      Exactly what I was thinking. I’m still running on the fumes of gfe+moonlight while thats still working. Hopefully Steam RP has taken cues from all the recent competition.

      But as with all RP options it’s probably still gonna be a ymmv situation.

      One plus of remote play is that I can set the controller bindings via Steam Input. On moonlight I wasn’t able to do the same since it just seemed to emulate an xbox controller.

    I wish they’d give SteamVR on Linux a long overdue upgrade.

    And by upgrade I mean “Make it look like it’s a project which is even alive”

      It needs the same treatment as Big Picture and now Remote Play have gotten even on Windows, too. It’s clunky and really kinda shit. It still uses the old Big Picture UI as a base. And I don’t mean the one recently upgraded from; I mean the one before that.

    Hopefully this includes bug fixes and more compatibility with linux?

    I’ve been trying and failing to get my Debian host to stream to an Nvidia Shield Pro

      4k streaming. That’s it. The article just copies and pastes around “4k” as much as possible but that’s the only feature.

    I wonder how Valve pulled this off. Iirc, they had to reduce performance for remote play a couple years bag by switching to software acceleration when their license for hardware acceleration couldn’t be renewed

      Yep. Just set it so it launches to desktop instead of BP and you can launch anything from anywhere. There might be some finagling to do with controller input/mapping depending on the game/launcher but it should be fine in most cases.

        Steam Remote Play is basically my Remote Desktop these days. Steam Link Box on the TV or Steam Link App from the phone, and I’m golden. It works surprisingly well with very little latency.

          I’ve never tried to remote play what do you need for it to work

            Steam and an Internet connection. That’s it. If you log in to the same Steam account on your PC and Phone/Steam Link/Steam Deck/etc, Steam will take care of everything and hook you up seamlessly. It’s worth trying out!

      In fact i’d say this is a significant emergent feature that has been overlooked, you can set up a windows box in a dark corner of your house and stream games to your deck/laptop/phone/fridge without worrying about noise or compatibility.

      I feel like valve needs to hire a guy to just sit around the office and occasionally go “hey uh, sounds like we could just polish up this edge case and market it as a rather mind-blowing feature?”
