if you are confused about the image i was trying to stream a game from steam to the steamdeck,the frame is 1280x800 because … steam. plus another instance of the game was started even if i clicked resume.
great job valve! i have many other mildlyinfuriating about this device
Quick fix attempt : from game mode, before starting the game, go to the game launch options, there’s one option to configure launching at various resolutions. Try to tell it to override with a specific one or even the “native” one, and it should fix things.
I had an issue similar when hooking my deck up to my 4K tv and playing Castle Crashers with family. It was only going up to 1280x800 until I made that change. Then it supported resolution up to 4K without issue.
im already moving toward Sunshine instead, this steam software is really a mess…

Did you try doing it while in desktop mode? Game mode defaults to the steam deck native resolution but that can be overriden with launch setting changes. Desktop mode will output to the display of the external monitor.

Well, it’s interesting. I’d try streaming to the steam deck while it’s in desktop mode and see if that fixes the display issue. Kinda cool that it holds a 800p resolution but I find it curious that it’s not full screen as opposed to the actual 800p but just in the corner.
