## What is this?

A Decky plugin that streamlines the installation of **lsfg-vk** ([Lossless Scaling Frame Generation Vulkan layer](https://lsfg-vk.dev/)) on Steam Deck, allowing you to use the Lossless Scaling frame generation features on Linux with a controller friendly UI in SteamOS, Bazzite, or any other Linux platform compatible with Decky Loader.

## Installation

1. **Download the plugin** from the [releases tab](https://github.com/xXJSONDeruloXx/decky-lsfg-vk/releases)
   - Download the "decky-lsfg-vk.zip" file to your Steam Deck
2. **Install manually through Decky**:
   - In Game Mode, go to the settings cog in the top right of the Decky Loader tab
   - Enable "Developer Mode"
   - Go to "Developer" tab and select "Install Plugin from Zip"
   - Select the downloaded "decky-lsfg-vk.zip" file

## How to Use

1. **Purchase and install** [Lossless Scaling](https://store.steampowered.com/app/993090/Lossless_Scaling/) from Steam
2. **Open the plugin** from the Decky menu
3. **Click "Install lsfg-vk"** to automatically set up the lsfg-vk vulkan layer
4. **Configure settings** using the plugin's UI - select Default or a running/configured game and adjust the upstream lsfg-vk settings
6. **Launch your game** - frame generation activates when the game's Steam AppID matches an assigned upstream profile

### Core Settings

- **FPS Multiplier**: Choose 2x, 3x, or 4x frame generation
- **Flow Scale**: Adjust motion estimation quality (lower = better performance, higher = better quality)
- **Performance Mode**: Uses a lighter processing model (recommended for most games)
- **FP16 Acceleration**: Use half-precision acceleration when supported
