"Stream Launch Failed" - Remote Streaming not working anymore

[Limone]

I do stream to my laptop to play relaxing games via steam remote from my main PC. Yesterday i played Dave the Diver. Today i wanted to do the same.

- Steam is on on both PC's
- I get the message, that my main PC is available to stream from
- Internet is fine
- Restarted both PC's and Internet
- The correct device is chosen to stream from

I always get the message "Stream Launch Failed. Unable to launch stream."
I don't know how to fix this. The last days were totally fine. I made no updates.

I get the same message when starting the game manually from my main PC and than click Connect on my laptop. Same message when trying to launch stream any game.

I would be happy for any help!

I'm getting the same issue, perhaps there is an issue on steam's side. Unless someone else can chime in with a fix, we may just need to wait.

Edit: I should note that I have tried everything you have, as well as checking for updates on both clients, but I can't restart any internet devices in my current living situation.

hmmm still WIFI, try reboot own router just incase this could help then pc then wan line is up and try again.

yes it look stupid, but fact is old advice in the book with router that somehow got a issue with something. ( i doubt it work , try see it as a ruleout its not that. )

steam beta and family share issue.
is ti actual your bought game, and yes that why we ask.

many steam post with steam beta and Family share atm.


ps.
other crasy idea turn of other pc , to make sure all bandwide is for main pc and wifi devicer only, just incase this is now a to narrow bandwide issue.

dont forget we have no clue if you have many pc that use all wifi band. or other device in the house/flat.

and try saty next to wifi router just incase this matter.

this menas pc to wifi and to your device most have a clear path to each other. more a reduce issue with it explanations of the many issue with it.

Nothing of this fixes my problem.

Still will be seen as your local issue, feel free to ask steam support.

Also chiming in here.
Same issue within last 48h, was streaming various titles from one PC to laptop, overnight issue started.

ok, managed a fix thanks to r/steamdeck
one of my computers (pc that was hosting) was on a beta version of the steam client. Changing to no beta fixed this for me.

currently, the way to check this setting is in steam, Settings > Interface > Client beta Participation. make sure "No beta chosen" is selected.

hope this helped and works for you!

This did the trick! Though I went the other direction as my host PC is on beta and my client was not, so updating the client side to beta also works.

Remote play used to work before experiencing this exact same error. Disabled beta as per Izzrar's post and it works. Clearly a bug in the steam beta (I installed the beta a long time ago to fix a different bug).

I am trying this fix, neither of my windows laptops have beta chosen. Still stream fail everytime

[Ghost]

Same as dieSLO, I have tried everything and it is still not working.

[tomohawk123]

I was having the same issue as dieSLO

swapping both computers to the beta version of steam client fixed it
seems to be an issue with the current steam client version

Had this for a week, but at least you get to a screen, my Steam wont open up end of, e.g. not even to the log in screen.

As per, nothing seems to being done about it.

Is there an actual fix for this? Steam link used to work perfectly fine between my client and server but just gone to try today after a holiday and now not able to launch streams. I have restarted the client and server PCs (which are wired connections so no issues with WiFi) and checked the above beta client setting and both set to "no participation" yet still unable to stream all of a sudden.
Something has changed by Steam which has broken this functionality but nothing seen online that works to fix it

I also have the same issue. Unfortunately, this is the first time I'm even trying to use Steam Link to play, so I don't even know what it's supposed to look like when it actually works. I've verified that both my main computer and my laptop have 'No Beta chosen", but that hasn't changed the error message at all.
