Chariot Specific Steam Streaming Issue

[The Brain]

While steam streaming Chariot, it will randomly bring up the game menu, even during cut scenes occasionally, they act like they're locked up when that happens. I'm using two controllers and it doesn't appear to be a button combination on the controllers. It's almost like I'm constantly pressing start or the start button is being triggered. Once I click on the screen with the computer mouse I can get out of the menu. Otherwise, it keeps coming up when I attempt to get out of it, it doesn't lock up like the Chariot support forums mention. Sometimes it's also like the streaming window is losing focus. It appears to be on the client side but I was able to click on the server side and the menu closed correctly from the client side after clicking the screen on the server side. I don't see this behavior while playing the game locally andI haven't seen this behavior in other games while streaming. Has anyone else had this issue?

I've had it, same exact issue but not when streaming. I have also been using 2 controllers and sometimes just randomly the game goes to main menu, and I can't remove it unless I use my mouse key. Also sometimes game just gets locked

That's exactly it! Sometimes during the little intro level cutscenese or at the store it will appear to freeze. The only way I've found to fix it is going to the host computer, hitting alt tab to go out and go in of Chariot, and the game unpauses like nothing happened. It's good to know it isn't just Steam streaming because that complicates things.

I've tested Chariot with Moonlight using Nvidia's streaming and it only happened once out of a 2 hour play session, the only difference doing it that way is my host screen falls asleep and the game pauses. To fix I have to move the mouse and resume the game, luckily it resumes correctly this way.

Thanks guys for this valuable information. We had not encountered this issue while testing the game. We'll take a look at it.

In the meantime, I hope this doesn't ruin your experience of Chariot!

Thanks for the feedback! Using Moonlight is pretty stable fortunately. It's been fun so far.

Hello again The Brain,

We're looking into the Steam Streaming issue you're reporting. The tech team asks: Is it streaming on the Web or local Stream? Steam allows the two.

It'll help us in figuring out the problem.

Thanks a lot for your help,

It's a local LAN stream.

I'm having this issue as well. Streaming over LAN and using two XBox controllers. After about 10 minutes the pause menu would repeatedly open while in a level until we quit the game.

Just tested Chariot today and it looks like this issue is resolved. I'm not sure if it was a Steam streaming update or a Chariot update. Thanks either way!
