I enjoy streaming my games from my gaming rig to my Steam Deck. I prefer this method because not only does it improve the game’s performance, loading, and visuals, but it also provides around 4 hours of playtime.
However, since updating to version 3.5.5 and attempting to stream, my games appear excessively dark to the point of unplayability. I tried searching in the settings to brighten the image, but nothing helped.
The game runs fine when launched natively on the Steam Deck. However, based on my current findings, this seems to be an issue that will need to be addressed in a patch. Feel free to share any workarounds you may have."
I was able to verify the issue you have. Turns out if you’re doing performance overlay level, it’ll make UI disappear with disabled hardware decoding. This is really major bug it seems. Turn off performance overlay then you will have workable steam deck ui
