Isn’t Beat Saber standalone? I’ve only been playing standalone games, tethered to a power outlet. A battery pack should also work.
Comment on [Frame] Does anybody else have issues with streaming after yesterday's beta update to the Frame?

It’s pretty awful now. My gf was trying out Beat Saber streamed from her PC for the first time and she said that it was absolutely awful with artifacts all over. I then spent some time troubleshooting it since I “knew” that it worked well for me just yesterday but when I tried playing Blade & Sorcery today I saw what she meant. Absolutely unplayable with the streamed dashboard jittering around and the stream turning into mush and the camera was jumping all over the place.
USB dongle was quite similar experience and the Wi-Fi7 AP I have next to the play space has 6GHz band.

Sure it is. Modded works but not the most intense stuff. It’s enough for me since I’m pretty much at the Expert - Expert+ level but my gf is somewhere around Expert+++. She also really wants to play some of the extended experiences from time to time and the loading times are not up to her standard.

It is, and it plays great. It’s also really good for stream testing, ez to get into and see/listen for issues.
Wish I knew how modded BS runs on the standalone frame, I recall there being some visually intense tracks people made that were wicked fun

Since your router also runs on the 6GHz band make sure the channels the dongle and the router use are far enough apart. Other than that, did you install an update on the beta channel around Friday? That’s when my issues started.

Oh sure there’s some concrete between and I don’t keep it plugged in. I doubt there’s really any issue on the network itself as I’m measuring very low ping and fast transfers between machines. It probably updated around Friday but I didn’t use it until the moment in my previous comment.

Sounds like we indeed got a borked update then, let’s hope they’ll get it fixed soon. I did some testing yesterday. Before I had the dongle about 1.5m away and to my right but I tried to hang the dongle over my monitor right in front of me and almost within arms reach. That completely eliminated the problem, so it might be some signal strength or packet loss recovery optimisation they borked. I haven’t tried a room-scale game yet to see if that also has issues but I suspect it.
