can we no longer use Remote Play on non-steam games?

[dead]

I can no longer stream non-steam games it just shows game with a grayed out install button instead streaming button is this bug?

[mutecipher]

If you're running the latest Beta I believe it's a bug. I have the same thing from the new library, but I'm still able to stream from BPM.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what is this "BPM" to which you refer?

Big Picture Mode.

[DizzieDawgie]

Cheers! I can confirm that using Big Picture Mode allowed me to use Remote Play on a non-Steam game with the new beta.

Not sure if you still need this, but I find that the remote play works with anything I throw at it unless it involves multiple .exe's or multiple windows.

Broken for me, too, and Big Picture Mode doesn't help. I'm trying to stream from my gaming PC (Windows 10) to my Mac laptop (OS X 10.14.6), and notepad.exe won't stream (I use it to access the full desktop and get to other launchers/games).

They must have broken it in the transition from in-home streaming to remote play... and no one at valve noticed or cared. Steam Link hardware (discontinued) and mobile apps still gets you to non-steam-game/game-in-progress last I checked. That's "progress" for you. There is a bug report on it somewhere deep in the forums.

Kind of a problem with forum reports. They get burried...

Ditto. I am having this same problem as well. I used to run Diablo 3 on another computer and stream to my laptop while laying down and just found out today it is no longer working but was fine not that long ago.
Any sort of work around?

In other threads people are talking about deleting a steam game's files and replacing the exe with ...another game? a way to get to desktop? I forget. Too much work. Waiting for valve to change their mind.

You could use Parsec. I tried it and it works. (from memory) Download and install for both systems, create a login and confirm email, log in on both, change settings->hosting->(scroll down)approved apps to off, on client/laptop go to "computers" and you should see your desktop/host, click connect and you got remote desktop. load diablo.

There is a way to solve this, even for GOG-games, but it takes a bit of tweaking, if you just want to play a non-remote play with remote play you can fool Steam using this guide:

If you want to use remote play with a GOG game and still get the GOG achievements you need to tweak this further, you cant just replace the app with a shortcut since steam will recognise the change and redownload the original app, you need an .exe that launches the gog game through gog galaxy:

Create a .bat file with the command to launch the GOG-game through GOG Galaxy (only tested with the 1.2 version), the below string launches Thronebreaker through Galaxy, change paths and GameID to match your game.

@start "" cmd /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\GalaxyClient.exe" /command=RunGame /gameID=1297352383 /path="C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Thronebreaker"" && exit

Download a bat 2 exe converter (I used https://www.battoexeconverter.com)

Import the bat file (drag and drop, or just write the commands directly into the converter)
Save the generated .exe, rename it to match the application name of the steam game you want to use and drop it in place.

Add -primary and -fullscreen as launch options in gog (may not be necessary, reason why i only tested with 1.2)

Using this technique i can now stream Thronebreaker through GOG and Steam remote play from my gaming rig to my MBP Laptop!
