## Why DeckyVault?

Gaming on the Steam Deck is incredible, but finding reliable, detailed answers about whether a game will run well—or how to optimize it—can be frustrating. Existing resources are often fragmented, outdated, or lack the depth the community needs.

**DeckyVault** aims to solve this by being the definitive, community-first hub for Steam Deck performance data.

## Features

- **Community-First Contributions** — Built by the community, for the community. Anyone can contribute data and improvements.
- **Streamlined Filters & Searching** — Quickly find the games you're looking for with powerful search and filtering.
- **Rich Performance Metrics**
  - Community average FPS (**low**, **avg**, **high**).
  - Extended FPS metrics for technologies like **FSR** and **Frame Generation**.
- **Beautifully Formatted Settings** — No more endless single-column lists. Every game features **sectioned setting tables** that mirror in-game menus.
- **Historical FPS Graphs** — Track performance improvements over time across:
  - Game Versions
  - Proton / Native builds
  - SteamOS Versions
- **Multi-Device Support** — Dedicated metrics and optimized settings for **Steam Deck OLED**, **Steam Deck LCD**, and **Steam Machine**, all on a single page with quick toggles.
- **Comprehensive Compatibility Tracking**
  - Proton vs. Native status
  - Online Play & Anti-Cheat status
  - Straightforward "Playable" tags
- **Loading & Storage Metrics** — Track initial launch times, game load times, world loading, and **SD Card** performance.
- **Community & Steam Integration** — On-site comments plus existing reviews, artwork, and stats pulled directly from Steam.
- **Open Source** — Fully transparent. Help us build the best resource for Deck gamers.
