Known Issues

As of 8/12/25

Making an OLED work in the LCD Steam Deck is not the simplest of things so there are currently a couple of minor bugs. These are not hardware issues and the future fixes will be BIOS/software updates, etc.

Wrong color on initializtion

IMPROVED 6/19/25: Happens much less often

This happens about one third of the time the screen initializes. Initialization happens whenever waking up from sleep or transitioning modes, like Game UI to Desktop. This is another small annoyance and it can be corrected by tapping the power button to shut the screen off and tapping it again to turn it back on. It doesn’t require a full shutdown, just a quick sleep to re-init the display. This can also be resolved in a future BIOS patch update to improve the timing.

Brightness Adjustment does not work in Gamescope

8/12/25

Steam Deck is not wired to command brightness over DCS. DeckSight Requires software/gamma brightness on every compositor. Included brightness-wrangler service is specific to X11 (ie SteamOS DESKTOP). Gamescope is it’s own compositor therefore requires either specific support or possibly something like a Decky plugin. Bazzite uses Wayland based Kwin in KDE so it needs it’s own solution.

As of Release version r03, DeckSight is set to full brightness. Use the Decky Loader plugin mentioned in “tips” for dimming controls.
