minus-squareKaldo@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoIs the game also playing duplicated on pc screen like with steam link or is it just a background process?
minus-squarelackthought@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoyes the game does run on the remote desktop pc and essentially streams the video to the steam deck I’ll admit the use cases can be limited, but if you want the ability to offload processing for graphically intense games it works well my desktop is hard-wired into my network so I don’t have any lag when using remote play on my steam deck I’m not sure if both machines were wireless how the performance might be impacted
