|
||||
|
||||
## Steam
|
||||
|
||||
<https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Official_repositories#multilib>
|
||||
|
||||
Edit /etc/pacman.conf
|
||||
|
||||
```conf
|
||||
[multilib]
|
||||
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pacman -S steam
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When prompted use vulkan-radeon on AMD and vulkan-intel on intel.
|
||||
|
||||
### autostart
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ln -s ~/.local/share/applications/steam-native.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### mangohud
|
||||
|
||||
Start steam with mangohud
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pacman -S mangohud lib32-mangohud
|
||||
cp /usr/share/applications/steam-native.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Edit ~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop:
|
||||
|
||||
```conf
|
||||
Exec=/usr/bin/mangohud /usr/bin/steam-native %U
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Streaming
|
||||
|
||||
See [Sunshine and Moonlight](#sunshine-and-moonlight) first! It's much better than steam streaming.
|
||||
|
||||
Works great from Arch hosts to Arch guests with a little configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
1. wifi
|
||||
|
||||
Your wifi should be isolated to the fastest band you have available at the widest channel width on
|
||||
the least populated channel. BSS Transition and Fast Roaming are the only settings I enable since
|
||||
they do make a difference for video calls and streaming while moving from room to room but don't
|
||||
cause interference or connectivity issues like the other settings.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. host
|
||||
|
||||
Your host settings don't matter too much since you'll be limited to Steam's compatibility with
|
||||
Arch's mesa drivers, the current kernel version, and whether Mercury is retrograde. Steam does a
|
||||
pretty good job automatically selecting the correct libraries and capture mechanism. Here are
|
||||
the settings I use:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Client
|
||||
|
||||
Here's where things start to matter. As of kernel `6.7.6-arch1-2`, `mesa 1:24.0.2-1`,
|
||||
`libva 2.20.0-1`, `mesa-vdpau 1:24.0.2-1`, and `libvdpau 1.5-2` hardware decoding works on Arch
|
||||
with AMD integrated graphics on both my framework (Ryzen 7 7840U w/ Radeon 780M Graphics) and my
|
||||
Steam Deck.
|
||||
|
||||
In the steam advanced client settings select "Enhanced 4k" to start. Do not change
|
||||
the Resolution limit. Decoding at the native resolution of your screen will always perform
|
||||
better than using a non-native resolution. In my testing even lower resolutions result in
|
||||
20-30ms of additional delay over native. Framerate limit should stay at automatic. This will try
|
||||
to match the streaming framerate to your display's refresh rate. You can set this to 60 if
|
||||
things are lagging too much. Bandwidth limit can be adjusted up and down to fit your wifi's
|
||||
limitations if you are experience frame drops and stuttering. If you experience issues like
|
||||
crashing on launch, blank screen or strange artifacts disable hardware decoding. HEVC and low
|
||||
latency networking have never caused me issues. Here are my settings:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
And to show what a properly configured client can do, here's Crab Champions streamed to my
|
||||
laptop at 2k, 99fps. Note the streaming latency is ~10ms and the dark blue (encode time), light
|
||||
blue (network transmit time), and red (decode time) lines are extremely close together.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
My Steam Deck performs about the same but with a lower (~7ms) streaming latency. This is
|
||||
expected because the steam deck streams at 1280x720 which means faster encode and transmit.
|
||||
|
||||
If the red line is far above the blue lines it means your decoding (software or hardware) is
|
||||
struggling to keep up. Either it's not decoding at native resolution (likely transforming the
|
||||
decoded frame to match the display resolution) or your cpu/gpu is doing something else.
|
||||
|
||||
If the light blue line is far above the dark blue line your wifi is slow. Increase channel
|
||||
width, increase transmit power, ensure devices are connected to 5 or 6Ghz, and ensure your
|
||||
device has the latest drivers.
|
||||
|
||||
If the dark blue line is far above the x axis of the graph your host is struggling to encode
|
||||
fast enough. Likely the host's cpu/gpu is doing something else or it's an old computer
|
||||
|
||||
### FSR
|
||||
|
||||
<https://linux-gaming.kwindu.eu/index.php?title=FSR_-_FidelityFX_Super_Resolution>
|
||||
|
||||
> This sharpens the image. 4 is an example value. 0 is maximum sharpness, higher values mean less sharpening. 5 is the maximum value. The default is 2
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_STRENGTH=2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Sunshine and Moonlight
|
||||
|
||||
<https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/en/latest/>
|
||||
|
||||
Sunshine is desktop streaming service that leverages hardware encoding to provide near-zero latency
|
||||
network streaming to any device that can run moonlight.
|
||||
|
||||
### Install Sunshine
|
||||
|
||||
<https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/en/latest/about/setup.html#install>
|
||||
|
||||
I used the Archlinux pkg. Follow the instructions (including the autostart instructions).
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
wget https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases/latest/download/sunshine.pkg.tar.zst
|
||||
pacman -U --noconfirm sunshine.pkg.tar.zst
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Install Moonlight
|
||||
|
||||
<https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/releases>
|
||||
|
||||
Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Q (Moonlight Stream)
|
||||
Quit the streaming session (leaving the game running on the host PC)
|
||||
|
||||
Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S (Moonlight Stream)
|
||||
Open performance stats overlay (not supported on Steam Link or Raspberry Pi)
|
||||
|
||||
Ctrl + Alt + Shift + M (Moonlight Stream)
|
||||
Toggle mouse mode (pointer capture or direct control)
|
||||
|
||||
Ctrl + Alt + Shift + V (Moonlight Stream)
|
||||
Type clipboard text on the host
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Sunshine doesn't need a ton of config. For streaming to devices like the steam deck
|
||||
and my computer I would recommend adding a new application that uses the `display_scale.py`
|
||||
script to set the resolution of the host before connecting.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Copy `display_scale.py` to your host
|
||||
2. Create a new application
|
||||
3. Add command: `/home/ducoterra/display_scale.py 1920x1080 1`
|
||||
4. Optionally add undo command: `/home/ducoterra/display_scale.py 3840x2160 1`
|
||||
5. Save and connect!
