Hi all, I’ve been thinking about setting things up so I can play Steam games on my TV but I’m a little confused on the setup. So here’s what I was planning:
- main laptop in office will stream the game
- TV in living room connected to Nvida shield
- Nvidia shield runs Steam Link to connect to laptop
- Controllers connect to Nvidia shield??
I think the main thing that confuses me is if I can connect my controllers to the Nvidia shield or do they need to connect to the laptop?
Anyone have a similar setup that works?
I would recommend using moonlight and sunshine. The steam streaming is pretty good but moonlight is better
The controllers connect to the Shield. You can also connect keyboard and mouse to it.
I find Steam Link to be slow and low framerate though. Sunshine running on the PC and Moonlight running on the Shield seen to do the trick. I also disabled the image sharpening on the Shield because it looks really odd.
Nvidia GameStream being disabled now is a really fucking shitty thing for them to do. Sunshine lacks the ability to change the PC resolution to match the streaming resolution.
