I have decent internet, not the best but it's alright for me. 100/100, my WiFi in general is not bad. Works well on my Phone, last time i tried it on my PS5 it just worked fine no interruptions, same with my Switch.

But the Deck, i seriously don't understand what's wrong here. Whenever i try to stream games, doesn't matter if it's through Moonlight or the Steam Remote, if I'm on WiFi on the deck, the game starts out good, but then after a while it slowly just kills itself. I get the network indicator that something is wrong with the connection. This goes to the part where the game can just become a complete mess of pixels, doesn't respond to inputs whatsoever so i have to go to my pc to turn it off. This ALWAYS happen after like 5 minutes of playing too, doesn't matter what game i am playing, same thing.

I do have a dock for the deck, if it's plugged in with Ethernet there's absolutely no issues whatsoever, game just runs fine.

Tried streaming to both my phone and to a tablet i have, both on WiFi and there the game just... works? it can stutter sometimes on WiFi but that's normal since there's a lot of connections around me. But it never goes as bad as when i try to stream to the Deck.

This is only when streaming, playing online on my Deck works fine, tried Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, Tekken, Street Fighter, and there the games just work fine online, but streaming?

This sucks because sometimes i want to play more demanding games if i'm laying in my bed or so and i don't want to just pull an ethernet cable through my entire apartment just to hook it to my Deck for something like that lol.

SteamOS on the Deck
Linux Nobara on my PC.

Yes I know decky can cause problems but I'm not here to have people telling me that.

I have been experimenting a bit with lossless scaling and now I want to try to get decky framegen working on some games.

The game I'm currently trying to get the framegen to work in is Hogwarts Legacy. I own the game on epic, the game is installed through heroic launcher and added through there to steam.

But no matter what I try to do with the launch option for framegen, the game just refuses to launch no matter what.

Adding only the command for lossless scaling works however, it's just when trying to use the fgmod launch command.

I did have the same problem with Cyberpunk 2077 if it was added directly through heroic, however the problem went away when just adding the .exe into steam instead (it's a gog owned game, and this doesn't work for me on Hogwarts since it's an epic game).

So anyone know what to do here? There's other Epic games I want to experiment with aswell so any help on this would be much appreciated.

I can stream no worries whatsoever it just works but if my monitor on my PC is in sleep but my PC is still running i just get an error that Moonlight can't find a monitor and this goes away when i physically go to my PC to jiggle the mouse or whatever to wake up the monitor.

Is there any way to wakeup my monitor through Moonlight or something? Feels like i've looked through every setting there is but i can't find anything.

I've seen solutions that i can buy dummyplugs so i can run it like that and sure i could absolutely do that but it feels like an unnecessary cost.

I'm running Moonlight on my Steamdeck and Sunshine on my main PC which is running Nobara Linux.
