At one point we were playing Speedrunners with 2x DS4s, 1x XB1 and 1x Switch Pro. Same setup as the Chromecast - pc is getting internet from a powerline connection to the router, and ethernet cable running from the router to the back of the Steam Link.Ĭonnecting controllers to the steam link was easy. Turns out my brother in law had a steam link physical hardware, so he let me have it and I had a crack. I would appreciate any suggestions you guys have!ĮDIT 13/03/22 - I thought I'd update you all on where I got with this. I'm wondering, should I buy the actual steam link hardware? Is it worth buying it though, at this stage, or is it just horribly outdated? Or should I just try and run the app some other way?
I think it's because the Chromecast just isn't powerful enough to decode the images and send back input to the pc at the same time. I have had limited success with a friend's XB1 but still not much of an improvement.Ĭontroller issues aside, the latency is a killer. The controller I am using is a Dualshock 4. The latency I get when playing games is absolutely insane, and any Bluetooth controllers I connect to the Chromecast stop working when I launch Steam Link. My pc is connected via Powerline directly to the router, and the router is connected directly via ethernet to the CCwGTV. I should mention that I use Plex from the same PC to the same Chromecast to stream 4K HDR movie rips that use more bandwidth than Steam Link and they work flawlessly.I have been trying for nearly a year to get Steam Link app working on my Chromecast with Google TV. It's not an interference issue but it's entirely possible it's just a firmware issue with the controller, since Microsoft can't seem to do Bluetooth right (even using Xbox controllers via Bluetooth instead of the wireless adapter on PC supposedly causes weird framerate issue somehow and I don't think it has ever been fixed). I ran a speed test on the Chromecast with Analiti and I get my full 300 down/150 up from my ISP and being that both devices are hardwired to a gigabit switch, to my primary gigabit router, the direct connection between both should be even faster.Īlso, I use like 6 other Bluetooth devices daily, including the Chromecast's own remote without issue. I might as well just move my PC every time I want to play on my TV lol.Īs I said in the post, the PC and the Chromecast are both wired (and the Chromecast is on a gigabit adapter, not the dumb official one that's limited to 100 Mbps). Kinda defeats the purpose of me doing this if I have to play at 1080p on an 82" 4K TV.
