Lego Batman 3 crashing on launch

[tarasis]

I've just got my Steam Link and going through trying some games in my library and one outside the library. At the moment I'm using a Xbox 360 controller (wired) for navigation and control though I'm planing on ordering a Steam Controller (probably should have done it at the same time)

Anyway, while I can play Lego Marvel Super Heros, Lego Batman 3 is crashing on launching. (although I can start it fine on the PC itself). Any tips for debugging?

I also tried FIFA 15 from origin but I only get a white screen and game audio.

I just tried this and it worked fine here. We just fixed a crash with some D3D 11.1 games, can you try the latest Steam Beta client?

Will do, cheers!

Still does it on latest client beta and apprently also crashes immeditately to the desktop too.

For it to work I need to explicitly run LEGOBatman3_DX11.exe from Explorer, rather than using "Play" in Steam (explicitly running LEGOBatman3.exe from Explorer crashes)

I switched the game to D3D9 and it still works fine here. Does it only crash while streaming, or does it crash when playing locally as well?

Seems to crash when Streaming or running Locally. It had worked previously locally (last week was when I last ran it locally).

Okay some further testing:

Checked the Registry setting for the game (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LBM3) and it was set for DirectX 11.

I changed it to DirectX 9 and was able to run Lego Batman 3 in DirectX 9 mode locally and via the Steam Link.

Setting the DirectX version to 11 again via the in game options caused the game to crash again on the next start.

HOWEVER if I ran the LegoBatman3_DX11.exe directly (via Explorer locally, or using Steam Link to click on a shortcut I pined to the task bar) it worked both locally and via Steam Link.

If I add the LegoBatman3_DX11.exe to my steam library as a non-steam exe and run it, Steam instead runs the default LegoBatman3.exe and promptly crashes.
