Hey there, my Steam Deck just arrived (after ordering on Friday morning!) and I’ve been messing around with it but running into some issues and wondering if anyone else has:

  1. I got Decky Loader installed, but when I tell it to install plugins it doesn’t seem to do anything.

  2. I tried using Non Steam Launchers to install EA & Amazon games, and it seems to work (it gives me the success message) but then there is nothing in Steam. I even tried installing the EA App separately using guides online and I even got it installed but then when I try to run the launcher it just says the services were disconnected and refused to do anything. Super frustrating, especially since I just want to play Fallen Order which I only have through my EA account.

  3. And finally, has anyone had any success getting their PC Xbox library on the Steam Deck? I got the ‘cloud gaming’ thing working only to find out that’s not what I want to play a game in my library.

On the other hand, Heroic Launcher worked great for getting my GOG and Epic games on there! Having a blast with it already. Thanks in advance!

    If you haven’t, make sure all the steam OS updated are installed. Things were buggy for me until I got all the updates installed. Hopefully that will fix your decky loader issue, if not you may want to try reinstalling and rebooting.

    With things like the non-steam installer, you usually need to make sure steam is closed in the background for it to add stuff to steam. Make sure you’ve closed steam fully (not showing up in the system tray) before running the program.
