It's possible USB3 could be too slow to run the game well, but may be worth a shot since it is less risky than creating another partition. I used to dual boot many years ago, but dual booting is also annoying having to reboot all the time.ĭepending on the game and whether your computer supports USB3 you may want to try installing Mojave to an external USB3 drive and running the game externally. Partitions and volumes are not the same anymore in macOS. If you create another partition then you lose a lot of storage capacity (this doesn't happen if you create another APFS volume alongside Catalina). Sometimes in order to remove the extra partition requires completely erasing the drive and reinstalling or restoring from a backup. Just make sure to always have good verified working backups of your system because modifying partitions and volumes on the drive can lead to an unbootable system or even data loss. Steam is the best thing to happen to non-console, non-mobile gaming in a couple of decades.Installing multiple operating systems to your drive many times leads to problems, but it is a way to run the game. If the resolution of the host display is set in-game to the same as the client, that's that much less work the client has to do. It sounds like as much of the work, including graphical work, as possible should be done on the host. With the new HoloISO project, we are able to install an unofficial build of the OS that runs on the Steam Deck (Steam OS 3). Remember, the client can be a low-performance device, so long as it can sufficiently play the stream, as it doesn't handle rendering the game's graphics. If your game uses a launcher that downloads additional updates, do not complete this step. If Steam finds any corrupt files, it automatically replaces those files. Then, go to the Local Files tab and select Verify Integrity of Game Files.

While it would be feasible to do this on a headless server with a beefy processor and minimal graphical power, you're almost certainly going to get better results if a decent enough GPU is used on the host. In your Steam library, right-click the game and select Properties. Ideally, the hosting machine would need to be powerful enough to play the game and to encode the stream simultaneously. Does the hosting machine need powerful graphics or would a headless Xeon PC server work well? I ask as I am looking at getting one anyway to host opensim and that only being a database doesn't require much in the way of a GPU the graphics being handled by the client viewer.
