Multiple Client PC's

[mourke]

Hi, I'm kind of a noob at this in home streaming so excuse my idiotic ness but can you have more than one client pc (let's call it two for arguments sake) playing two different games streaming off one host pc will that work?

[MikeSharpeWriter]

Not at this time. Windows Games often make it so only that game will be able to take commands from the Keyboard/mouse/Gamepad. Windows also treats multiple Mouse and Keyboards as one.

Some flavours of Linux can allow this to happen already using other streaming software, however there is another issue:

Many Modern games use more than 50% of the PCs resources, so in short the game will be even more laggy than before.

you talking about Multiseats? i do this at home i have streamed games and played games off the same PC at the same time it's just Steam is set up for a single user but the walk around is to make it not save your user info and use Multiseat software or code it in and yes coding it in on Windows is a hoge job but on Linux it's eazy

It can be done just like a server running multible dedicated games with mutible players. You would need more then one virtual desktop and multi videocards and use your intergrated gpu to run the desktops and videocards to run /stream the video/games. Its done with towerless networking in companys all the time. But still I dont see the need unless you live in a group home setting.

A Virtual Desktops basicly give you effecticly a second desktop on the main computer. It is in short a way to create a two "PC" on the Computers. However, you may be forced to only control one of them, unless other means are available, such as streaming.

In theroy, yes you can use Virtual Desktops to stream multiple games to Multiple Clients. But I've never tried it to say it is actually possible, but you are sharing the same resorces with other people, and games basicly take as much as they can get. A GTX 770 is fine doing one game, but trying to get that to run two games released this year may result in low quiality images for both people.

Windows has trouble supporting them, but there is An app for Windows: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc817881.aspx I know some companies use this type of system in their work places, but they often are using low powered programs compared to games.

Some Linux Variants, GNOME & KDE actually have this built in to some versions of their OS. However being able for the games to run is another matter.

i think so. basically what i am doing is building one high power gaming rig and two lower power intel celeron g1820 in a powercool t01b case and i was wondering if i could play CoD (for aruguements sake i know its a ♥♥♥♥ game) and someone else on the other client computer could play Counter strike at the same time off the same host pc thanks

i think this will work fine from windows 7 http://www.miniframe.com/ but it has no screen saver you need to turn off your monitor by hand

Is there anything new?

Hi. im from germany, sorry for my bad english...

i have 2 in home streaming clients that stream with the self server. client 1 steam link, client 2 windows laptop lenovo w510. Server i7 6400 32gbram nvidia 1060 dual gpu.

you need software and 2 network cards and 2 screens

1.first install Aster v7 and activate 2 terminals.

2. now you must give each terminal a own ip.(Aster control center)

please use 1 ip por network card(steam bind all udp ports on a networkcard. dont use 2 ip`s in one card).

3.install steam
4. install sandboxie
5.go on terminal 2 and open sandboxie. klick on konfiguration and than edit konfiguration. notpad must open. now you earse the konfiguration from default box and copy this

[DefaultBox]

ConfigLevel=7
Template=WindowsFontCache
Template=LingerPrograms
Template=Chrome_Phishing_DirectAccess
Template=Firefox_Phishing_DirectAccess
Template=AutoRecoverIgnore

OpenWinClass=\Device\QWAVEdrv
OpenClsid=\Device\QWAVEdrv
OpenIpcPath=\RPC Control\SbieSvcPort
OpenIpcPath=\Device\QWAVEdrv
OpenIpcPath=\RPC Control\umpo

5. go to steam folder and make a link i the self folder(sandboxie can not find the exe, but the ink)

6. open sandboxie and open the windows integration. my sandboxie is german. "verknüpfung hinzufügen" is it by me... open your link from steam and now you have "[defaultBox] steam" on your desktop

7. downlod this:

and unzipp it. Follow the instruktions in txt file. save the file and use the bat to exe converter to compile a exe file of it.

8. open default box steam on terminal 2 and add the "steam neustart.exe" to your steam.

_______forget point 9
(9. close steam and go to C:\\sandbox\yourusernamefromterminal2\defaultbox\drive\c\program files (x86)\steam\config and edit the config.vdf with notepad++ or editor. search for clientid and change one number. (i have made it before it works. i think you dont need it))

now you can open steam on terminal 1 and 2 with different accounts and streaming.

on terminal 2 is a limitation. i don`t know why. if you start stream a game with big picture all is perfect. but if you close ist and start is again no controller input is detectet.
solution:
stream the Server neustart from the client and your steam restarts on server. now you can stream with you input...

please give me feedback and questions. i hope it works for you

-disable your firewall if in home streaming find you but not connect
-not every game run with the aster ip restiction of one terminal. go to aster extendet settings and press the all but selected butten. now you can select the game directory and all works

German translation is coming soon

Looks like you have a very interesting and well made configuration for two streaming clients. Do you use two different steam accounts? Also, is this safe from playing online games with VAC (ie. streaming CSGO on two clients)?

[gabbapieht]

i pay every game two times. have two steam accounts for this. you can make more. You dont cheat. When you can play this game with a frind together from the self lan, than you can play it from the self server

Hallo gabbapieht,
Da mein Englisch vermutlich noch schlechter ist als deines, würdest du das Howto bitte auch nochmal ins Deutsche übersetzen.
Das, was du durchgeführt hast, ist nämlich fast genau das, was ich suche.
Wäre das auch mit mehr als 2 Clients möglich?
Gruß
Sven
