I switched to using Moonlight to stream rather than Steam's built-in RemotelyPlay months ago. It was just absolutely unusable; not a bandwidth issue, had that in spades. The problem was that it would either not connect, connect to a blank/green screen or the audio/video would randomly cut out. It would work maybe a fifth of the time, and if I had to reconnect for whatever reason, it would absolutely always fail.

Moonlight? It worked out of the gate, and has never failed despite running on some beefy encoding settings since I have very good WiFi with next to no interference from neighbors.

I desperately want Steam's own offering to be better though. Not having to install a second tool, and to just connect from Steam directly would be a much more polished experience.

I'm waiting patiently for one of these articles to pop up saying they are making multi-monitor gaming easier.

Edit: Fuck it. Imma e-mail Gaben.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


A fresh Desktop Steam Client Beta has been released, and it sounds like a useful one for those of you who do Remote Play.

It's always nice to see more Remote Play fixes, because it often ends up as the least stable feature on Steam, especially on Linux.

Fixed the streaming button staying stuck on "Stop" when the streaming client exits quickly.

Fixed framerate drop when capturing over 120 FPS.

Fixed slow startup on busy systems.

Extra points for a properly filed bug report.

Will this help docked mode on my 4k tv on my deck?
