Notes

Auto-Connect has never worked since SteamOS's launch, specifically in Game Mode.

This is fine largely, and this happens on all Steam Decks, all versions of SteamOS, so it should be easy to reproduce regardless of device.

I'm posting this here to bring awareness, because I don't think anyone has noticed this toggle has never worked since or atleast have never made a formal issue on the matter.

So hopefully this gets the ball rolling, thanks for the read & I hope this is useful information to help us come to a solution.

EDIT:

i added the video, in case there was any confusion.

Hello, the issue you are experiencing is not the same as this thread.

I am the only person to notice this bug in all of Valve's Github experience.

Please only reply here if you are a developer or willing to reproduce the issue here so there can be more data on this matter for the developers to work with.

Yup, happens to me too. I can disable autoconnect through desktop, but once you manually connect, the auto toggle is toggled back to autoconnect
