Troubleshooting
PowerTools is totally bug free and this page does not need to exist! /s
If you're trying to figure out what's wrong, the log file /tmp/powertools.log and the config files in ~/.config/powertools might be useful.
Sometimes CPU threads don't restore correctly for unknown reasons. This isn't a bug in PowerTools, so the only way to fix it is to reboot.
PowerTools' configuration files may be corrupt. Try deleting everything in ~/.config/powertools (you'll need root permissions to do this).
Use the latest version of Decky (v2.0 or later). As mentioned in the release notes, PowerTools now uses the new Decky UI which isn't available in older versions.
Friendly reminder: if you don't read the PluginLoader README, you've only got yourself to blame. Put less tactfully: RTFM.
(sliders aren't lined up with a notch, settings can't be changed, or everything is plain text)
The PowerTools files are corrupt or an unsupported version of PluginLoader is being used.
Please re-install the latest release of PowerTools and PluginLoader. Dev or nightly versions (including SteamOS Beta versions) are never guaranteed to work.
Refer to https://github.com/NGnius/PowerTools/wiki/Manual-Installation for manual installation instructions
Please send the log and a detailed description of the issue to NGnius (on Discord or in a GitHub issue).
The log is located at /tmp/powertools.log, but can get deleted when you restart your Deck.
Feel free to poke NGnius on whatever platform, don't be shy -- I can almost guarantee that I'm more awkward than you.
