So I’ve tried it and it works but it’s extremely annoying to use to the point that I find it pointless unless there is a fix…
Some games launch unfocused so I will only see Steam loading icon on my Steam Deck and I have to go to my PC and with mouse click on the game in the tray to put it into focus to play it. For example Dragon Quest XI, any way to fix that?
Yeah, I’m gonna stop enjoying fun books or movies because somebody else is upset about the author…
lol
I went to set it up and I give up, I dont have time for that. Seems complicated Maybe later. I’ll stick with desktop mode remote play for now.
So after trying I can say that Steam Link is literally the same as a Remote Play, it even has the same settings and everything… But on Desktop mode the Remote Play works so much better for whatever reason. Both HEVC and HW-decoding also work.
However when HW-decoding is enabled all the colors are washed out and blacks are just medium grays (more white-ish than black) for example so all of the main OLED advantages are lost. Same happens if I enable HW encoding on my PC side, in which case I have the same issue with HW decoding enabled/disabled on Steam Deck side.
Now that may be because of RDNA2 encoder but since this happens also when just decoding when the source is CPU encoded, idk for sure.
Now the issue is that in desktop mode I’m locked to 90Hz so I’m forced to stream 90FPS otherwise the gameplay is not smooth as it would be at 60Hz so I lose some visual advantage from HEVC in trade for smoothness… Guess I can’t have it all unless there is some way to force 60Hz on desktop?
I will try byt isn’t Steam Remote play literally just Steam link though?
Amid Evil is a good Heretic-like game. Also they’ve done Dusk which is also excellent

I probably can’t decide on a single one but if I had to list:
And I’m gonna stop myself here because there’s way more which just complicates choice
I love how the RT makes the foliage pop out
I think Valve knows better than to make an exclusive. Now will they optimise it for SD? I don’t think there’s any doubt about that.
The game and optimisation are in two different universes.
Whether it’s 50% or 200% it’s pointless if the avg FPS can’t even reach the bare minimum of 30.
In my experience it’s both cheap shitty headset and expensive shitty headset. The arguments is always wireless + mic so people go and spend ridiculous money on something that can be done better with a cheap good headphones like the Koss + dedicated mic that may not be as convenient to use but will sound much better.
Still, good sound design may be enjoyed on a shitty headset, it’s just that good audio can add more to gameplay than just graphics. Like for example walking in the main HUB area in Starfield is like soul numbingly hilarious… it does not feel alive at all even when you see NPCs walking around all the time.
Sound design > Graphics

Have you tried increasing FOV?
If they don’t want me to buy them then why should I buy them now instead of borrowing them for free for unspecified amount of time from the Internet?

You’ll get it once when you access Non-Steam library for thw first time. If you refuse it you’ll never see it again
