They mentioned having a tethering cap, suggesting they likely have free data for downloading files to their phone but not when using it as a hotspot. The main point is to download files to the phone using unlimited data and then transfer them to the ROG Ally. It seems @Squishy Senpai might be better off changing carriers to one that supports unlimited tethering instead of trying fixes.
Absolutely, that clicks now. It seems they’d need a device like a tablet to run Steam games directly, or a service that doesn’t require tethering.
I believe the best approach is to configure a network drive on your home PC and connect remotely. Use that drive to download new games, then transfer the game folders from it to your phone or Ally. Since Steam handles downloading games for you, you can use any version—Steam or another provider—as long as it works. This method ensures access to all games, even if your account doesn’t have permission.
I haven't really thought about that before. I guess I'm just curious—what kinds of games do you enjoy? Do you have places with fast internet where you can play? Have you ever tried Pokémon-type games, or are you into something else like a downloadable light game? If you're not at home often, have you played any Pokémon games online? And what keeps you entertained when you're stuck in traffic?
I'm using a 5G connection from Tmobile, having consumed about 200GB this month. I can still play 4K videos without issues. They haven't slowed me down yet. It seems suitable for downloading and handling heavy traffic when I'm not connected. I'm concerned about performance on the move, since my speed and signal strength differ from mine (100/10 Mbps max). I noticed rural coverage with only 2-3 bars for 5G UC. My experience suggests checking online sign-ups first; if not available, visit a third-party store that carries Tmobile products. They might push more aggressive sales to boost business, even if you're in a less ideal area.
I recall volunteers who possessed extensive game download libraries and would share files with individuals facing data limits. Visiting them, transferring the files to a USB drive, placing them in their Steam folders, and allowing Steam to identify them could help. Checking if the areas you explore have similar networks might be useful.
