I do this a lot too, have a steam link I used to use all the time before my deck. The latency is not noticable on the same network but there's a lot of little things that taint the streaming experience for me, never seems to go smoothly. I'm curious if others have that same experience.
I've mainly had issues with either the controls not getting passed through, or an issue where the frame rate jumps really high (like 2500) then drops and gets stuck around 20 until I force the deck to update the display's framerate.
Once I'm in game things are usually fine but getting it goong can be a headache.
That used to be a problem for me when I had a Steam link in Australia. I have not experienced that issue with the Deck at all. Are you using the Steam streaming service, or something like Moonlight?
A lot of people talk bad about the Steam service, but it has always worked fine for me. I just use Moonlight for things off other services like EA Origin, or for when I want to play some emulation stuff on my PC.
No issues for me on my end, I could just be lucky though!
I'm using the steam service, even for emulated games. I've just added the exe for yuzu (or whatever else I want to stream) as a non-steam game. Sometimes it does just work but the majority of the time I have to fiddle to get it going. It's definitely better than the steam link days though so hopefully it'll keep getting smoother over time.
I would consider moonlight for Yuzu specifically. Has made TOTK on my TV a flawless experience!
TOTK is exactly what I've been using it for recently, I'll definitely give that a shot
Yeah, definitely try it! Setup is a little bit of a pain, but once it is working I have had 0 issues streaming Yuzu to my Deck, plugged into my TV.
