    Because there is no way to install Decky from the game view/mode itself.

    This is not what I was referring to. None of the guides actually go through the DeckLoader install process, they generally just link back to a previous guide on how to do that.

    And more specifically, with this update to Decky Frame Gen… install is manual because this is experimental.

    It’s not manual though. If you already have DeckyLoader installed, you can just install DeckyFrameGen from within the DeckyLoader menu in game mode. I’m pointing out that it’s silly to go into desktop mode to do a manual install when it’s literally just 2 clicks inside DeckyLoader

      Ok, I misunderstood.

      So, yes, if you already have Decky installed, then yes, you can install the plugin via its GUI.

      But I am pretty sure you cannot install Decky, DeckyLoader… from game mode.

      Thats what I was trying to say.

      Also… if you are installing a plugin from a file, into Decky… you would have had to already download that file… and I am pretty sure, you’d have to that in desktop mode.

      Anyway… yeah Decky isn’t included in a … holistic instruction set… probably because its generally assumed that if you’ve had a Deck for a while, you’ve already Decky installed for a while.

      And because you…can… just link to the other instructions for Decky Loader itself.

      Maybe they could change with an update? And then your holistic instructions would also need to be updated.

      Also the install process for Decky can be different depending on what OS your Deck is running.

      SteamOS? Bazzite? Nobara’s Deck edition?

      I’m sure there are more than that.

      … Are you really just annoyed that there is not one single, total set of instructions for you to follow?

        DeckyLoader has a list of repo’s you can download from within game mod. DeckyFrameGen has been in there all day.

        No, I’m annoyed that the “guides” are telling people to go through a pointlessly overcomplicated process to install the plugin

          When I went to install this latest version of DeckyFrameGen, it only went up to 11, in DeckyLoader.

          The version that has the experimental FSR4 stuff is v11.5, could only be installed manually, via first downloading the zip from DeckyFrameGen’s github.

          … Maybe this has changed in the last 12 ish hours?
