Remote Play Together stuck at one frame
EDIT: I fixed my problem so I'm writing this to help others who might be encountering it. The thing you have to do is ask the person whom you are going to host to change their client settings.
Steam > Settings > Remote Play > Enable Advanced Client Options:
Bandwidth limit: Unlimited, Framerate limit: Automatic, Resolution limit: Automatic.
Hardware Decoding: off, HEVC Video: off, Low Latency Networking: off.
That did it for me!


Hello!
I used to do Remote Play Together with my friends from an older laptop with the exact same internet connection. Apart from the occasional lag, we didn't encounter many problems.
Recently, I bought a new desktop with a lot better specs, mentioned below. Ever since, I haven't been able to stream any game to anyone via remote play together, because they would get extremely stuttering audio and the stream would be stuck to one frame. Friends also report that my audio quality in Discord drops tremendously while streaming remote play together. None of that used to happen with the old laptop.
Please help!

Update: I managed to stream through remote play together to another laptop on the same network and the stream was excellent. So I guess it is a network issue, even though in the past it didn't have that problem?

Specs:
AMD Ryzen 5 7600
NVIDIA RTX 4060
16 GB DDR5 RAM
NVMe SSD
Windows 11

Things I've tried:
Clearing Steam download cache
Steam Settings > Remote Play > advanced host options:
change desktop resolution: on/off
dynamically adjust...: on/off
hardware decoding: on/off
low latency networking: on/off
As well as lowering my screen refresh rate from 165 to 60.
If it's related, I have "hardware accelerated GPU scheduling" enabled on Windows 11.

Thanks in advance!

you sure its not a 2-3 pc that now use wifi and not before 1 pc was on cable and remote was on wifi , such things matter , but wer have no clue here how your local network was doing it before then it work with old laptop..

you also have QoS and other know ip traffic management that typical run at pc today.

we know you said its same network then recheck with old laptop and see if this is still true with remote device.
