Remote Play/Home Streaming?

[mavhuntrx]

Has anyone been able to get this working via home streaming? Was hoping to play this on the TV but it keeps crashing on startup.

I switched to using Moonlight (which has a Steam Link build now) for this. Regular Steam Remote Play crashes indeed

Remote play works fine for me on pretty much any game I ever tried except this one. Crashes with an error message for me.

Yea same for me too. After dealing with that and several other random crashes I decided to refund it.

me too. can't play on my samsung tv via steam app whereas no problem with another games.
Could be great to fix this please

I am having the same issue. I first bought the game through rockstar and it had the same streaming issue...still awaiting refund. So i bought through steam thinking it would resolve the issue. Works fine on the host pc but when i start the game through steam big picture on my den tv it locks up. I can hear the sound running in the background but its just a black screen. If i alt tab out i see the picture but as soon as i alt tab back to the game it locks up sound still running in the background. I also get what i can only describe as a wifi symbol in my lower right corner of my screen. Its not a wifi because i use a wired connection to stream remote play. I think it has something to do with the mouse crashing it or freezing it up. A fix will be greatly appreciated if anyone can offer a solution or workaround. Definitely a steamlink app/game conflict somewhere.

Yes i saw that post and it didn't work for me. I used to use the steam link but switched to the nvidia shield since it offered 4k streaming so i stream through that using the steam link app. Sorry i wasn't clear with that in my previous post.

having this exact issue, none of the fixes I've found so far have worked. I bought this game specifically to play on my big fat ass on my big fat couch, FIX IT ROCKSTAR.

I was able to get it to work. I was running Windows 8.1 which only runs directx11. So i upgraded to Windows 10. Now i have directx12. The reason i tell you this is that steam link in-home streaming and vulcan do not like each other yet. Switch to directx12 in your settings and it will work. Unfortunately the game runs horribly in 4k steaming. Had to cut back to 1080 and still it was almost unplayable. So for now until some of these issues are worked out and some optimization done I have settled to just playing it on my host pc. If this works for you let me know and if you are able to find a way to run in 4k please let me know. 😁

Also the little icon in the bottom right corner is a wifi performance notification in steam link app settings. You need to turn off display performance info in steam link app settings. Ironically im hardwired...no wifi here.

I was following this earlier:

https://lifehacker.com/use-steam-to-stream-your-desktop-instead-of-your-games-1818722875

TL;DR: Add something small to your library, like Notepad. Stream it, hit F1 to go to the help section and you got your host desktop on Steam remote play. From there run Rockstar Games Launcher and Red Dead Redemption 2. To stop streaming, exit the game normally, go to Notepad and close it.
