Experiences with steam deck and Remote Play Together

[Fr34k]

Hello 👋🏼

What are your experiences to play "remote play together" between two steam decks?

I tried a lot with my friend.
Me: 300 Download and 50 Upload
He: 100 Download and 20 Upload

But our experiences are very poor :(
We can not really play.
Most of the time the host get the message, that the client is connected in the game... but the client did only see a loading screen for remote play together.

We tried really often with different Wi-fi's.
But experience keep extremely poor.

Can someone confirm "remote play together" is working between two steam decks?
And what bandwidth do you (your friend) have?

Thank u

when on the same wifi, check the router settings and disable wifi isolation for the ssid used so the devices can talk directly to each other

and disable any vpn, on router or devices

for across internet remote play/together
the host device needs 40+mb/s upload, and client needs 40+mb/s download

thank you!
we already did all the mentioned settings I think.
We only tried at the same WiFi with a Mobile Hotspot and set direct share IP in the Steam remote settings.
But that did not work - I think the mobile Hotspot with a phone and a SIM had not enough bandwidth for both of us.

But trying via internet should work, with our bandwidth I thought.
Me: 300/50
My Friend: 100/20

I tried to be the host, but my friend just see a black screen and nothing happens...

anyway: we now mostly play games with the tag "online-koop" and this seems to work. But this way we can not play old retro games or any other games which only supports local koop :(
additional we both have to buy a copy of the game.

I also tried sunshine and moonlight with VPN to my LAN... but we had some problems with screen resolution.
and this is just a messi workaround :(
RPT would be best for controller settings, resolution settings, invite friend, etc...

So "remote play together" would be soooo great, but hell... we can't get it to work :(

also phone hotspot may be restricting ports
but remote play is alot of bandwidth, 40-50mb/s
