This codec uses 5-10 times the amount of bandwidth of other streaming codecs, so you’ll want to have your computers connected directly to your router with at least Gigabit ethernet.
At first I read it as 5-10 times less and I was like “Holy shit.” but then I realised it’s the other way around and was like “Holy shit.”.
It’s interesting to see them optimise for latency though.
Oh that could be nice, I’ve got a solid gigabit connection on LAN but I’m still throttled by my GPU encoding rate, might have to give this a go at some point.
That feels like a great use-case! I don’t have a wired connection so the bandwidth usage makes it a no-go for me probably, but you’ll have to post about your experience when/if you give it a shot!
I have my computer hardwired to 2.5Gb and have wifi 7 so I’ll test this out tonight.
Wish they would have worked on adding capability to stream games on Linux before they implement a codec that 90% of people can’t use.
Streaming on linux seems to work fine tho? I’ve used it quite a bit to stream on deck and sometimes from deck to my pc without issues. Also streaming to a phone seems to work well with the steam link app.
Never had issues with remote play together either (both players on linux)
I guess I meant broadcast? The one that lets a friend watch your game or vice versa
Ah yea I forgot that was a thing. I had no idea that it wasn’t available on linux (can confirm it still isn’t).
