Was it always like this ? It might of always been but from testing it seems you cannot stream from your LAN connected Linux PC to another LAN connected Linux PC literally a few meters away without requiring permanent access to the internet (steam needs to be in 'online mode') Im moderately privacy/security conscious, not so much as to not use something like Steam in the first place, but im just not that hyped to require an internet connection just to stream some local games to an old laptop. I know im probably in the minority that actually care, but Local streaming to me means the ability to have local only. Im kind of disappointed with my testing of the recent 'steam-link' (flatpak). Speaking of steam-link app since the two recent articles are so closely related. Not full blown steam, just a client that I can run on a lite-laptop that will stream from my big box.ĭidn't they release a version for armv6/raspian at some stage? Quoting: edenistI really wish valve would release a steam-link program for linux. Nice to see such gradual and continuos improvements to some of the most interesting features of the Steam universe. You can find the setting in the advanced menu. Valve also mentioned in an email that the Steam Link app itself has also recently been upgraded, to allow streaming at 90FPS and 120FPS across all platforms. Valve has already done a quick improvement on that to allow you to make as many invites as you want now for many people to join you, providing the game supports multiple players and your network bandwidth can handle it.
