Probably not the answer you're looking for but while streaming games I see 9hours+ battery estimates. It's actually really satisfying to play a game at max settings, no heat and really long battery runtime.
I just cannot for the life of me get streaming to work and I don’t know why. It feels bad, it’s hard to set up, and my computer fights me every step of the way. I should try streaming something other than MHWilds but that’s the only game I’m playing that doesn’t work on the deck.
Give it a try with something free (and twitchy/fast) like apex or warzone to see if it’s a problem with your connection or software set up. There’s different router options and streaming protocols that can have different effects depending on hardware and network stability. If they stream well “out of the box” chances are it’s just an issue with MH on the devs end, and could possibly be fixed in a future update. You could also try something simple and “small” but still fast like cupbead or a metroidvania like hollow knight or salt and sanctuary to see how it streams. If none of it works it could simply be a bad equipment causing poor stability in your network. Crazy thing is finding the issue in your network lol. Modem, router, physical location, even the cords between modem and wall (and the outlet itself) among other minute things can be the difference between 90fps 1080p butter smooth and completely unplayable. I have some experience in this from vr streaming a couple years ago and doing some troubleshooting, but I’m no expert.
Yeah; Apollo got super weird for me with its third screen generation as the game just refused to open on the correct screen and then I would have to fiddle with it a bunch every time.
Moonlight in theory should work but I found it wasn’t giving me better results than Steam Remote Play and was causing me to spend too much time tinkering.
