Hey all, proud owner of a Steam Deck here wondering if anyone has had a similar problem as I have when attempting to background record.

The issue is: more often than not when I go to clip one of those "unmissable moments" my Steam Deck is meant to record I find I've only the audio part of my recording working correctly, the video part is often just a frozen image of the games recording.

I've poked about and found loads of posts of a similar nature but no concrete "fix".

This could very well be an issue on Valve's behalf (in which I won't hold my breath lol)

Thanks all, glhf!

Same here. It started happening after SteamOS 3.7 update. People say Decky Recorder plugin from Decky Loader works well, but I didn't bother to try myself.

Ah, I see. So the issue is on Valves end? I'll probably give it a few more weeks/a month or two. Hopefully Valve would have addressed this by then. Thanks for your help and time.
