RemotePlay Not Working

[FerretBomb]

Trying to run this over Steam RemotePlay does not work; the game simply times out, waiting for escalated privileges on the remote system. RDP'ing in to allow the escalation causes RP to properly stream game video after connecting to the active session, but prevents any inputs from being received from the client system.

As a workaround, the Sunshine server and Moonlight client do work, for devices that have Moonlight available, but this really should be fixed to allow native Steam RemotePlay.

Hey, how did you managed to make Sunshine and Moonlight to work with the game?
I'm not getting any imput (No mouse, no keyboard) when using Moonlight.

I connect to the host machine using Desktop (not Steam or the game entry in Moonlight) then start the game through Steam from the Desktop connection. Seems to work around whatever the heck they're doing.

Simply modify the exe in a hex editor to remove its admin rights requirement.

Nah. I'm in no hurry to get banned for using a modified game client.

At least I'd assume that their anticheat does at minimum a checksum on the client executable... but I do have a bad habit of assuming absolute basic competence from people. :b

I can tell you from experience that it does not. I was surprised, as well.

Remote Play using Steam does not work for me, but I managed to get it to work with Sunshine + Moonlight. I had to make both the game and sunshine run as admin.

I was having this issue then I ran BOTH steam Apps (Host and Client computers) as Admin (close steam via task manager, right click Steam app, (Run as Administrator" on both computers), then I opened the game on Host, then was able to connect via link from Client.

Just to confirm, it is the case that a limited (not admin) app can't capture from an elevated (admin) app in Windows, by nature of the security model. There are various workarounds, but running the capturing software as admin is the easiest.
