suddenly having screen tearing with mac in home streaming?

[alenknight]

recently when i'm steam in-home streaming from my nvidia pc... to my mac client (macbook pro 2018 retina with Vega 20 GPU).... I get screen tearing.
i've opted out of all beta programs on both client and server.

when I use gamestream/other apps.... no screen tearing... (I tried moonlight to stream steam ... works without screen tearing).

when I switch to windows... and stream... no screen tearing using steam.

when I play games locally on my mac... no screen tearing.

ONLY when I stream using steam in home streaming.
thing is, I prefer steam, as hotkeys work better on my home network and I can get my PC server to record game footage... so kinda need the game to work this way without the screen tearing.

also, the video recorded... no screen tearing. on host. ONLY the screen on the macbook client shows screen tearing.

I am having the same issue on macOS only. I've streamed from my MacBook for the longest time, but as of a few days ago I'm getting a super obvious tear across the bottom 1/5 of the screen in any game. Wonder if there was a security update or something recently that is causing this issue all of a sudden.

I'm on a mid 2015 MacBook Pro, Mojave 10.14.5, Radeon R9 M370X

I'm seeing exactly the same with the latest Steam update, tearing across the bottom of the screen, regardless of the game's VSYNC setting. Also, reliability issues attempting to stream from the PC, sometimes it connects to the PC, sometimes it doesn't. Worked fine for months prior to this update. Radeon Pro 560, macOS Mojave 10.14.5.

Any solution to the screen tearing issue? The game isn't tearing on the host side, only during the stream to the client. It would be nice to force vsync on the client side, as doing it on the host doesn't do anything to solve it.

As for the connection issue, I've gotten better luck connecting if you set the host to manually accept the two ports steam uses. Older versions of steam (like may 2019 and before), it was never an issue. The steam staff did something on how it handled the ports, so now the app isn't connecting properly during initiation of the stream.

This is not a bug with AMD drivers either, as I'm having this with Intel integrated 630 (was just fine before the steam update).

Having the same issue with tearing at the bottom of the screen. Any word if Valve knows about this?

Also seeing this in macos. Latest version of steam doesn’t tear, but screen syncing is terrible, definitely not displaying full 60fps correctly. Tried changing steaming options, with no luck.

yeah it's still occuring.... steam on mac is just not stable. annoying cause the ios version... ipad pro and iphone xs/x/11pro... all work GREAT.

Glad I'm not the only one, it's also terrible on Mac for me but great on iOS from a a Windows host.
