Hi

Does anyone have any guides to using moonlight with steam as i am struggling to get a picture with this -
with desktop mode i get m 2k144hz quite easily adn can play forza from my server pc through my laptop but steam games dont seem to play so well.

hi.
my issue is trying to get steam through moonlight to give me a better fps.
i know my pc can do it and its all hardwired so no issue re: bandwith.
just dont know the setting.

hi
so, the issue is this:
my server machine has a 1440p/60 screen attached to it.
i have a 1440p/144hz screen upstairs in my office, where i want to play my steam games. i can play them fine, no missed frames, and the computer can definitely do it in the games i want to play (eg forza) - i can see the fps being 200+ but the moonlight overlay for steam says ' 60.00hz' .

If i try to run a game off the desktop that belongs to steam or otherwise, it seems to run but on a seperate monitor (ie i can hear the sounds but cant see anything)

Turn your monitor off and either use an EDID emulator or use virtual.display adaptor

I did use EDID emulator however now I just use the virtual display adaptor as it seems reliable and does any res or refresh rate I want.

So I did that.
I installed a new 'monitor' with the resolution and refresh rate I want.
If i set this screen to mirror the desktop then I only seem to get the desktop (60hz) refresh.

If I set the screen to be a different screen to desktop main screen then the game loads on the other screen and with a TV I cant just drag it across
