There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple. (i.redd.it)

I have massively better quality, stability, and latency with the RemotePlay app over the internet from PS5 than I do with Steam in home streaming actually in my house. It's still not good enough for high precision games, but Steam isn't close.

PS4 can't stream for shit because it can't do the encoding.

PC streaming is extremely hit and miss. I ended up with Moonlight/Sunshine for playing from my nVidia Shield and that works a charm. Steam streaming never quite worked right. There's a ton of options, and unless you pick exactly the right ones for your setup, it'll do stupid things.

Interesting. My Steam remote playing from my PC through my house is excellent. I do it to my Steam Link, I used to do it to my phone, and now I also do it to my Steam Deck.

It's the Playstation-made remote play apps that suck on my PC or my phone.

Both my PC and my PS5 are hardwired the same to the router, and both have all the ports forwarded and blah blah.
