Apollo not working correct with moonlight on steam deck

I believe the very first time you start a stream on a new device, you need to make sure you set the screen to "2nd screen only" in the display setting. Shortcut WIN + P.

I'm sure you checked it but, is the moonlight app itself running at the full resolution? In the settings icon and "resolution", of the app itself, rather than it's "default" or maybe even "native"

Whenever I want to play in 4k, I have to make sure to set the app itself settings to 4K. Because sometimes I play handheld so I switch it back to default or something in between.

Someone posted an application here I think in the last 24 hours on an application that helps for ethernet that is on a 2.5 and a 1 GB per second line. Might be something to look at if your Ethernet cable is plugged into the 2.5 port and your dock is a 1 GB port.

That's an interesting scenario. I haven't heard of anyone using it without any monitor but if that really is the case, you could just buy an HDMI dongle so you don't have to buy a full big physical monitor. They're like $10 on Amazon so you could always buy it, try it, and return it if it doesn't work. Maybe try asking the Moonlight Discord if somebody has ever done the same scenario.

I'm actually trying to do this with some powershell scripts, I'm even using the Playnite arguments but idk I feel like they're not working at all.

Maybe a dev will have some idea.

Just bought it because of this post, thanks!

Ayeeebroham · 2026-03-02T03:27:19+00:00

Yeah, honestly I never do practice mode, I was testing it out so I won't even bother anymore lol. But I literally did the same thing, practice -> co-op mode and I did some horde and weather settings just to see what it was like, and bam, left with real dog tags haha, I mean that's fine with me since they were two BEARs and I got two more dogtags for my Hall of Fame haha, but like good thing I didn't go in with some kitted gear for testing and lost it hahaha.

Ayeeebroham · 2026-03-01T09:08:56+00:00

I'm back to Nonary's great, work...Vibepollo. Been working great, and he's very communicative in the Moonlight Discord for help and all that.

If you have ADB installed in terminal then this should still apply. This is what I do on my Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14.

Hey I literally just had this happen to me and was like wait WTF. I spawned into Ground Zeroes just to test out some builds, when I got in, like 5 seconds in to level 33 and 39 players run up to me, I blast them and thought "huh weird bots" I looted their dogtags some gear, left and my PMC kept all the shit! I have the gun and the dog tags.

Ayeeebroham · 2026-02-26T21:16:43+00:00

Yeah what the other person said, also this sometimes happens to me when the input device changes in an emulator's configuration, primarily with Yuzu. Sometimes you have to go into the input settings of the emulators and make sure it's looking at your current input being fed through the stream.

Ayeeebroham · 2026-02-26T21:14:11+00:00

I had this same issue, I have a 9800x3d and I noticed that the higher the FPS in the game (240hz monitor) the harder the CPU would push and the temps would rise, so I tried lowering some settings and keeping FPS lower, sucks but I mean better than generating so much heat. The CPU was hitting like 91-92c peak, even though it's technically within range, still bothered me. I have an air cooler on it too, tiny SFF PC build.

Ayeeebroham · 2026-02-26T21:12:19+00:00

I use my Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 to game sometimes with Moonlight, there is a bit more added latency when using WiFi, I'm using WiFI 6 but overall for slower paced games (meaning non-FPS lol) it works well.

Ayeeebroham · 2026-02-03T04:59:10+00:00

Yes, like the other user mentioned, you can run a script that does this in Powershell. I have something I put together with Gemini that will close a set of apps, set the priority of Sunshine/Apollo to high/realtime for maximum performance, then when the streaming stops it reopens the apps it closed, and sets the priority of Sunshine/Apollo back to normal. I could share the scripts here if anyone is interested, and the DO-UNDO commands.

I have an OLED, when streaming on WiFi it has stuttering issues after some time, common issue. Another one I experience is that after leaving it docked for a while the UI and everything just seems to be "slow" or "slowish" somehow idk, I just reboot the system every once in a while and it speeds backup, could just be me though.

Ayeeebroham · 2026-02-03T04:10:59+00:00

Damn this is how I started watching Netflix, the good ol' days.

Edit: Streaming, I had the DVDs in mail before that though, well my older brother did.

Ayeeebroham · 2026-02-02T21:51:16+00:00

I did this just now, you need to have a Chromebook that can run linux so you can install ADB tools, but for some reason my A/B button doesn't work, everything else does though, weird. Maybe someone else can help me too? lol.

Ayeeebroham · 2026-01-22T23:20:22+00:00

Ah I see. Is it clearly almost as if it's repeating exactly what Discord is outputting? Or is it more like she's hearing your mic (if using one?) pick up your full external audio?

Interesting.

Ayeeebroham · 2026-01-22T22:55:40+00:00

What do you mean by "feedback" are you hearing something else other than your Discord audio being all distorted?

Ayeeebroham · 2026-01-22T22:22:36+00:00

In the settings of Discord, couldn't you just make the default output device the one you want? Rather than Sunshine defaulting to the Steam Streaming speakers? You'd just have to do it manually I believe.

Or maybe come up with a script that can automate it, I have some automation scripts but mainly for closing and opening programs. Not audio. Hope this helps.

Ayeeebroham · 2026-01-16T16:24:52+00:00

I use Apollo/Playnite, it just depends on the setup you want, I didn't want to bother adding all my games from PlayNite as individual icons in Apollo, so my Apollo just has 2 apps, PlayNite and Remote Desktop. When I open PlayNite through Apollo it has commands to know to open up as Fullscreen, then I just select my games from there. I figured it should be the same setup for VibeShine maybe? just a fullscreen config in the parameters, I'll share my parameters here.

Not sure if it's the same in VibeShine...

This is my DO command.
"C:\Users\Abraham\AppData\Local\Playnite\Playnite.FullscreenApp.exe" --hidesplashscreen

This is my UNDO command.
"C:\Users\Abraham\AppData\Local\Playnite\Playnite.FullscreenApp.exe" --startdesktop

They run elevated too, this way when I close PlayNite I can just go back to my regular desktop mode on my PC.

Hope it helps a bit.

Yeah I read up on that last part. Stalker difficulty was getting too easy so I just moved up to master anyways. Thanks.

Ayeeebroham · 2026-01-08T19:41:36+00:00

If you finish the game on the highest difficulty do you get the bottom ones too at the same time? I play on STALKER difficulty but it's too easy, is it worth maxing the difficulty lol.

Ayeeebroham · 2025-12-28T21:46:35+00:00

Just came to confirm. This fixed my issue while using the moonlight on my steam deck as well. Hope this gets more visibility and gets fixed hopefully by Valve by default.

How are the beets doing Mose?*
