Bread & Fred [DEMO]: Improved Steam Remote Play Quality Mod.

My girlfriend and I wanted to play Bread & Fred together using steam remote play. However our combined internet isn’t the best for streaming, so at times the remote play quality suffers. I don’t know too much about the way steam streams remote play, but I do know that typically bitrate drops with movement in video. I figured that the intense snowfall probably isn’t good for the bitrate, so I decided to create a mod that disables it. We haven’t had a chance to test it properly, so I don’t know the exact quality gain if any, but in theory it should help? Note: This mod was made for the Bread & Fred DEMO and has not been tested and will likely not work with the full release.

I figured I would release it in case other people are suffering from bad remote play quality, in hopes that it’ll help someone. The snow can also be a little annoying, so if anyone just wants to remove it, you can use this.

I don’t think there’ll be a performance increase FPS wise. It’s hard to tell since I don’t exactly have performance issues with the game, but if you’re trying to increase your FPS, give it a shot and let me know if it works. In theory it shouldn’t do much because the particles are still there but just transparent. I think it depends on how they’re rendered, and I don’t know much about Unity and the way it does rendering, shaders, and particle systems. The downside of removing the snow, is that it kind of ruins the atmosphere, but I suppose sacrifices have to be made.

Here is a before and after picture

The mod works by simply making the snow particles transparent. To use, download the modified assets file below.

Download: sharedassets0.assets

Please note: This file contains game assets and I do not own its contents and neither do you. Distributing this file likely violates SandCastles Studio’s terms and/or copyright. I will promptly remove the download if asked by the creators. Navigate to the Bread&Fred installation folder by either right clicking the game in your steam library and hovering over manage, then clicking the “Browse local files” button, or by navigating to it manually using the file explorer. 

Steam Library: Bread & Fred Demo > Manage > Browse local files

The path should look something like this

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Bread & Fred Demo

Now open the “Bread&Fred_Data” folder. The path should now be something like this:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Bread & Fred Demo\Bread&Fred_Data

In the “Bread&Fred_Data” folder, find the already existing file named “sharedassets0.assets” and create a copy/backup of it. This is important so that you can restore the original assets later. I typically just rename it to something like “sharedassets0.assets.unmodded” After you have created a backup or named the file Drag and drop the modified “sharedassets0.assets” file into the “Bread&Fred_Data” folder. Windows may prompt you to replace it, double check to make sure you have a copy before replacing.

After that the mod should be active, start the game and enjoy the snowfall free experience! To remove the mod, simply delete the modified “sharedassets0.assets” and restore it with the original file that you backed up.

Valve снова исправляет удаленное воспроизведение Steam

Похоже, что удаленное воспроизведение - постоянная проблема, которую Valve приходится исправлять в Steam на ПК и Steam Deck, поскольку в нем всегда что-то ломается, и в последней бета-версии клиента Steam эта функция снова исправлена.

I cannot play with my friend because games are pricey and they don't have that kind of money but steam remote play would fix that

There’s gonna be a Wizard of Legend 2?!

#having online co-op alone would be great #steam's remote play works for wizard of legend but it's not great

I’ll grant I know nothing about gaming pcs and tech specs but like. I don’t class anything that’s $1600 as ‘budget’

#Charlie babbles #I just thought I'd look into it for five minutes because my steam library is large but my play hours are small #so it'd be nice that have. y'know. a desktop that plays games well. #but searching for 'good budget gaming pc' did not give me anything remotely affordable so that's the end of that thought process

[michaels-reality]

they should bring back games that you have to crowd around the family computer for and you have to share one singular keyboard. No I don't want to connect a controller to add player two to a game, I want to sit shoulder to shoulder with someone on the same chair and blame them for taking up all the space on the keyboard when I mess up

#blah blah ramblings #also for remote play reasons on steam cus my friends can't connect a controller to their pc and i wanna play games with them #i'm a keyboard player i can't give up my keyboard #just let me crown the fuck out of it 😭

[godofmagnets]

i gtink KEL OMORI and Axl Mega Man X have the exact same vibes. what do you think

this is really insightful and

i don't know how or why but i think you are VERY right

#i have played all the mainline mega man games like several times over #but have yet to beat the first mega man x #steam wouldnt let me map the controls so i never got comfortable with it i guess #now that i have a remote maybe i should try again #anyway visually Axl reminds me of sho from mob psycho #maybe its the spiky hair lmao #ask #asks

[axiolotl]

still in bed at 8:40 and i could legit comfortably sleep for another 2 hrs.....why must i go to work

#ellis.txt #im gonna try downloading steam onto my work pc #or at least steam remote play

My best friend, who I have not seen in a while, gifted me a gamepad because she knows I have a gaming pc but I do not know how to play on a pc (not that I excel with a gamepad but it's better), basically I play every six months and I suck at it 💀

Also the screen is too small for my bad eyesight so I'm gonna play on my TV via hdmi cable with a gamepad. So basically I'll be playing the same way than if I had a playstation but for so much cheaper lmao

#misc #not to mention games on steam are wayyyyyy less expensive #so anyway #do i play the Witcher or DAI first? #both games i didn't finish before we left our flat share because her playstation had a bug and lost all saved games #i also want to play stray and elden ring but they are too expensive #when i already own the two games #actually i tried playing the Witcher #and it's what convinced me that i will never be able to play on pc #the irony of all this is that my job involves typing on keyboard the whole day lmfao #i once upon a time wanted to buy the ps5 but I gave up sony is a scam #beside my tv is old so it wouldn't be that interesting #and I still don't know how the ethernet works in that goddamn flat #i mean there is a hole #and i connected my internet box but it does not work #throwback to when i remotely worked and had the cable directly connected to my box leading to a booby trap between my desk and my bathroom #and a cool parkour for my cat #anyway the wifi is good so i don't really care #but back to the pc #i finally found that hdmi cable i was looking for months #found it being very visible when not looking for it #anyway shut up Amanda #i really want to make a new inquisitor though 🥺
