Hi, it seems the new gaming mode feature is having a bigger than usual % of failure among you guys so we are pulling the feature until we can figure out why   it's not working as intended!


For those of you that have it already enabled and working don't worry, it will continue to work.


If you haven't enabled it and want to test it out, you can manually enable it by navigating to this folder:


To enable it

USERFOLDER/AppData/Roaming/EmuDeck/backend/tools/gamemode/enablegamemode.bat


To disable it:

USERFOLDER/AppData/Roaming/EmuDeck/backend/tools/gamemode/disablegamemode.bat


If you don't get Steam UI when loading and you get a black screen just press

CTRL + ALT + DEL, open Task Manager -> File - Run new task, write explorer and hit enter.


Navigate to USERFOLDER/AppData/Roaming/EmuDeck/backend/tools/gamemode/disablegamemode.bat and you should be back on your Desktop

I've figured out the issue that was preventing at least me from using Gaming Mode on Windows 11, there was some errors being thrown in the reg add commands that set Steam's Big Picture Mode as the windows shell. I am no programming boffin, so I asked GPT-4 for advice and it correctly advised on the fixes needed to the syntax. Here's the scoop https://chat.openai.com/share/34ba5b2a-5fc2-4cfd-b70f-2404fe33d64d I can confirm that these changes allow my Gaming Mode to work, although I'm met with a prompt of "Setting up SteamUI...Value Shell exists, overwrite(Yes/No)?" after entering Y gaming mode fires up :D

Thanks, in some systems the number of " makes the script work, when in others don't. Have to check if is somewhat related to languages? I know windows changes stuff like keyboard shortcuts per language, who knows if it affects this too
