Additional informations

  • Controller Shortcuts - default shortcuts when using Steam Controller.
  • Development - how to compile this project.
  • Risks - this project uses kernel manipulation and might result in unstable system.
  • The latest development version can be found in GitHub Releases.
  • The variant with SteamDeckTools-<version>-debug.zip enables all experimental features enabled, but might be unstable and buggy.

Anti-Cheat and Antivirus software

Since this project uses direct manipulation of kernel memory via inpoutx64.dll it might trigger Antivirus and Anti-Cheat software.

If you use at least version 0.5.x you can disable kernel drivers usage that should avoid trippping Anti-Cheat detection. Set FAN to Default and disable OSD Kernel Drivers. Of course you will miss some metrics due to that.
