"Stream" button instead of "Play" button?
Hi! This is very very weird. I googled it and found zero info about this. Tuns out that today, when I wanted to play FTL: Faster Than Light, instead of the usual "Play" button, it said "Stream" instead. It only happens with that particular game. I have never streamed in my life. And hadn't made any changes to my configuration in the recent and not-so-recent past. Anyone knows what this is about? Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Nevermind. It was because I could play from this computer even not having it installed, because my other computer had it installed and had Steam client open. Hope this helps anyone that runs into the same thing.

Indeed, Remote Play. You can disable it in the settings, that'll revert the button to the general Play button.

If I click "stream" does that make that PC the host of the game? Or does the other PC host it if they both have it installed....
