Contact Moonlight Game Streaming Support

by AquariusBat

I just wanted to play games (from Steam) more comfortably than just sitting up at my laptop for hours; which will just make my back sore.

After hearing so much praise for this app, I thought I finally found an app that’ll would actually work and stream from my laptop (which has my games) to my phone. Of course it wouldn’t work because it’s only designed for people who have this graphics card or whatever…thanks for nothing and getting my hopes up I guess…

App opens up and basically doesn’t do anything…

Games run really well while streaming on my iPhone. However, the stream is interrupted every 10 to 15 min or so with a “slow connection issue” and it sours my experience. In fact I have opted not to use this app until this is fixed.

I have another device that I use to run Moonlight on and all runs perfectly…and it’s a hacked nintendo switch (which is a port program) I run both my phone and switch on the same network and my switch beats out my phone every single time in the area of stream stability. Leads me to conclude that there is either something in this app or something about IOS devices that needs to be re-evaluated.

I’ve tried disabling my Bluetooth and location services on my iPhone to help but it doesn’t seem to work.

Please advise or fix :)

It’s a Great App!!! I just wish these problems were resolved.

This is an awesome app for when you don’t feel like getting out of bed to play some PC games, but it could be better. For instance, the controls are very restricted. It’s either NO controls (you move your finger around to move the cursor), SIMPLE controls (just 6 buttons, in the RB LB configuration, seen on the top of controllers, plus two other buttons), and FULL controls (freaking PS D pad, shoulder buttons and bumpers, TWO thumb sticks, an XYAB button configuration, and start/select near the bottom edges). In my opinion, it’s either not enough or WAY TOO MUCH, as in a lot of cases only need two thumb sticks, XYAB, and start/select (ok, maybe the bumpers and shoulder buttons). The rest is just covered up screen space. Please add an option to set custom button layouts and sizes, and to choose what buttons you need. It would greatly increase the usefulness of this app. Other than that, that’s pretty much the only complaint I have. It’s responsive, but I probably wouldn’t use it for FPSes, and tweakable bitrates from 0.5 mbps to 50 mbps (default 10 on 720p, 20 on 1080p), and framerates either 30 Hz or 60 Hz. I would recommend 20 Mbps at 1080p 60Hz, but you could go for a lower setting. Overall pretty OK app, let down by the controls.

By the way, it works pretty well on my laptop:
Inspiron 15 i5577
i5 7th gen 3500hq
GTX 1050
8 GB ram
2.4 GHz 20 MBPS down / 5 MBPS up
Although you probably want 5 GHz.
