Has anyone managed to get Playstation Plus streaming working on the deck recently? I've seen posts/articles saying it's possible, but I've not been able to get it to actually work.

After installing the ps plus app, downloading the missing dll, and launching via proton experimental, I just get an error when I reach the sign in page.

Has anyone else encountered this, and managed to get passed it?

Edit: to clarify, I'm talking about cloud streaming. For remote play, I use Chiaki

Edit 2: I tried again and it just worked. I have no idea why. Guess I just needed to ask about it here for it to magically start working ๐Ÿ˜‚

I never used the PlayStation app, but the app 'Chiaki' worked well enough for me with my ps4 and 5.

That's just for remote play. I was talking about cloud streaming, but I didn't make that very clear ๐Ÿ˜…

I have it working through a program called Chiaki which is much easier to set up than what you described. Please give it a try! You should be able to install it via desktop mode, using the Deck's built-in package manager.

Ah, that's for remote play. I meant cloud streaming. Should have made that clearer! I do use Chiaki though, it's great!

whats the error youre getting at sign in?

[โ€“] theOneTrueSpoon@feddit.uk 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It was "The connection to the server timed out". But I just tried it again now, and it worked no problem ๐Ÿ˜…

as a software engineer .. yeah. Stuff is always broken until you show someone else. and then it works!

good news for you, have fun!

Thank you! And I'm a software engineer too, so I feel that pain ๐Ÿ˜‚
