I have this issue as well :( I have PTT in Helldivers 2 bound to one of the back buttons, when I hit it the >)) mic icon lights up on the HUD, but no one can ever hear me. Hopefully the community can provide a fix, or some more clarification from Valve would be nice also

All of that is true, and makes perfect sense. It all depends on where you live, of course.

They are not giving up the algorithm, simple as that.

You guys need to try out streaming from PC and/or PS5 to Steam Deck. Technically everything runs on the SD in this scenario. I’m playing FF7 Rebirth on the SD via my PS5 right now, and it is glorious. Helldivers 2 via the gaming rig is also pretty sweet.

Steam’s built in Remote Play and Chiaki4Deck are the best!

That is so cool! I had actually forgotten about this game, until I saw it in this article that includes a bunch of other recommendations that are in these genres:

Been playing Helldivers 2, really fun game!
Question about it: It offers a curved HUD option in the settings, which is really neat in the YT vids I’ve seen, especially since I have a curved monitor. I’d love to enable this, but it doesn’t work at all for me. Does it for anyone else?

Good luck mate!

Thats Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth!

My PS5 is wired, and my SD is the only device on the 6GHz WiFi I have up. So, imperceptible! I can count a handful of times I noticed input lag or stutter, that’s it. It’s basically cloud gaming, but sitting upstairs from the server.

Basically the same situation here fellow Helldiver, thank you for the confirmation. Now lets get back to the front lines!!

Just curious, when you do this in HD2, how do you use the mic?

Can verify as a heavy Remote Play user that the update indeed breaks it entirely. Luckily, Sunlight/Moonlight still works just fine.

I too just discovered YouTube.

Sure, valid question. I tend to set up all my in progress games for streaming, as I spend a good chunk of time playing within my home network. I get to enjoy the games with the horsepower and high settings of my main rig, and incredible battery life on the SD.

I want to play an RTS and have Halo Wars in my library, so I’m trying to get that running over Sunshine/Moonlight and knock it off my backlog.

Station 2 Station. I dont think its Deck Verified yet, but it runs great. Its so easy to turn off brain, chill to the music, and lay down some train tracks and bridges while the time just disappears. If you want, you can tryhard it, which is also fun, depending on the mood.

Watch Bluey. They’ll like it, and you’ll learn a few things too. There is also a board game and a mobile game.

I hope I dont need to upgrade my Sound Blaster audio card!

Man of Steel. It was a shot in the arm for DC movies, and the Superman character in film. Why they didnt follow up with a direct sequel, and instead released that dumpster fire Batman v Superman instead, I will never understand.

To add to the off-normal usage scenarios, I mostly play my SD at home and when doing so Stream from my main rig. In this method, the battery life is incredible. It’s basically just running the network card, screen, and registering button inputs, and it really just sips on the energy usage.
