Bug Report Description

Power on the Steam Deck from a full shutdown, making sure there is no WiFi that the Deck could connect to.

Wait for the Deck to boot in offline mode.

Observe the lack of the Decky Loader icon in the quick settings menu.

This seems to be caused by the Steam Deck offline mode itself, rather than the lack of internet access, as the icon will appear even if the Deck is connected to a nonfunctional WiFi network.

Expected Behaviour

The Decky Loader icon should appear in the quick settings menu.

SteamOS version

SteamOS 3.5.17 Stable

Selected Update Channel

Stable

Have you modified the read-only filesystem at any point?

the same exact thing has been happening to me every time I'm offline on a flight to work 😞, i hope theres an easy fix.

Exact same issue here. Restarting the steamdeck with wifi turned off removes the decky quick setting. Plugins still seem to run in the background . Turning on wifi and connecting to any wifi network brings back the quick setting after a restart.

Found out the hard way on the plane a few days ago. Tried reinstalling, switching between beta and stable. Still the same.

the bigest issue for me here is I'm actually running bazite os on a lenovo legion go so, without decky the plugins the make controls tdp and fan control work go poof and I'm then screw. seems the trick is to make sure to go into stand by mode always to avoid this from happening on my flights to work.

Ah, you know what I am on Bazzite also - this may be a Bazzite issue ( not sure about OP). I'll go take a look at the Bazzite forums and maybe make a post there. Don't want to bother decky devs if the issue isn't present on vanilla steamdeck.

I've been told its a decky issue that also occurs on steam decks, and i believe the person who raised this is posting this issue for a steam deck. again not really a game breaking issue on steam decks but if your system relies on decky to work properly yikes 😬.
