Are Non-steam games available to play on Remote Play Together?

[P. Sebs]

I can't seem to try it out with some fighting games from GOG.

You can always use Parsec if you can't wait or if they don't add non-steam games i guess, being able to do it using steam would really make things simpler tho.

You can't host with Parsec on Linux, only Windows hosting is supported.

Thought this would work as parsec.. Such a waste of time developing this when we can't use it for all games. Please allow non steam games or at least let us share our desktop so we can play old games together!

Does parsec allow to stream all games? i want to stream call of duty ww2 which was supposed to be supported by steam play but you see steam only includes the single player exe and not the multiplayer one.

I haven't tried parsec but you should be able to play any game from the host computer.

I hope they can provide us with more information so we know why only certain games got this feature and if they will change this in a future update.

I see, thanks a lot.

Just posting to say I hope you guys add this also. I was imagining being able to play any game with a friend, be it on PS1 or PS2 emulators or not. Would be a game changer to have this integration in Steam!

It would be great to have for emulators or splitscreen games not in steam.

[GuRu Asaki]

This only works with Games that have Split Screen Available, or
that work great over a Console Multi-Player Experience on the Couch...

Type thing... But you know through a PC instead of Console...

If you can't do this with Games outside of STEAM or a specific Game,
there are other ways to do this...

But some of them are more un-safe then others, & then some are
also more Complicated then others...

However, unlike STEAM Remote Play With Friends, these other
Methods will indeed work with any Game you want... o_@

Windows10, has Quick Assist built right into Windows...
Windows10, also has Remote Desktop Connection built right into Windows...

They work 100% the same way that Remote Play With Friends does,
& they've been around for as long as Windows10 has, o_@


Quick Assist Is really simple to use, but it is also unsafe, although it is
probably a heck of a lot better then Remote Play With Friends right now...

However, Remote Desktop Connection is extremely safe, a lot more
configurable then Remote Play With Friends, gives a better experience,
& can also be configured before even starting the Service,but it is also
a bit Complicated to use...

Both of these things can be found under Windows Start Menu,
& listed in the Folder of Windows Accessories...

Another way to go about it, is by trying a website called Team Viewer,
it is a much, much older Program from a long time ago, but I believe
is still around today...

But I dunno if Team Viewer is Safe or Unsafe, you'll have to check
& find out...

Good Luck...

It does work! It is not officially supported but I have tested this on emulators and it works perfectly fine. The current workaround is simply downloading a game that supports this (any f2p game with support will do, I use relic hunters), removing the game data and replacing it with your game and renaming the exe file so it corresponds with the game that you used.

I wish the devs would simply make a launch option or switch to enable this in non-steam games.

The games I have tested this with are CEMU and Dolphin. It does require a restart every now and then to get the controllers detected by cemu but the experience is very enjoyable for both ends and it's imo way better than parsec (in terms of performance and ease of use, simply booting steam and inviting)

Tip: use symbolic links to switch streamed games easily.

This makes no sense, why would you wait for publisher consent for a universally wanted feature?

I suppose its probably a legal thing. So they'd need to write up a new agreement with them that says "Alright if you wanna keep selling on steam you need to let us do this with your game"

don't believe its a legal thing at all. It doesn't in any way interact with the game, it interacts with the users computer, just connecting each other and allowing for individual inputs, basically.. its a refined teamviewer in steam. Hence why it doesn't work that well in some games and the lag is bad in some games.. I feel this would be 100% fine to do without publishers enabling it, but the problem comes from the games that aren't positioned to use this, so you have both people controlling the same person since it doesn't detect individual controllers.. only some games do this with the feature.

Can you make a guide for this? I don't quite understand the process of how this would allow steam to recognize it as a game from steam.

The video details how you need to do it.
You download a game on steam that already supports this feature but you wont play. You remove the files in that folder and replace it with what you actually do wanna play and change the name of the exe file to be the removed game. That way steam thinks you launched the that supports the feature and will instead launch the wanted game with the feature enabled.
In the video it shows how its done with 2 games. In my thread I wrote a better 'guide' of how to do it (with source being the reddit thread).
