Can we play a co-op game together with remote play?

Hello,
I am sorry since there is a high possibility of this question being asked here too often but I really couldn't find the answer so here I go:

I own a PS5, can I set the remote play pc app up for my GF who lives away, open up my console and play let's say overcooked together as P1 and P2, while she is using the remote play feature to be the P1 and me using the PS5 as normal? Thank you!

Help with Android TV

I have recently installed PXPlay on my new TV and I’m having some difficulty switching between users on my PS5 when playing via local connection.

My wife and I both want to play. My PSN account is the one registered with PXPlay.

It seems as if the remote connection is making the TV itself controller 1 assigned to my user. I can play on my user when I plug the dual sense in to the TV via USB.

However, when I connect a dual sense wirelessly it is always set as controller 2 which can only be assigned to my wifes user. If I try to assign it to mine so I can play without a wire, the remote connection cuts out.

It also means when my wife is playing on her user we can never get rid of the ‘remote play connected’ banner (due to my user still being logged in).

Anyone any ideas? I just want to sit upstairs, turn the PS5 on by connecting my controlledrand play on my user or be able to switch to my wifes.

Pressing the PlayStation button on my (wired) PS5 brings up Games in my iMac Launchpad.

Just what the title says. It forces me to have to hit ESC in my keyboard when I just want to open the PlayStation quick menu. Idk how I got it set to do this but I’m guessing there’s a setting I need to change.

I can post a video but it’s kids redundant. Or post my settings but idk what to post.

Screen mirror

Wondering if there was any way for me to screen mirror from my phone to a display. The games seem to be drm protected or something as it doesn't show up there. I have a PC but I dont want to move it and I sometimes want to play in my bedroom. I have tried HDMI and that didn't work, and I don't have an extra chromecast lying around

My PS4 can't use remote play at all

When the PS4 is in rest mode it won't turn on when I try to connect through the Android app with mobile data. It also won't start downloading games I download from PS App.

The console has all the rest mode features turned on and I'm almost sure the router settings are not the problem because all the problems from above will disappear when the PS4 is on a wifi connection or when connected through ethernet BUT the IP settings are set to automatic. If I set manually the IP settings, even if I copy the same IP settings auto connection gives, it won't work at all.

This means I can't download games to my PS4 while I am at work or start a remote play session until I get home.

This is very frustrating as I exclusively use a wired connection with static IP and DMZ turned on and it's exhausting to have to switch to wifi every time before entering rest mode.

Does anyone have this problem? Thanks in advance.

Input Lag fix

I get a lot of input lag playing on mobile data on my phone. I usually play at my hs in my free periods. I get full bars of 5g, at most 100 ms ping (avg 50 to 70). 200 to 400 mbps. I use a ps controller (the one that came with my ps) on bluetooth. Should i try using usb cable (i usually dont get that much lag if im playing a multiplayer game directly on my phone) or should i try anything different.

My school does have wifi- but they blocked psn from what ik and my vpn doesnt work around it. Anyone know of a vpn (preferably free) that can unblock it so i can play remote play?

Which app works better for Android?

I've heard great things about chiaki over the actual PS remote play app, and the ability to use third party controllers. Is the app chiaki-up the app or is there one I have to get from an actual developers website as an APK? Or is it just better and safer to stick to the Sony app itself? I guess I'm also concerned about security over speed

PS5 Remote Play on Macbook Air M2 lagging

Hey guys,

Did you found a fix for Macbook M2 - Sequoia OS? I've tested remote play on Sonoma as well and it's lagging big time. Including the audio is chopping. I want to mention that my console is wired to LAN and I have Gigabit. I've tested the connection and I get 970MB/s speed but when I turn on remote play on my local Wi-FI it's lagging so much that it's not playable. Any fixes would be appreciated.

Chiaki "credentials expired"?

I've been using for many months Chiaki4Deck flawlessly but since last night, I got a message saying "credentials expired" but don't know what to do.

When I boot up the PS5 while in the same network, it recognizes the PS5 without a problem. But while outside the same network, it's like if I don't have any console registered.

Would love some help on this, please!

Does my PS5 need to be updated to initiate remote play?

I want to keep the auto system update in rest mode off but if I'm away and an update is released, will there be no way for remote play to start? I know other network features are inaccessible unless the console is updated

Sticks lag with some games?

Are you experiencing any input lag just with some games and not others, and ONLY with the sticks?

I have no problem playing Armored Core 6 with a speed build, but as I play TLOU Remake I sense a huge lag when I look around or I move (and ONLY with those, menu and actions are ok)

Microphone doesn't work

Hi. I've seen a few videos covering this subject but none for the hardware I use. I'm trying to play PS4 remote play on my phone and on my PS Vita and the microphone on my headphones doesn't work on neither one wether I connect it to the phone, the PS4 controller or the PS Vita. The headphones and the microphone in it are working just fine on their own, so the problem is something to remote play. Can anyone help me on this?

PS5 remote play not working from iPad on mobile data

I moved to the UK and my remote play was working fine but about a week ago it stopped connecting and I get 1 of 3 errors being:

  1. 8801330d
  2. 8801330f
  3. “Can’t find your ps5”

I don’t know why this happened, on the exact same setup which is iPhone 5g mobile data to my iPad worked well and now I get these errors

Also when I check the NAT type in the remote play app I get an error it says Failed(0x8801E1E2)

Any fixes would be appreciated, I’ll try port forwarding tonight although I’ve been playing without it for months.

Edit: Found a fix, Using static ip on surfshark vpn seemed to fix the NAT type and I’m now able to connect, port forwarding didn’t work but I’m not going to remove it in case I’ll need it in the future

Remote play auto-sign in bug.

Does anyone else have an issue where remote play automatically signs in, but it assigns you as a second controller? It's a bit frustrating because it assigns me as player 2 so I can't even play anything because there's no controller response (Needs player 1)

Portal vs ROG ally

So, I have ROG ally and I can remote play normally using its built-in control, so it is like a portal without haptic feedback. Anyone have the chance to test both the ally and portal? How good is the portal compared to using the Ally, considering I am playing in the same network. I'm planning to buy a portal, but a bit skeptical since my house use wifi 6, Ally support wifi 6 while portal use wifi 5 only. The game I play usually need timing for parry like stellar blade or FF VII rebirth

Chiaki-ng render present input latency?

How do the various Chiaki-NG render presents affect input latency (fast, default, high quality)? Fast looks "ok" but seems to have lower latency. Lowering resolution makes minimal difference. My main test has been using the kicking meter in NCAA 25 where I'm always late but a similar amount using default and high but I'm trying to figure out if changing this setting is the setting that is affecting my lag. I have tried with the HDMI plugged and unpluged from my console as well. I'm on a 5GZ home network with good speeds and stability.

Remote Play Connection Message Not Disappearing

Hi everyone,

Since the last update in October, I’ve been experiencing an issue where the "Remote Play connected" message won’t disappear from my screen. I’m connected via cable and have a stable internet connection. I’ve also restarted my PlayStation and checked for updates, and the system is up to date.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? If you managed to fix it, could you please share how you did it? I’ve tried the usual method of changing the language settings, but that didn’t work for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Poor connection despite good download speed

I have been having poor connection when using remote play. I just checked my internet speed and had 30+ Mb/s for download speed. My upload speed isn't great however. I'm lucky if I get 1-2 mb/s upload. Would poor upload speed cause poor video quality and constant disconnections? Anything I can do to improve the quality of remote play?

I am working on getting chiaki set up to use remote play going forward but am worried I have to set it up myself locally, which will not be possible as I won't be able to until sometime next year.

Won't connect through cellular.

Recently got a ps5 and use remoteplay at my house a lot while I'm in the other rooms or if the TV is being used by someone else. I have made changes in the router to NAT type 2 and allow all the required ports and even set the playstation as highest priority.

I want to be able to connect to playstation while I travel and almost everytime I tried, it failed due to "slow connection speeds" while I'm getting 350Mbps on my cellular. Even my playstation is connected to a 150Mbps WiFi at home. I am not sure what's slow here.

Setting up Chiaki on MacBook

I have been having trouble with my connection to my PS5 on remote play and have heard using Chiaki will help. I am unsure of which on is compatible with the 2021 MacBook and the current Mac OS. Anyone know which one works? I could probably use some help getting it set up as well.

Ps remote play

I am wanting to live stream on Tiktok from my PC I have tiktok Live studio and PS remote play. When I open and try to connect PS remote play it always disconnects or tells me that my internet is different and it's not.

  • When I use steam and play on my pc or play from my ps4 its very glitchy, what could fix this?
  • Is there other options out there that would make streaming or playing from my ps4 better.
