I'm looking to ask some questions about streaming steam from my PC to my laptop and tablet.

I can't find an answer anywhere I've searched.

Reddit has a sub for moonlight gaming.

But all my reddit accounts are perma banned. Even ones I hardly ever used so they seem to know my Microsoft account and have my whole deal banned. I guess I could go to a library but ...

Is there some place on lemmy I could ask ?

Basics of my situation.

PC has 12gb GPU 6700xt. AMD processor and GPU. Ryzen 7 , 7700 64gb ddr6 ram.

I'm trying to stream my PC steam to my laptop or tablet so I can play games through those. Specifically text heavy games. So the screen is closer to my face.

My main monitor hooked to my PC is my tv. 4k LG TV with HDR.

If I use steamlink on my Samsung tab 6 lite (10.4 inch 2000x1200 resolution) tablet I experience constant notifications of poor connection even though both the tablet and PC are in the same room as the router. Both on 5g network. The screen also turns off after 2 minutes even though I've changed it to 30 minutes. Turned off battery saver. Tried everything.

Almost like clockwork there is a hiccup lag in the image. Regardless of what I'm doing. This happened even outside of games just in the steam big picture. So thinking maybe tablet is just not going to work.

However, I tried downloading sunrise and moonlight to try that.

No more regular lags. Screen still times out 2 min but I get a new problem. Stream is only 720p resolution. Regardless of what settings I change in moonlight, it persistently stays at 720p. Even the mirror for the desktop is 720 (outside of steam app).

For the laptop. An Asus. 2 years old.14 inch screen. Supports hdr too. 1920x1080

I tried steam link with it. Resolution is good but does have lag occasionally. Too often to use.

I tried moonlight game streaming . Again, it will only transmit at lower resolution. Looks like 720p. Changing settings in moonlight do not appear to do anything. Even after restarting PC completely.

Resolution stays low. But there is not really any lags.

I tried changing my primary screen to the same resolutions as the tablet and Asus laptop. This didn't fix the low resolution in moonlight.

I've searched all over and can't find anyone else reporting this problem. The low resolution is present even outside of steam. The windows desktop icons and text are hard to read because of the low resolution (on the client device).

It's like the settings in moonlight aren't working or are being over written.

But steamlink creates proper client resolution. So why isn't moonlight ?

Also the color and brightness is bad too on the client (moonlight). But this might be caused by low resolution. It's good on steamlink though.

Turning off HDR on the host PC display settings helps with bad color and brightness but the client supports hdr so it shouldn't be a problem.

Just sharing some wholesome gaming. Taking a vacation soon and planning to game like I'm a teenager again.

The Wii motion controls got old real quick so I never got far in the game back at release. Might check it out now.

Caution: Massive spoilers for the game. This one goes deep...

You can grab one starting today.

If your PC struggles with the hefty system requirements of Crimson Desert but you're dying to dive into this epic open-world adventure from Pearl Abyss, don't sweat it. You can now play it through Boosteroid's cloud gaming service.

The Ukrainian cloud gaming platform just added Crimson Desert to its library. The game only dropped on March 19, 2026, and it's already available to stream. That means you can jump in without needing a beast of a computer - pretty much any device with a decent internet connection and a web browser will do.

Grab a monthly Boosteroid subscription, make sure you own the game in your Steam library (it launches straight from there), and you're good to go. It supports both keyboard and mouse as well as gamepads.

If you want the full scoop on how Boosteroid works in Ukraine, check out their big review (they even rolled out 4K streaming in Europe recently). The service now officially supports over 800 games, and Crimson Desert is one of the latest additions.

Quick reminder: Crimson Desert is a massive action RPG set in a brutal medieval world. You play as the mercenary Macduff, leading your crew as you try to survive and carve out a place in the war-torn land of Pyvel. The combat is intense, the story pulls you in, and the developers are still patching things up and improving controls. There's even talk of multiplayer down the line.
