So I got a flash drive to install Windows and (attempt) to install COD, but I have a Mac computer. To move anything to the flash drive, I had to format for MacOS, but to move anything to the deck I had to format for Linux. Am I misunderstanding something?
But so many people have decks now, it would make sense to market a dedicated controller for docked mode. At least that’s what I’m desperately hoping for.
Slay the Spire is really nice for limited mobility. Turn based, point and click based. I like to play with one hand while I’m eating with the other.
This is good to look into. I’ve tried remote streaming on several different devices. Before I bought the NAS I was sure it could handle a few streams, but maybe I was wrong.
Thanks for the tip. My ISP only offers static IPs for the business tier, but I’ll ask about ipv4.
I’m sorry, I’m not knowledgeable enough to answer this. Should my router be bound to a certain IP? I believe it has an assigned local IP, but does it also have a public one?
Ah, okay. Thanks for the clarification.
Thanks for the concise reply!
-Streaming quality is set to original on every device I use to access Plex.
-I still get confused about open ports, but I’ll check again and make sure it’s not running through relay.
-I believe the hardware should be fast enough to transcode at least a couple streams, but I’ll check again.
Remote access is enabled but whether I’m actually able to access the server or library remotely is intermittent. Plex says I may be double-natted but I was pretty sure I’m not. I’ll have to investigate again.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I pay for a static IP through my VPN provider, and I’ve wondered if there would be a benefit to running my server through the static IP, then using the same IP to access the server remotely. (Not sure if I’m describing that correctly.)
Unfortunately I’m using Nest WiFi and it doesn’t have QoS settings. You’re making me consider buying a new mesh router system because Nest also doesn’t have manual band selection, which I need for some IoT devices.
These are excellent ideas to test where the bottleneck is. Thank you very much.
Thank you for this. I’ll check my port forwarding on my router (Google Nest WiFi).
Ah, Plex suggested I might be double-natted. Since fiber doesn’t need a modem (from my understanding) I have: fiber cable to box, box Ethernet to router, router ethernet to NAS. Maybe it would be better if I did box directly to NAS? Or would that put it on a separate network? I’ll look into your double-nat solution. Thank you.
I tested between 800-900Mbps UP, closer to a full gig down.
My partner regularly asks when they’ll add a “girlfriend mode” for this reason. She likes having me in bed next to her, but doesn’t love the clicks.
Definitely reduces performance, but there are some AAA games I can play at 1080/60fps with no issues.
Sorry, I meant the gyro doesn’t work with the steam deck.
I don’t know much about this stuff, but I use a DualSense and I like it. It’s comfortable and the joysticks have a nice resistance to them. I can map the controls to match the deck controls. You can’t use some of the cool DualSense features like adaptive triggers, and there’s no gyro or rumble, but I realized the other day that there’s a trackpad! It’s pretty jerky but maybe that can be fixed with settings.
Previously I used a switch pro controller and it felt a little cheap. Obviously until Valve releases another controller, nothing is going to match the capabilities of the deck controls.
Oh this is so helpful. Thank you.
