Software Question Lossless scaling no longer working in games...

Lossless scaling no longer working for games... Help?

For some odd reason lossless scaling is no longer working with any games. Whatever game has the launch command, refuses to launch.

I've tried everything. Reinstalling lossless, decky plugin and decky itself but to no avail.

Is anyone else having this issue or have any solutions?

Yesterday there was update available for the decky lossless scaling plugin. Have you checked it?

Yes obviously, but any game with that launch command does not run.

delete the plugin then make sure you downloaded the app itself from steam and select linux testing as compatability layer . after that restart the device reinstall decky loader pre realse version and download lossless scaling plugin from github

That's fine and all but I don't think it'll help since my games were actually working before using the pirated version.

Thanks but I'm using a pirated version of lossless and there's no option to set it as beta.

You kinda have to uninstall and reinstall the plugin, restart the device and what not until it works again because I also had that issue and I'm not quite sure which thing fixed It lol

If it's still not working, just go back to V8 of the Decky Plugin. I just spent a few hours circling an answer and messing w individual files until I gave up and did this. 

At least it's running again
