Working good for me so far it took ages to get it running smoothly but I finally did it. I also set up Tailscale so I can experiment with WiFi streaming because I'm upgrading to a range of 400-600 mbps WiFi speed in 4 days when I'm currently on 150mbps (its serviceable, latency is pretty much infrequent). LAN seems to be pretty fine as it is as well. But I want to get the best experience possible so I don't have to really game directly on my PC again and just game around the house. This also means I can stream emulated games from my PC to my Deck. I don't need them natively to drain the battery life and heat up the Deck and also not run as well as my PC can. Also storage is limited on the Deck so this is perfect. If only the Steam Deck had an OLED screen, it would be pristine.

Had nothing but problems with Sunshine/Moonlight between my PC in the office & steam deck in the living room. Have a direct network connection to both. Of course steam deck dock constantly has to have power unplugged. Also have an HDMI cable run from PC to living room AVR. I'm guessing it's the AVR that's the issue. The sheer amount of nonsense I had to go through to get it to work was maddening and it was through Steam streaming. It absolutely did not want to work in Game mode on Steam deck but the games would show up in desktop mode. Would be willing to pay to a company that could get everything to work one click. This tech has been out forever. Doesn't seem worth it if Nvidia is shit canning the concept out of greed to push people to their paid monthly subscription model. Scumbags. All that being said when I got it streaming to the Steam Deck/Dock while playing at the full 4k resolution of the 77" LG Oled in 7.1 stereo through the Marantz SR8015 Jedi Fallen order looked and sounded amazing. Considering the LG has WebOS, which includes an Nvidia app to stream from video cards they host directly it should be possible to install a streaming app directly onto the TV that's on the same network as your gaming PC. I think there's a ton of cash for the dev who makes this happen.

Sadly this does not work for me the way I wanted it to. I've been using Parsec and it's been going great. I just wanted to test the alternatives (see if quality is better, latency and all that). However my problems with Moonlight+Sunshine are simply that I cannot (from what I can tell) keep my Desktop monitors closed while I'm connected to the PC with my steam deck. That's what I want. I have Wake On Lan, open the PC and connect to start playing, but apparently Moonlight doesn't want to do this while my monitors are closed. Parsec does this wonderfully and automatically sets the resolution for the client (the steam deck 1280x800) just like it would be a monitor with that resolution connected. So do you know of a way for me to run this with my monitors closed and Windows running (and sending me) 1280x800 stream?

I play fallout 76 from my can with my steamdeck moonlight. I set it up to 1280x800 12mb rate for good quality. One question can I play it on the go? Sure I can get it installed locally via steam store but my friends have it on microsoft store so I got it that way. From what I heard steam and microsoft store version are not cross?

Apparently if you are using sunshine you just need enable the UPnP option in the Sunshine Web UI. I’ve not tried it myself, and actually no longer have a windows PC, but let me know if it works! If it doesn’t, it likely means you need to change some network/router settings.

Hi, i've followed your guide and it's amazing! Btw i wanted to ask you if it's possible playing on steam deck while turning the monitor off. If i do this, my steam deck screen turns black, so i have to keep the pc monitor on...is there any possible solution to this?
@steamdeckguy Жыл бұрын
You could try switching your monitor to another unused input (e.g. HDMI 2) rather than turning it off. That way, it’s technically still on so should still allow streaming but display a black screen

You have to remember remote playing your PC to your steam deck in another room uses your internal WiFi - your internet speed is irrelevant. Therefore you’ll want to make sure you have a strong signal, that is not on a busy channel, and ideally at least 5GHz (6 GHz even better). Most of the routers you get free with ISP are rubbish, so you may want to consider investing in a better one. Sometimes mesh networks can cause issues too, so keep that in mind.

i can launch and stream my PC's display to my steamdeck but none of my steamdeck controls work. the newest version of Sunshine doesn't automatically suggest ViGEmBus (as another commenter pointed out), I've tried it with and without ViGEmBus- not controls. I can't even use the trackpad to control my mouse cursor in desktop mode. Seems like this tech is really cool but definitely not ready for prime time.

Is it safe to use sunshine and moonlinght to stream on your cell phone with important and sensible personal information?
@lunawense6288Ай бұрын
Definitely not. Your sensitive data shouldn't be connected to an internet connection at all. Only hardwired Lan would be safe in this case. Having said that, if you don't have classified military documents on your phone, it's really not something to worry about. No data is ever secure the second you have any external connection. But if you're not being targeted by dangerous individuals typical network security is sufficient. In all seriousness though don't store really sensitive stuff like password lists on digital devices and be prepared to have any of your photos leaked. A simple usb c storage device for the sensitive data really goes a long way in protecting your privacy. Even major companies like Sony get hacked but just like being robbed irl it really depends on how much of a target you really are. Tldr: It's not that worrying but always keep truly sensitive data away from internet connected devices.

Hey I noticed on my steamdeck, after finishing a gamepass game, the stream would continue to run (since it's running as a dettached command). I figured setting a "main" command that I could easily close was the option so it would prompt Sunshine to actually exit, but couldn't find one, so I whipped up this bash script: @echo off echo Starting program... timeout /t 10 echo Checking .exe status :loop tasklist | find /i "GAME" && timeout /t 5 /nobreak > nul && goto loop || goto exit :exit exit Save this as a .bat file and use it as the main command. Notice it says "GAME". You have to find the name of the executable using tasklist inside a cmd.exe window and what exactly tells you there, is the name. For example, for Octopath my gamepass executable is Octopath_Traveler-Win64-Shipping.exe, however I get 'Octopath_Traveler-Win64-S' using tasklist, so that's what I used in the script and voilá. This has to be done for each game you add.

Not true. This is the streaming resolution. Setting it higher than 720P is pointless and you’ll likely get stutters. If you have a decent Pc you can set a higher resolution in game to get supersampling, but it won’t be blurry. If it is, then you may want to drop the video bitrate

If you dont set the same resolution on client and server you get stretch and blurry result or black bars. nothing you want.

@@bestonyoutube I have no idea, yet you came here to watch my video? OK… Fact is, If your PC is set to 16:9 ratio (in windows) and you stream at 720p the game wont look blurry on the deck and you won’t get black bars on the side. Of course, if you have a super fast Wi-Fi connection then be my guest - set it to max. The point I’m making is that for most people it will look fine in 720p. Changing resolution in game will improve the visuals without impacting streaming performance. FYI when I did this video, my desktop resolution was set to 1440p, the game to 1080p, and moonlight streaming to 720p - all 16:9 ratios

@@steamdeckguy Sorry you dont know what youre talking about. 720p is 1280x720 the Steam deck has 800p so it needs to be stretched which makes it blurry. maybe check your eyes? 1080p is just a multiplicator of 720p not 800p, same for 1440p, same result even worse because of not multiplcator by 2. you can configure Sunshine, that it executes a batch file which automatically sets the resolution to 1280x800 so it is native resolution and changes it back to for example 1080p when you disconnect, but obviously you knew this right.

If you want full screen 800p then as I said you need to set PC resolution to a 16:10 ratio. Using a batch file is one such method, so you are actually saying the same thing….but being an asshole about it
