![]() ![]() Sony Bravia x800d49 (2016 model, android 9), latest gen xbox controller connected to the tv thru bluetooth. I went ahead and installed 22.3.1, after watching Wendell’s video about it and decided I would give AMD Link another chance. I got a 6800 XT from Linus’s certified actual gamer program… i would have gotten a 3080 had I had a choice, but it was rough to get a GPU back then (still is, but a little easier now). I’ve been using nV GPUs ever since i got rid of my Radeo 9700 Pro but changed last gen. Was using GeForce Experience’s gamestream + moonlight on android tv, before. where Steam In-home streaming just works.I gave AMD Link another shot… I like to play games in the living room from time to time… I’ve been using Steam Link for a while now, ever since i switched from nVidia to AMD. Mind you, this is the same PC, same Shield TV, same network etc. Apparently there is some "auto discover" setting somewhere but if it actually exists, AMD certainly didn't but it in any place you expect it to be like maybe the AMD link or ReLive game streaming menu. ![]() Turned off Windows firewall and everything. No matter what you do, it won't find your PC. At least I got a good workout running up and down the stairs.Īfter finding a game that doesn't have any of that, the game launched by the app doesn't do anything other than showing a black screen and a controller overlay and after a couple of seconds it will just conk out without any error or warning.īack to the Android TV app. You know how some games have this menu where you can change some settings before the game launched or how Steam sometimes gives you update news or requires you to agree to the EULA? AMD couldn't be arsed to built in some checks to get around this so basically any game that has that type of menu will not launch from the app. Okay, game launched on PC, smartphone shows a controller overlay. So basically you have to enable the same thing twice in two different menus because I don't see how they are different. ![]() You need to enable remote play AND AMD Live. so you thought AMD Live was there to stream your games? You guessed wrong. This is just shitty design.Īlright so you install ReLive, at least that is a plainless procedure. Except there is no mention anywhere, not on the driver dashboard or the Android TV app that ReLive is required. Okay, that will connect if you scan the QR code. Maybe its something with the app so lets install the Android phone app. It will not be able to find a PC running AMD Link. It already starts after you install the app on a Android TV device. Well, some of you will be happy to know that you too can be AMD's lead software engineer because writing software that actually works does not seem to be a job requirement. ![]() The only big downside is rumble doesn't work when connecting a controller wireless. The whole thing is painless and just works. You just install the app, enable the streaming setting on your PC and off you go. The other day I read AMD released AMD Link (their version of Steam In-home steaming) for Android TV devices and as I've been playing around with Steam In-home streaming lately to see if it is a viable way to play games in the living room (PC is upstairs, man cave room will not be finished for some time) I thought I'd give AMD Link a go. ![]()
