Steam Deck Background recording (hell!)

c/steamdeck · u/radiouser@crazypeople.online · 17 points

Hey all, proud owner of a Steam Deck here wondering if anyone has had a similar problem as I have when attempting to background record.

The issue is: more often than not when I go to clip one of those "unmissable moments" my Steam Deck is meant to record I find I've only the audio part of my recording working correctly, the video part is often just a frozen image of the games recording.

I've poked about and found loads of posts of a similar nature but no concrete "fix".

This could very well be an issue on Valve's behalf (in which I won't hold my breath lol)

Thanks all, glhf!

Ah, I see. So the issue is on Valves end? I'll probably give it a few more weeks/a month or two. Hopefully Valve would have addressed this by then. Thanks for your help and time.

Same here. It started happening after SteamOS 3.7 update. People say Decky Recorder plugin from Decky Loader works well, but I didn't bother to try myself.

Not sure what's with the downvotes, but I've had the same problem for quite a while. Especially after sleep to be precise. It also tends to eat up the battery quite a bit.
