Check the "Checking overlay latencies" part of this guide to learn more about how to resolve this Yellow hardware warning (The host's resolution or FPS is too high for your hardware to keep up): This will show up whenever Parsec sees that the client computer's latency (the "decode" latency) is way too high, where it is not able to keep up with the stream in time.If it does not, refer to the other tips given by this guide in the "Checking network reliability" part further below It is possible that simply lowering the bandwidth limit in the host computer's Parsec settings, or switching to 5ghz Wi-Fi or ethernet resolves the issue. Yellow network warning (You are having network performance issues): This will show up whenever Parsec notices significant packet loss and network congestion.

To resolve this, check our separate guide about the software encoding warning Red encoding warning (The host is using software encoding): This will pop up whenever the host computer cannot start the stream with a fast hardware encoder, and Parsec had to use a lower performance software encoder.The person that is connected to a computer is able to see warnings when Parsec detects that the stream is not acting well. This article goes over checking Parsec's latency info and console log for information on why the stream is performing poorly, and some tips to fix it depending on what Parsec shows. And if you're not playing remotely at all, just use Steam Link app on phone instead.The quality and performance of a Parsec stream is very dependent on the network and hardware of the host and the people joining the stream. It's always better to just befriend the other and let him connect. Oh also I don't recommend using "Party" mode on Parsec, unless you intend to play with randoms.

So, my PC was streaming video/audio to my celphone and his computer, and his computer was sending inputs with his joystick, while I was sending input from my phone. A friend of mine used my PC to play a local co-op game, and then I connected using Steam Link app on my phone to my PC and setup a touch joystick to play with him. I just had the craziest setup this weekend (with another game, but whatever): I left my PC online with Steam and Parsec open. Since I haven't ever used vJoy, I don't know if those other steps are needed, but might be. Then you *might* either need to enable Steam controller support for generic joysticks on Steam (for the host) or use Xbox360CE software to make the virtual joystick be recognized as a D-input controller.

If neither of you have a joystick and you don't want to use Steam Link app to play on the phone with touch controls, the last choice would be for any of you to use vJoy (virtual joystick, binding certain keyboard keys to the virtual joystick, just make sure you'll be using different keys than the other "keyboard player" If your friend as a joystick, make sure he presses any joystick key after connecting and before launching the game, and of course, make sure the host is allowing "joystick control" for the client as well.Īs an alternative, you can also use Steam Link celphone app as a joystick (and also to play remotely without Parsec if you desire).

Yes, you need at least one joystick connected to open up the play co-op option.
