Steam Link Hack 1.3.6 + Redeem Codes

When it does work. It keeps defaulting to a drag and click method, which isn’t terrible, but also isn’t really that intuitive with a touch interface. You can change this in the settings (the icon with the touchpad/mouse buttons; there’s a couple different options in there)
The real problems come when you try to play games with this. I’ve run into WAY to many where their virtual controller has the wrong key mapping for the game, yet there’s no options in their settings (and none for the game being played) to change it to the correct setup. Now, the controls CAN be moved around the screen, which helps slightly, but doesn’t change the fact that the key mapping is messed up.
Your internet pretty much has to be really great for it to work (or you have to be like me and play pretty much only JRPGs or vns) because it lags CONSTANTLY. I have pretty decent internet and it still hits lag spots every time, even when I’m only doing basic stuff (not even playing video games, either. Just sitting on my computer’s desktop can cause lag somehow when there’s nothing else open or going on)

So in the last year I have found myself hopelessly addicted to a little pc game called Kenshi, it quickly surpassed all other titles in total play hours. I came across the steam link app and thought “why not let this game run my life completely, even when I can’t be around my laptop? I surely have nothing better to do.” So I set out to get this working. For those who don’t know Kenshi is a game you can essentially play on pause so perfectly suited to this very high latency format. It was about two days of being impressed by how nicely their editor lets you set up a control scheme, triple checking that I had saved it in every way I could think, and finding my setup gone on returning to the app before… Some glorious serendipity of overlapping bugs allowed me to recall my settings! I was off! Also thrilled to find that it is workable even streaming across town over cell. In fact performance seems inconsistent no mater what network setup I've tried, even with a cable in the computer sitting next to the router. However, it has always worked well enough to get my fix in various levels of blurriness. Unfortunately the app also crashes when taken out of focus and sometimes randomly. But still, pretty wild the ways we can waste our time these days, this must be meta. .? Keep trying valve, you are somewhat appreciated. Ken heads check my layout, I think it’s the only one

This has come a long way from what it was but for all intents and purposes its still a broken mess. Ive redownloaded this multiple times over the course of Valves devolopment becasue im a sucker for having things just be native (not having to use Parsec/moonlight and just stream games with one single app)...and I was excited to see how this performed with my new Steam Deck....and although it has made some improvements, this app is still basically unfinished. My host machine is a dedicated game streaming server with literally zero other processes running other than whats needed to run games. Connected to a gigabite wired network and streaming via wifi (less than 5 yards away from my router) to an M1 Macbook Pro. Even with resolution scaled way back (720p)games constantly drop frames, stutter lag and audio poping is horrible. Controller support (Xbox one series controller) will just stop working all together and will constantly hit me with "slow network speeds" despite its own network tool recommending 100mbs network speed. I suppose its worth mentioning that I tend to stream higher end "AAA" games and not indie games or smaller/lighter weight games, so maybe it will work better for that...
Parsec and Moonlight both run flawlessly...save yourself some time and just use either one of those.

For me the only controllers I own are some Xbox controllers. The problem is the lack of support for touch screen. I used to play a lot of touch screen games when I was younger. Now that I’m older; I’m fine playing them casually in another room. However, when trying to play games I found myself having no easy native controls. With me having to mingle with each game. This app works perfectly. If you have good internet and a good computer. The result is very visually appeasing with close to no lag. To me steam should have built some more features. Like remote using of the PC. Like being able to use mouse and keyboard mode on the computer with steam minimized. You are able to do this as I clicked out of the game and had remote access of the PC. Additionally PC remote controls like turn on from sleep or turn off. I’m aware that other programs have these capabilities; Integration of these services with steam link would be a very impressive way to get people using the app. Overall very satisfied. Would recommend to a friend.

Steam link is just absolutely great and i love it so much!! im able to play The Forest and Friday The 13th and its just so amazing but theres just one problem. i am unable to shift/Run when i play with my buttons on screen so it would be great if there was a button or maybe having to double tap and hold the joystick and is it possible for us to be able to play with our laptop offline and maybe being really really really far apart from our laptop because something like that would be really helpful when trying to play from another location on your phone instead of having to play while your at home 🏡 and okay now this will be the last thing i promise haha but um is there any possible way that the buttons on the controller can be customized in their size because if i have a small phone i wanna make sure i can see a lot of the screen and sometimes some buttons just cover most of the screen so if you guys could cover these things it would be amazing. Thank you so much for your time and you guys are doing amazing so keep at it

The majority of the negative reviews are from people who expected the app to do something it wasn't meant to. This app is for when you have a gaming PC at home, on the same network as your Mac, and you want to stream Steam games from the gaming PC to the Mac. It does a great job of this. I've been (re)playing Skyrim on my Mac from the convenience of my bed, with the Mac keyboard and a wired mouse. There's a very slight lag, but it isn't noticeable when using the mouse to aim and look around... it's only noticeable when using the mouse as a cursor, e.g., when navigating menus. There is also the occasional stutter, but it's not annoying. Overall it's not an absolutely perfect experience, but it's better than being tethered to my gaming PC. When you stop and think about how crazy it is that you're streaming a whole game from one computer to another with very low latency, this is a solid 5-star app.

I used to use this all the time as a way to check on the progress of some of my games, not to play them outright because I don’t have a good iOS controller. What I really used this for was Bluestacks. I had macros for some of my favorite mobile games. And it was also nice that locking my phone wouldn’t quit the games I was playing.

Since the big picture mode changed to look like the steam deck, all the resolutions are wrong. It will show that I’m clicking on one thing but the mouse is in a totally different position. Also it seems like steam link stops other applications from opening. I try to open Bluestacks and it closes or stays on a black screen (if I open it while at/through my computer this doesn’t happen). Lastly this new update also doesn’t like it when I try to close big picture mode because it will sometimes freeze everything or exit and then immediately go back in on its own.

Anyway, it doesn’t work anymore for me but if it will work for the game you like it’s good. That’s pretty much my review.

Steam Link would be great if valve actually put more work into polishing it.

Upon connecting to your computer, they put steam into big picture mode on shows you your game library, which is done pretty well.

However, it’s not always reliable if say, you have a game already open and you want to connect to your computer and keep playing remotely from your phone. At times it’ll just show you an infinite loading screen and when you can get the game on the screen, the controls will be unresponsive. When they work, Controls can be mediocre but at least you can fully customize them, although I think I have ran into issues with the control layout saving. However, if you have any type of wireless controller, you can connect it to your computer and just use the phone as a screen and audio.

Speaking of audio sometimes, The sound doesn’t always switch the app, and stop on the computer Speakers which can be mildly annoying.

Another thing that is mildly annoying is the STUPID “bootink!” Or “poo tink !” boop Sound effect for EVERY TIME hit a button in options menus. I mean seriously why do I need a sound? I already know what I’m pressing. Please give an option to MUTE this sound effect because I HATE annoying UI sound effects.

If these kinks can be ironed out, this app would be pretty much PERFECT.

Wishing the best. Cheers

so i had never used this app before but have had steam for a few months, installed it and set it up to work on my network, no issues, but didnt feel like playing at the time. a week or so later, i open it on my break at work (i work and live on the same street, but theyre not on the same network or even close enough to connect to either at the same time) and it just worked. rather flawlessly too. i was able to pull up 3DMark and did a benchmark on my system from my iphone while i was at work. interested to see the hit it was taking while streaming to a different location, and believe it or not my timespy score was higher than my last benchmark. we live in a strange world. steam link doesnt care. it just works, and if it doesnt work for you while youre two rooms away, then youre doing something wrong

Now a lack of good touch controls makes enough sense but if I can’t use my controller then this app is kinda pointless.. My controller doesn’t work on this I’m using a PS5 controller and was able to use it on other apps to test it but for some reason it doesn’t work in this app despite it saying it’s connected. It won’t do anything during that start up screen for the app where it says controller settings then test controller. Even after my phone connects to the computer and is loading up steam or a game directly it won’t do nothing despite the fact I have the touch controls off. I can even test the controller by turning on and using the touch controls to go to steams controller setting press identify and the haptics confirm it’s connected. Is there a reason for this a way I’m supposed to connect outside of Bluetooth ?? So from my experience it’s great if you can use the touch controls but my controller ain’t connecting so no SpiderMan Miles Morales mobile for me….
