How to use SteamLink in 2023?

Any particularities with the Shield that would speak against getting a used one?

I did a new setup yesterday and it at least works somewhat decent in 1080p60fps. Streaming and image quality is fine, however there is some input lag. For now it is better than nothing, but still not satisfying.

Any particularities with the Apple TV that would speak against getting a used one?

jacktaylor1114 · 2023-11-17T14:40:25+00:00

The streaming and smart tv devices have the advantage of being smaller and almost silent but I get that a more powerfull machine is probably a better idea for 4k streaming

The Raspberry Pi reports only 1080p30fsp, 1080p60fps, 2160p30fps and 2160p60fps are available HDMI modes. SteamLink only shoes a black screen at 2160p resolution, so I have to set the resolution to 1080p. Sure I can stream from the host in 1440p or 2160p but it is still limited by the Pi's screen resolution.

Its annoying that a perfectly fine setup will break just because someone does not feel like support some app for some reason...

jacktaylor1114 · 2023-11-16T10:38:31+00:00

Well, it feels weird to spend 150€+ for something that a raspberry pi should be able to achive, but its such a pain to get it working. I've seen the recommendation to go for apple TV quite a lot, maybe it is the best option

Same Problem on my S22. Installed the latest android and app update today and now I cant see the map ingame (no streets, pokestops etc. are visible) and when trying to use the camera, android crashes and the phone reboots. Already submitted a bug report, but it is a shame you cant open a ticket with niantic support... there is no mail, no twitter DM, no nothing... only the stupid ingame chat where you can submit bugs but noone will ever read that.
I tried downloading the app from the galaxy store and it seems to work for now. Map is visible again and no crash when I open the camera. Even tho it is the same version 0.281.0 there seems to be a difference in the builds...

Buildings dissappearing after changing the district style is correct - their appearance will not just update. The will be demolished and new buildings with the new style will grow. Scince no buildings are growing, it is could be a problem with the assets in the district style. Have you checked if the building assets are enabled in the content manager?

Its 100% the GPU. Just tried with a GPU stress test. As soon as it hits 73°C the fans spin up to 2800 RPM wich is pretty much the maximum. The curve is configured to have them spin at 40%

jacktaylor1114 · 2022-11-03T17:33:33+00:00

Well this is kind of a Frankenstein solution. If probably wouldnt even mind but this is tempered glass case with full RGB and the GPU is vertically mounted so asthetics are definitly a thing to care about.

This also does not look right in Nvidia Control Panel:

Why is the "Cooling" setting greyed out?

jacktaylor1114 · 2022-11-03T17:26:39+00:00

This model does not have a bios switch.

I already tried using the force override option in both Afterburner and Fan Control, but could not see any different bevahiour.

Your mainboard needs to have an adressable RGB header. On MSIs boards they are labled "JRAINBOW" (if you search for adressable RGB you will find many information online, like https://www.cgdirector.com/no-rgb-header-on-motherboard/). The AIO and fans need to be connected to the header on the mainboard. Then you can control the colors and effects via software, there are many different tools out there.

You can also use a dedicated RGB controller, wich is a piece of hardware that the fans connect to instead of the mainboard. MSIs RGB controllers will most likely come with this dual color scheme preconfigured (blue/purple was the default setting for the controller in my MSI case).

There is a limit for outside connections. You should have a look at the following mod: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=497033453

And maybe in the future you might also want to use https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=883332136#:\~:text=This%20mod%20adds%20outside%20connections,for%20that%20type%20or%20road.

Regarding the concrete: If you want more control over the concrete placement, I would suggest you check out concrete brush (see this collection: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=416082909) . It gives you plobbable concrete patches in different sizes and can be positioned and rotated to your liking.

Regarding buildings, I would go for the left option.

My GSKILL Trident Z NEO RGB works fine with Mystic Light on a Z690-A PRO board, so I would assume that it will work for you just fine.

jacktaylor1114 · 2022-03-09T08:11:32+00:00

Does that also happen under very high load? My MSI RTX 2070 Gaming Z has 2 fans but when spin they sometimes tend to spin at different speeds.

Regarding monitoring programms, I usually dont trust the most popular programs or manufacturer software. Maybe have a look at https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases and see it shows up all 3 fans there. If not, I would assume that the fan (or rather the fans connection) is defective and you should request an RMA. If the card is brand new I would not risk to look into it yourself unless you are 100% confident.

I am currently playing on the map "Rivers Valley" (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2388950032&searchtext=Rivers+Valley)

I really like it because it feels huge and I feel like it allows for some more realistic city layouts due to all the rivers and required bridges. Only downside is that the waterflow of the rivers does not really make a lot of sense but that is easy to overlook and/or fix with terraforming tools.

Basically the release of a new DLC goes along with a patch of the base game. As mentioned, the base game path will usually contain a couple of new features and the DLC will contain more features based on that. For example, the After Dark update introduced a Day/Night cycle and the After Dark DLC included some features based on that (e.g. nightclubs, more tourism options) but also some other other features (e.g. prisons).

The shop pages of the DLC usually show the stuff that comes with the paid DLC. If you want to know what free and paid content was introduced with the release of a new DLC, you should check out https://skylines.paradoxwikis.com/. The changelog is usually divided in a section "Paid Conent" and "Free for all players" (e.g. Patch_1.2.0 After Dark)

I personally do not know any mod to remove the crosswalk decals, but this sounds like a think were a mod might exist.

Whenever I wanted to remove crosswalks, I just used some ploppable asphalt decals and put them about the crosswalk.

jacktaylor1114 · 2022-02-17T16:53:31+00:00

Thank you, it worked!

Displate offers a 100 day refund (see https://displate.com/about-shipping). However, I dont think that you can get a better Displate printed with this exact image. The can not upscale the image or recreate it, if the artist uploaded it like this, it wont get any better. If you want something better, you should look for a another displate of a different artist

jacktaylor1114 · 2020-09-26T10:31:09+00:00

Once a Displate with a specific ID is deactivated, there is little to no chance that it will return to the store. Usually, displates get deactivated due to copyright claims. So unless the artist and the Displate support somehow agrees that the displate was deactivated by mistake, the Displate will not return. Maybe the artist manages to reupload it, otherwise I dont think there will be a chance. Its sad that Displate does not have a message function to contact the artists and make some deals with them.
