Hey lovelies 🩷

Just in case this helps any Steam users, we found a solution to the mouse offset issue that occurs where:

  • You're streaming through Steam using Steam Link (app or device) or Remote Play.
  • Your host PC is Windows-based.
  • The application being streamed is running on a monitor with scaling >100%.

This issue can commonly affect users streaming to tablets or Steam Decks :SteamIconLogo:

We've already written about this previously here, here, here, and here, but we wanted to compile the key info in one place to help others. We have also written up a post on the Steam Community forums with all the details here, in the hopes that Steam devs will pick up on this and improve the Steam client for Windows.

Basically, it seems that the issue is caused by the Steam client for Windows being DPI unaware. DPI awareness was introduced in Windows 10 Version 1607 (aka Anniversary Update). You can read the technical details about these below:

The below website was what caused us to realise that Steam is DPI unaware and how to force DPI awareness for Steam and any applications running through it:

In short, you can force the Steam client and any relevant DPI-unaware applications to run as DPI aware by setting the default DPI awareness for a process.

e.g.,:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\steam.exe]
"DpiAwareness"="PerMonitorV2"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\streaming_client.exe]
"DpiAwareness"="PerMonitorV2"

You can do the same for any application you're streaming through Steam: just use the name of the exe.

e.g.,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\rs2client.exe]
"DpiAwareness"="PerMonitorV2"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\RuneScape.exe]
"DpiAwareness"="PerMonitorV2"

Hope this helps some folks 🩷

Bit of a random question, but if anyone knows the answer to this, it'll probably be someone (or some folks) on fedi :FediverseSymbol:

The problem involves using the Steam Link android app to stream a game from a Windows 11 host :SteamIconLogo: :Windows_11_Logo:

The problem is that if the game is loaded on any monitor with scaling >100%, the mouse co-ordinates are offset 🫤

The issue can be worked around by reducing the scaling on any such monitor to 100%, but it's not a viable option for me sadly for accessibility and productivity reasons.

We believe the issue could be resolved if Steam Link were to call the SetThreadDpiAwarenessContext function, which we've reported to Valve, but we're not expecting an acknowledgement or answer any time soon.

Anyone been able to resolve the issue without reducing scaling to 100%?

Pretty sure the issue can also occur with folks playing mouse-requiring games via Remote Play on a Steam Deck on a host with scaling set to >100%.

Made some progress with #Steamlink this morning before work. It "works," but it isn't exactly playable. Even at sub-HD resolutions, the latency makes even playing games like #CitiesSkylines2 a not-fun experience.

I think the next experiment will be with #sunshine and #moonlight, to see if they can offer a better experience.

Well, my "new" home media #server is coming along fairly well.

I installed a pair of #Seagate Exos HDDs in a #ZFS mirror for mass storage, and created several shares for media, personal files, and #Proxmox images. It's nice to finally have a proper #NAS in the #homelab, plus #Jellyfin is working pretty well!

The next hurdle will be getting #Steamlink to work so I can stream my #steam library to my laptop and #Steamdeck.

Screen recording stressed the hardware a bit, so it is a bit chunky, but if I'm not recording, it works perfectly. All set in 30 minutes during lunch time :)

Mini-PC HW specs:
Celeron Dual Core N3060 1.6GHz
2GB 1600MHz DDR3L RAM
32GB eMMC

So hey this is a wild shot, but the fedi is full of people who are even weirder and nerdier than me, so...

Has anybody ever tried hacking a #joycon grip into a cable connector, wiimote+nunchuck style? I'm sure it can be done, but I don't have the #diy expertise to work it out :\

I really want to play my Steam games on the telly, but the #SteamLink app can't handle split L+R joycons the way that Steam itself can, and my sad old RSI arms can't handle non-split controllers :(

Boosts appreciated!

Does anyone on Fedi need a #SteamLink?
I'd send it from Germany or you can pick it up in #Tübingen

Alguien por aquí usa #steam link en móvil?
Es que lo he probado por primera vez, pero me gustaría saber si hay alguna forma de que se pueda interactuar con un juego sin que la pantalla emule el ratón

It's the end of an era here.

A long time ago, I bought a #SteamLink because I had grand plans to stream games from my gaming PC upstairs to the TV downstairs and because I believe in what #Valve is doing. I even bought a second #SteamController for this purpose.

I used it maybe twice on my own, first to test the setup itself and then to verify that streaming worked from Steam on Linux. We then played most of the way through Overcooked, but this concerned our dog so much that we stopped. (We've both worked in restaurants before so we very quickly fell into those habits again and he assumed we were angry. This meant that we effortlessly carried some younger family members at LNY last year.)

A purchase of a Switch and then a #SteamDeck basically ended any possibility of using it again.

A couple of days ago we upgraded our TV from a LG one with a bad case of the blues to a Samsung one and it seemed sensible to just not put it back when re-doing the cable management.

In terms of playing games on the TV, I'm planning to get a dock for the deck and that'll be hooked up to the TV.

So yeah, end of an era for me: my Steam Link is going into a box somewhere and most likely won't make it out again unless I'm planning to hack it or we somehow end up with a second TV.

Surprised to see Steam Link rated only 4 stars!

It’s an excellent tool. I played Choo-Choo Charles on my phone via Steam Deck, and I’m impressed.

Performance: Minimal delay—barely noticeable!

Experience: Smooth and enjoyable, with no impact on gameplay.

Great job, Valve!

Aslında kısa bir video kaydı da aldım, ama VLC Player kayıtta pislik yapıyor ve wf-recorder ile aldığım kaydın istediğim kısmını kaydetmiyor!

O yüzden ana makinede yüklü Steam'de açılan oyunun sesinin Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB)'ten nasıl "çatırtı" yada "patırtı" şeklinde duyulduğunu paylaşamıyorum.

Fare imlecini ise iki makineden de kontrol edebiliyorum.

Bu Raspberry Pi 5'e kurulu Steam Link'ten Kontrolcü videosunu akışa yanıt olarak eklemeyi unutmuşum!

Öyle tek başına kalmasın.
Sonra arayınca bulamıyorum!

Steam Link'ten iyi haberler var

Masaüstü bilgisayarımdaki Steam ile nihâyet bağlantı kurdum

Steam'e yüklü oyunun fare imlecini Raspberry Pi 5 Ekranında görebildim!

Fakat maalesef henüz oyunları çalıştıramadım!

Bu Crysis1'in imleci!

Kontrolcü ayarlamayı değil, ama ayarlandıktan sonraki kontrol aşamasını çektim, daha kısa bir video oldu.

Tek elle o bile biraz zor oldu! ツ

Steam Link Masaüstü modunu seçsem de tam ekran açıldığı ve Waylandlı Raspberry Pi OS'ta hâlâ Print Screen tuşu çalışmadığı için Ekran Alıntısı da yapamadığımdan bâzı aşamaları gösteren fotoğrafları dışarıdan çektim!

Kontrolcü ayarlamayı gösteren çok kısa bir de video çektim, belki ayrıca paylaşırım.

Masaüstü Bilgisayarımı görüyorum, ama daha ileriye gidemiyorum!

Steam Link'in ileriki sürümlerinde çalışırsa hârika olacak

Şiddetli yağmur ve şimşekler yüzünden bilgisayarları kapatmak zorunda kalmıştım. (Geçmişte yakındaki sokaklardan birindeki direğin üzerindeki trafoya yıldırım düştüğü için PSU yanmıştı!)

Şimdi bağlantı linklerini inceliyorum da Steam Link Waylandlı Raspbery Pi 5'te henüz çalışmıyormuş!

Beklememiz gerekiyor!

Eğer Masaüstü Bilgisayarımdaki Steam'e ekli oyunları Raspberry Pi 5'e yüklü Steam Link üzerinden Raspberry Pi'ye bağlı 1080p IPS monitöde görerek "sorunsuz" oynayabilirsem bu müthiş bir şey olacak!

GOG'dan aldığım, Heroic Games üzerinden GOG hesabımla açıp indirdiğim ve Steam'e de eklediğim CRYSIS 1 'i Raspberry Pi 5'e yüklü Steam Link ile oynayabilmek! ツ

Masaüstü Bilgisayarımdan Steam Ayarlar, Remote Play'den "Steam Link'i Eşleştir" seçeneğine tıklıyorum.

Şanslıysam Raspberry Pi 5 üzerindeki Raspberry Pi OS'a kurulu Steam Link ekranında 4 haneli bir kod çıkıyor.

O kodu Masaüstü Bilgisayarımda açılan pencereye giriyorum.

Fakat işte o aşamada Raspberry Pi'ye yüklü Steam Link Masaüstü Bilgisayarımın Çevrimiçi olmadığını söylüyor!

Ne yaptıysam daha ileri gidemedim!

XBox Kontrolcüyü falan ayarladım. sorunsuz çalışıyor.
