Parsec and Moonlight both run flawlessly.save yourself some time and just use either one of those.Welcome to r/SteamDeck, the subreddit for Valve's handheld computer. I suppose its worth mentioning that I tend to stream higher end "AAA" games and not indie games or smaller/lighter weight games, so maybe it will work better for that.

Controller support (Xbox one series controller) will just stop working all together and will constantly hit me with "slow network speeds" despite its own network tool recommending 100mbs network speed. Even with resolution scaled way back (720p)games constantly drop frames, stutter lag and audio poping is horrible. Connected to a gigabite wired network and streaming via wifi (less than 5 yards away from my router) to an M1 Macbook Pro. My host machine is a dedicated game streaming server with literally zero other processes running other than whats needed to run games. Ive redownloaded this multiple times over the course of Valves devolopment becasue im a sucker for having things just be native (not having to use Parsec/moonlight and just stream games with one single app).and I was excited to see how this performed with my new Steam Deck.and although it has made some improvements, this app is still basically unfinished.

This has come a long way from what it was but for all intents and purposes its still a broken mess. Ken heads check my layout, I think it’s the only one But still, pretty wild the ways we can waste our time these days, this must be meta.? Keep trying valve, you are somewhat appreciated. Unfortunately the app also crashes when taken out of focus and sometimes randomly. However, it has always worked well enough to get my fix in various levels of blurriness. In fact performance seems inconsistent no mater what network setup I've tried, even with a cable in the computer sitting next to the router. It was about two days of being impressed by how nicely their editor lets you set up a control scheme, triple checking that I had saved it in every way I could think, and finding my setup gone on returning to the app before… Some glorious serendipity of overlapping bugs allowed me to recall my settings! I was off! Also thrilled to find that it is workable even streaming across town over cell. For those who don’t know Kenshi is a game you can essentially play on pause so perfectly suited to this very high latency format. I came across the steam link app and thought “why not let this game run my life completely, even when I can’t be around my laptop? I surely have nothing better to do.” So I set out to get this working.

So in the last year I have found myself hopelessly addicted to a little pc game called Kenshi, it quickly surpassed all other titles in total play hours. Just sitting on my computer’s desktop can cause lag somehow when there’s nothing else open or going on) I have pretty decent internet and it still hits lag spots every time, even when I’m only doing basic stuff (not even playing video games, either. Your internet pretty much has to be really great for it to work (or you have to be like me and play pretty much only JRPGs or vns) because it lags CONSTANTLY. Now, the controls CAN be moved around the screen, which helps slightly, but doesn’t change the fact that the key mapping is messed up. I’ve run into WAY to many where their virtual controller has the wrong key mapping for the game, yet there’s no options in their settings (and none for the game being played) to change it to the correct setup. The real problems come when you try to play games with this. You can change this in the settings (the icon with the touchpad/mouse buttons there’s a couple different options in there) It keeps defaulting to a drag and click method, which isn’t terrible, but also isn’t really that intuitive with a touch interface.
