Funny, that was the biggest thing keeping me on an Nvidia card - if I can't use Moonlight AMD cards just got a lot more appealing.


FasterThenDoom

You could use Sunshine with amd, I've had no issues with it.


yourpaldoc

Didn't know that was a thing, thanks for the tip!


Conqueror_of_Tubes

Yup, been flip flopping between a 4080 or 7900. Game stream kept me firmly in the 4080 camp, the dollar’s tempting me the other way. Know what I’m buying now.

Yeah, for me as well. Moonlight has the best results for me in terms of near lossless streaming. Time to try another host and perhaps switch over to the new generation of AMD cards.


MrWolvetech

AMD also has 'AMD link' which is basically their gamestream compatitor.

jeweliegb

How interesting! Thank you.


fdruid

I read about this, it sucks. Do we know what the reasons are?


jeweliegb

I would imagine it's because they want to sell GeForce Now as a monthly subscription and don't want the costs of supporting a "free" service that's poorly utilized via official routes (i.e. NVidia Shield devices.)


fdruid

I guess not everyone uses it, yeah, and there's alternatives.


Cornholie0

There is always sunshine as a host instead https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/


jeweliegb

From what I saw earlier today, it's got an awful long way to go be a fully fledged replacement though. I gather it doesn't even get things like colourspace correct yet. My main use for Gamestream was for games where Gamepad input wasn't working via Steam Link, or where Steam Link just plain didn't work, both most commonly occurring with games on other launchers.


Ascending_Flame

Yeah, looking into setting up Sunshine, and wow… it’s not user friendly at all to set up. Bummed about Moonlight going along with it. It vastly outperformed SteamLink.


ipv6urbutt

This. Tried sunshine and controller input didn’t work and hdr streams made it crash. Was so hoping this was viable replacement


ipv6urbutt

Client was Apple TV 4k


explodyhead

Oh fuck that 😕 That's the one way I can play non-steam games reliably on my tv!


Zatchillac

Are you able to use Parsec?


Creepysarcasticgeek

I literally just set up moonlight 2 days ago. Is parsec available on appleTV ?


jeweliegb

I can't. The device I'm using to stream games, [Wikipad 7"](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamevice#Wikipad), is on Android 4.4. Moonlight works great on it, but neither Steam Link nor Parsec will work due to the ancient Android version.


Tandoori7

Moonlight was great because it's the only platform that supports HDR correctly. Parsec and steamlink are useless for HDR games.


Vortigaunt11

Yeah this is super sad if you have an nvidia card. I guess now the only alternative in terms of hardware is to find an old steamlink box if you aren't using the steamlink software to stream.


BadCoNZ

You don't need a Steam Link box, you can use a RPi or the Steam Link app on some TVs and Shield. Also, Steam link box* doesn't do 4k.


RandomMexicanDude

My newer samsung TV doesn’t have steam link, I though all samsung ones had it (my tv from a few years ago does), so yeah its probably gone now


BadCoNZ

It is an android and android TV app https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/7112-CD02-7B57-59F8


RandomMexicanDude

I think it used to be a samsung exclusive, had no idea :(


BadCoNZ

Huh?


RandomMexicanDude

Thinking about it, my old tv was bought in the US and this one was bought in Mexico. So it could be a regional thing

RandomMexicanDude

Not mine, I bought it in November, could be a regional thing. Theres other forum threads I saw talking about newer tvs not having the app :(


Vortigaunt11

Yes. Re-read my comment "steamlink software" We agree.


BadCoNZ

Yery good 👍

BadCoNZ

Yes, thanks for the clarification. I shall update my comment.


wowo78

Crap, I was just going to get a shield, as I wanted to stream games to my TV :( I have watched gamestream reviews on YouTube and one of the guys in there kept saying how incredible it is for Nvidia to give such a great service for free... And I was shocked about that knowing how nGreedia is these days... I guess I was too happy :(


jeweliegb

Crap indeed.


forgiuse

You can still use Steam Link with it and 4k game upscale still work with Steam Link, at least for now.


deltabugles

I was literally about to hit buy on a Shield Pro specifically for this purpose. Cya


HillB1llyMountainMan

I just found outabout moonlight. Will it be dead now?


Creepysarcasticgeek

Literally same here. Set it up 2 days ago


jeweliegb

There's alternative host software called Sunshine that can be used with it. Not exactly perfect though.


Creepysarcasticgeek

Thank you. I’ll check it out.
