I've played via google desktop, webex and gotomeeting before, and it's not really worth the hassle.

We just happen to enjoy licking the bowl, even if there are raw eggs that might cause some issues from time to time. I don't know, there's so much that is not yet in the game, I'd prefer that progress be made there, rather than time being taken away to do some side project.Īsking for steam link now is like asking for whipped cream on your pie or cake, which happens to still be in the mixer and not yet half baked. So if you have experience with remote play on DF, over RDP or Steam Link, add your comments here and let's see if we can make this happen. As most of that work is already planned I can hope that someone will pick up on this and bring it to the attention of Tarn. DF with a GUI and some small modifications, like rebinding the ESC key, etc, would do it. Steam Link would be a great way to epxand the playability of DF. Also you can rejoin a game in progress, if you disconnect and reconnect you have to load an additional copy of DF to continue. Android doesn't have an ESC key for example and you can't resize windows from Steam Link. In order for DF to play over steam link, it needs a few tweaks that are at present not possible. It somewhat standardises the experience with Bluetooth controllers and keyboards and mice. Steam Link provides a lower-latency connection from a device like a phone to your home PC without the need to mess with your router and assign port forwarding etc. Tarn basically said that he doesn't know anything about Steam Link or what would be needed in order to make it work.

Which would allow players to keep their fortresses on their powerful home PC's but play DF on their phones and tablets while on the move! I recently submitted a question to Tarn concerning if he will provide any support for Steam DF over Steam Link.
