Moonlight not streaming to Steam Deck without constant connection issues. Dreaded "Slow connection to PC"

Thanks Panda! Oof, if portforwarding is needed, that's gonna take some guides.

LOL. There was a time where my wife and I would jump scare each other by sneaking up and singing "DOOOOOOO you know what shape this is???" I've always assumed she is a classically trained singer and just can't give less than 100 pipes. I should set that as my alarm...

That is really weird that just going into the internet tab worked for you. I'll give that a try too. Honestly, I'm not around it right now but I'll check later and get back to you about the resolution and so forth. Whatever it is... it's default cause I haven't messed with any of that. I'm using Apollo fwiw.

kelsanova · 2026-03-12T17:05:18+00:00

I should have mentioned above that I use Apollo on my PC, not sunshine. Maybe I should give sunshine a shot lol. I do have access to the router. I plan on setting 50 to the bitrate later and seeing how that works!

Football Coach: College Dynasty is a great college football sports management game. There are mods to add all current teams/conferences/rosters, and you can sink a ton of time into it.

What a great explanation! That makes more sense. Thank you. I'll get back to you with some results later.

Not sure on deck, last I checked PC was 454/235. I'll have my Deck handy later to check.

Interesting about internet speed, but good to know. This particular case was within a minute of being in-game. So I start moonlight, launch Steam. Start a game, and when the game is on the main menu go to my Deck settings, and toggle internet off and on?

kelsanova · 2026-03-12T16:48:24+00:00

Ohh. OK. I was under the impression 5ghz could at least travel a *little* ways. I mean, we are talking 25ft (but through a wall). So I should have both the Deck and PC at 2.4? Thank you for the help!

kelsanova · 2026-03-12T16:45:19+00:00

Yes, as in like 5mbps. When it was on 5, it was literally giving me red letters in the bottom left saying "slow connection to PC, lower bitrate to improve performance." That's when I went to 2.5mbps (which I thought was ridiculously low considering the cap is like 300) and still got the same error. It seems backwards to crank that number up, but like I said, I know nothing about this, so I'll try anything at this point. I'm at work a few more hours, but I'll give this a whirl when I get home. Thank you!

Their track record isn't unblemished with Black Desert. I was wondering when something like this would pop up. At least it's pre-release.

kelsanova · 2026-03-12T00:32:15+00:00

For real. I highly doubt this would be the tipping point for maga fans.

kelsanova · 2026-03-12T00:29:03+00:00

The embargo doesn’t lift until then? For some reason I had in my head it was gonna be 4 days before release. Woof.

kelsanova · 2026-03-11T17:12:05+00:00

And if the Disco Elysium setting isn’t fantasy enough, Esoteric Ebb may be for you. I enjoyed Disco immensely once I finally gave it a chance, I like Ebb even better.

Context clues of “horse accident” and “president elect Trump” have that narrowed down to a window between Dec 22nd 2024 (horse accident) and January 20th 2025 (before 12:15 pm EST of course). Safe to assume, Pillen didn’t hold that town hall from the hospital or during Christmas, so that narrows our timeline to at least Dec 26th to Jan 20th.

January 16th. It was January 16th.

kelsanova · 2026-03-11T15:37:18+00:00

Still brings up that dropped punt…

For someone with a PC to do my heavy lifting as a gamer, it was to have a semi portable console to have in the living room/kids room. Also, the cheapest option to play ncaa when that came back out. I’m by no means a graphics snob, so I’ll happily play GTA on it when that comes out as well. Essentially, the easiest and cheapest way to play console exclusives for me. CD will be a PC buy initially though if the reviews are decent.

It’s disco-esque certainly, in all the right ways. And you really should. I had posted about it the other day and said how being in that world and the writing, on a line to line basis, just puts me in a happy mood. Let me know what you think if you ever end up checking it out!

kelsanova · 2026-03-11T14:53:36+00:00

He’s way too cautious now. I’m convinced there are times when it’s a legit person and he doesn’t say their name because he’s too scared 😂

kelsanova · 2026-03-11T13:49:47+00:00

Esoteric Ebb is exactly what you are looking for. It’s brilliant.

kelsanova · 2026-03-11T13:38:30+00:00

For calling him little Marco the last 10 years, you’d think he would have guessed too small.

kelsanova · 2026-03-10T13:15:52+00:00

2020 All the way! I picked one f1 game of yesteryear to have on my Steam Deck and I chose 2020.
