Hey Steam Deck community. I’m hoping that I can get some help from the community.
-
Is it possible to unlock my Windows PC remotely? I currently run Home Assistant, and have WOL setup so I can easily wake it, but without logging in, I can’t stream to my Steam Deck. Is there any way around that? I am not willing to remove the login password from my PC. This is the main thing I want to solve.
-
Should stream via Steam or is there a better option? Moonlight?
-
When you stop streaming from the deck, what happens to the game on the PC? Does it stop running?
Thanks in advance!
- you could use another rdp client to do so. As I have no idea if steam link etc works for this.
- I use steam stream purley because it is easy to do so and I have had little to no issues using it.
- when you hit exit game on deck etc for me it does close on main PC as well.
Edit: no idea how to format… I tried
I use moonlight occasionally and it will let me login including for the first time when using nvidias drivers for the server if that is what you’re looking for
This seems to work ok. Thanks!
