Anyone got this to work between a linux host and a steamdeck?
I am using the arch package of steam on the host, I opened the necessary ports, but I can’t get the two to download from each other (just to be safe I completely disabled the firewall on both devices and tested, doesn’t work).
Steam’s remote connection logs mention receiveing broadcast from the other device and when I start the download, the server briefly starts saying “hosting local file transfer” in its downloads page but stays in 0% a little while and disappears.
Yeah steamplay works so the devices can communicate. That might be it, not sure. I have about twice the local transfer speed of my internet connection. If its trying to be smart, its wrong. Unfortunately, steam doesn’t tell you why its not working.
make sure you change the setting on both systems to allows transfer to anybody instead of only me that’s how i got it to work.
For me, the unsuccessful attemp only happens when I configure them to transfer with anyone too. Its still unsuccessful but at least something starts then.
