mind some troubleshooting and brief down periods, you can make it work on beta. I’d recommend getting on the Steam Deck Homebrew discord server so that whenever something breaks you can easily find out why and what you need to do about it.
I’m on stable version of SteamOS and I assume stable version of Decky. It happened after updating SteamOS. Reading here and there, I’ll just need to wait this out.
Thank you for the discord server but I’m a bit bummed out that they force verification by phone number. I’m very cautious and suspicious about that kind of stuff. I joined it but won’t be chatting, I suppose.
