I wanted to stream Expedition 33 to my deck. The game launches just fine but it won’t recognize anything but the touch screen and I see MnK controls are active.
So I connected a controller to my PC, launched the game there, then started streaming from the deck. But as soon as the deck is connected the game goes back to MnK inputs and again nothing but the touch screen works.
The PC is running Steam Flatpak and Proton Experimental. With default Steam Input settings (which I think cannot be disabled when using Steam Play anyway).
I cannot run the game using Proton GE, just getting a black screen with audio.
So is Steam Play supposed to be a plug and play experience and I’m unlucky?
It should be pretty plug and play, but it looks like some controller settings can mess up the deck’s input.
Trying going into the game properties and setting Steam Input to disabled in the controller tab, then restarting the game. Also worth checking if it’s happeneing with all your games or just E33 in particular.It’s pretty janky in my experience. I use sunshine, works a lot better.
Sunshine is the way. Steam Remote “works”… technically… But Sunshine/Moonlight is way better.
Sunshine is what I use, too. You can set it up to adapt your monitor resolution to the deck upon connecting, and set it back to normal upon disconnect. Very handy.
You definitely can turn off steaminput with proton. Per-game, too.
Its supposed to but doesnt.
