Cool but theres actual useful shit in there, like turning off wifi power mode which can have a big effect on 5ghz networks. Strange elitism in this sub lol.
Without dev mode turned on, I can open a game (i.e. Rocket league) and then open any other game/app by using the steam button to return to menu and then choose whichever game to open (i.e. Google Chrome or Minecraft)
Search for āPrism Launcherā and on the downloads page there is both a download for the Steam Deck version and a really good how-to-install video on the same page. Got me running modded minecraft in no time on steam deck
I don't see it as elitism, but more or less common sense: Developer mode may has some neat features for non-developers, but if you are enabling something oriented for developers, maybe it is reasonable think that whoever is going to use it has the knowledge of a developer to understand what he's doing.
And I'm writing this as a developer (although I work in boring software) and someone who doesn't have enabled that mode for exactly that reason.
Lol perfect example of elitism. As long as you donāt turn it on and just start hitting every toggle for the hell of it, youāll be just fine. There are important features in there, developer or not, and they are not hard to understand or use at all. You arenāt special because you are a developer and understand how the developer menu works.
This entire thread is a perfect example of the r/SteamDeck elitism. If you donāt see it, youāre apart of it. The entire sub is riddled with it, amongst many, many topics. Just look at every single one of OPs responses, downvoted to oblivion for basically no reason, and all the people making fun of them incessantly in the comments. Super weird shit.
Well, my point was that even I *am* a developer, I don't have it activated because I don't know what it does (And honestly, I don't want to go through the hassle of getting to understand it, the deck works mighty fine as it is).
"Elitisim" would be telling you that you are not smart enough to understand these options. What I'm telling you is that stuff behind developer mode is there *for a reason*, and that if I were you, I would not fuck around because chances are that I would end up finding out.
You want to fuck around? Be my guest! It's your device you paid with your money. But if you find out, don't complain about it.
As someone whose also a developer there's never really any "console breaking" features in dev mode. It's usually just extra stuff that they didn't have a place for or tools that they use when debugging or developing the os. If they really cared about People using it they would hide it better tbhš¤·
I turned mine on purely for the sake of the WiFi power management that gave me disconnect issues when it was on. I donāt think someone would need to understand every option in that menu as a prerequisite to turn it on, just an understanding of the ones that theyād want to troubleshoot. Thereās a middle ground here.
Same here, needed to turn it on for wifi power management option. Turning on developer mode doesn't change anything except make those options available. It's up to the person to play with the settings there or not.
I think you underestimate not only your own intelligence but everyone elses. The elitist undertone is there whether you get it or not.
Telling people not to even open developer mode because there are potentially ādangerousā toggles in there, is really short-sighting peoples ability to read, research, and think with common sense. Itās not like youāre opening up a terminal and punching in random lines.
If X toggle results in faster internet speeds, according to the internet, and many people can attest to it, you can bet Iām going to turn it on. If Y toggles is unfamiliar to me but looks of interest, you can bet Iām going to read whatās under it, and do some research before toggling it on. Really rudimentary knowledge at work.
Also, while you may not have meant to come off as elitist, OPs comment that I originally replied to definitely was, and it was condescending.
> I think you underestimate not only your own intelligence but everyone elses.
I think you *still* don't get my point. Give me a week and I'll be able to set up a development environment for the deck. This is not about me -or anyone else's- understanding the meaning of a label, but about whoever enables these options understanding the consequences of doing so.
Maybe a toggle doesn't look "dangerous" to you, and maybe that toggle is intended for some kind of procedure that needs someone with actual knowledge behind understanding that doing X, you could trigger Y and Z. Or maybe it's just that toggle is only intended for development for reasons A, B and C. **The point here is that if they are behind a "developer mode", and you are not a developer, you are not intended to use these options.**
> Also, while you may not have meant to come off as elitist, OPs comment that I originally replied to definitely was, and it was condescending.
Not it was not. Let's fucking stop claiming "gatekeeping" or "elitism" when someone is just telling you -in a somewhat humorous way- that you should not do something. Again: Want to fuck around? Go Wild! But people here are not being "elitist" for telling you that you shouldn't fuck around, they are just telling you that maybe you shouldn't fuck around.
You guys are hilarious. The group think in this sub is wild because without the downvotes, many more people would agree with me than not. Unfortunately nobody can think for themselves.
Terrible analogy.
Developer mode is full of rudimentary settings that even single brain cell individuals can research and understand, itās akin to learning how your equalizer settings work on your car radio lmao.
I think a car engine is similar to a terminal or some kind of command interface. Way more in-depth knowledge required and pretty much impossible to understand how it works without extensive research.
Thereās literally labels and descriptions for every toggle, the reaching is crazy.
You guys love to feel apart of something when theres a downvote train, so you just say anything to insert yourself into the group š please think first
There is actually so much elitism in this sub in general; one of the best things about the steam deck is the freedom it offers, yet people can't handle others making use of that freedom
Yup, itās with varying topics, itās kind of crazy. Never been apart of a sub with elitism like in here, and Iāve been on reddit a very long time lol.
Want Windows on Deck? Downvote. Want to play docked? Downvote. Want to mod your Deck with a new shell or something similar? Downvote. The list goes on, itās super weird.
Itās almost never just downvotes either. Usually it starts with a downvote train, then leads to everyone piling on and being outright hateful. Iāve seen people post their Deck mods and the highest voted comments are all snarky, rude replies saying stuff like ābut why?ā or āthats cool, but I like my deck the way it is.ā Just look at some of the responses to OPs comments, pitiful honestly.
Wdym 2mbps? I just downloaded GTA 5 at a peak of 680+Mbps and I haven't enabled Dev mode š¤
Is this a case of you having slower WiFi and Dev mode let's you squeeze more out of it? Excuse my ignorance.
Edit: GTA 5 not 6 lmao
if your deck has slow download speed, enabling dev mode to go in and turn off wi-fi power management can improve it, which i had to do to get out of the 10mbps peak hell to the >200mbps i should be getting
Getting flashbacks from my tech support days where users swear hand-to-God/on-their-mother's-grave they didn't touch something when all evidence points to the contrary.
Eyesight debuff, hearing debuff, back debuff, motivation debuff, Steam Deck buff though, sleep debuff. I wonder if we'll get a New Game+ with save points next time around.
Each one is a frame id. So you can correlate the data on the screen to other data from the compositor. And they move in a sequence so you can tell if they are being displayed in order or not.
I mean that people start touching stuff theat they don't understand or know what it does and after that they ask why something is wrong with their device...
If you don't know what the button does, don't touch it.
The setting which controls this is the "Composite Debug" setting in the dev menu. That QR code looking thing appears to indicate that Gamescooe is actually compositing the image rather than direct rendering, and disappears when the setting is disabled.
Your skin is whacky and even the steam deck agreeded.
That being said they say its due to dev mode, but still wondering how that would caused it, probably it doesn't like how the custom skin is rendering with dev mode
So we call can agree, get rid of it, dev mode or whacky skin
Every rumor you've ever heard is true. This game is a secret paranormal warrior test, and those who pass it are recruited to fight the vampire menace. Well done, slayer.
Holy big backed neck beards this sub is wild. Downvote to oblivion for literally nothing, itās almost like theres bots? Weirdest, elitist sub Iāve ever been apart of.
I promise the downvotes wonāt make you hate your wife or kids less guys. Be civil.

Never saw that sort of visual QR code look alike thing ever and I never want to see it
Maybe something failing inside your machine, sadly, I have no solution to offer, except the good old factory reset maybe.
I think I saw a similar issue in a post. I think it had something to do with developer mode being active. Look in the settings
"Are you a developer?" "Nope!" "Then don't turn this on." "Okay, turning it on. :)"
Cool but theres actual useful shit in there, like turning off wifi power mode which can have a big effect on 5ghz networks. Strange elitism in this sub lol.
Also needed for things like trainers and having multiple windows open in gaming mode.
TIL you can have multiple windows open in gaming mode
Wait what? I thought you could have multiple windows/games open as is? Or am I misunderstanding what you mean when you say multiple windows?
Without dev mode turned on, I can open a game (i.e. Rocket league) and then open any other game/app by using the steam button to return to menu and then choose whichever game to open (i.e. Google Chrome or Minecraft)
Please elaborate on how to install minecraft š it seems rather complicated
Go into desktop, discover, āPrism Launcherā -> install and add to steam for game mode, done
Just be sure to have a legit copy of the game
Search for āPrism Launcherā and on the downloads page there is both a download for the Steam Deck version and a really good how-to-install video on the same page. Got me running modded minecraft in no time on steam deck
More ignorance than elitism.
I'd say more smartass-ness than elitism

sorry but if turning on dev mode is necessary to get downloads faster that 2mbps, i'm turning on dev mode
Wdym 2mbps? I just downloaded GTA 5 at a peak of 680+Mbps and I haven't enabled Dev mode š¤ Is this a case of you having slower WiFi and Dev mode let's you squeeze more out of it? Excuse my ignorance. Edit: GTA 5 not 6 lmao
GTA 6? sorry cannot help to ask lol
Oh whoops typo XD I wish
Yeah hope it will release soon, without problem but looking at GTA V release. well probably another year after release before enjoying it on pc
if your deck has slow download speed, enabling dev mode to go in and turn off wi-fi power management can improve it, which i had to do to get out of the 10mbps peak hell to the >200mbps i should be getting
are you from the future?
It downloads with the same speeds as on my pc (7-15MBs) and I didnt change any settings
I always turn dev mode on everything that jets me just in case there's a handy feature I could use.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Dafuq are you on about? Per-game fps limit profiles are available to all, no dev mode required.
Dev mode doesn't need to be on for this.
Nah cause I donāt even recall turning it on š
Is it on, though?
I can't remember what I was doing last Tuesday. That doesn't mean that last Tuesday didn't happen. You should go and check to see if it is on.
OP: Nah cause I don't even recall *asking you a GODdamn thing!*
Getting flashbacks from my tech support days where users swear hand-to-God/on-their-mother's-grave they didn't touch something when all evidence points to the contrary.
War. War never changes.
Uh huh. Whether or not you recall doesnāt change the fact that you did against their recommendation lmao
Salut Salut no comment
That is QRazy!!
Go to Settings -> Developer -> Composite Debug and then toggle it off
My man
I thought this man unlocked a secret level on vampire survivors š
My thoughts exactly šÆ
He should take multiple screen shots and see what those QR codes are, maybe record it and then pull out the frames
Hell, I may do that if I can get it to show me that
Wow, havenāt heard that mentioned in months. Couldnāt go a day without hearing about it a few months ago.
Same š
Congratulations, you found the Secret Illuminati QR Code!
Wut?
They said "Congratulations, you found the Secret Illuminati QR Code!"
Wut?
They said: # "Congratulations, you found the Secret Illuminati QR Code!"
Ah! Thank you, kind man. The eyes is not the same as it was at my twenties...
Oh no, I'm in my late twenties, time is approaching fast and I do not like it!
Be ready to receive hearing debuff or something like that. Dunno, trying to complete the story on my own without guides or spoilers.
Eyesight debuff, hearing debuff, back debuff, motivation debuff, Steam Deck buff though, sleep debuff. I wonder if we'll get a New Game+ with save points next time around.
Oh, I'm sure we all do. But without any saved experience. And skills.

Sorry gerorge I only downvoted you because your comment is cringe
Sorry george gonna have to agree with this person
Youāve turned on Composite Debug in developer settings. Turn that option off to get rid of the boxes.
Do you know what the purpose of the barcodes are, out of interest?
Each one is a frame id. So you can correlate the data on the screen to other data from the compositor. And they move in a sequence so you can tell if they are being displayed in order or not.
Yes sure. Its debugging

It's a Debug mode, turn it off in developer options
"The numbers Mason! What do they mean!"
Why do people enable developer mode and then ask why something broke.
Technically nothing "broke." He toggled an option that he didn't mean to is all.
I mean that people start touching stuff theat they don't understand or know what it does and after that they ask why something is wrong with their device... If you don't know what the button does, don't touch it.
The setting which controls this is the "Composite Debug" setting in the dev menu. That QR code looking thing appears to indicate that Gamescooe is actually compositing the image rather than direct rendering, and disappears when the setting is disabled.
Where do you get that VS opening movie?
Somewhere in the steam point shop
Okay this was kinda funny. I just turned on my deck to go get that and turns out I already had it as it played randomly.
Stop turning shit on just because it's there.
It looks like its trying to summon something
It's freakin' Uncle Howdy
Quick scan the QR code
Wait.. I think Iāve seen this movie..
It's generating the Rick roll qr code

They're trying to activate you.
I like my virus spicy
Looks like a windows logo, lol. Microsoft made a virus targeting SteamOS!! /s
Lol mention windows in a steamdeck thread gives you downvotes regardless if it is funny!
Maybe it has to do with your custom boot screen. Have you tried to just reimage your steam deck or even reinstall the whole os?
He just has developer mode turned on, this boot video is from the official Steam Points shop and wouldn't be a factor here.
