Black Screen android

[laurie206]

Stream host = Steam Deck.
Steam link client = android 11 device.

I can navigate the steam menu (can only see this via the steam deck screen) and I can hear audio, however I cannot see anything at all but black and the option to hold back in order to open the steam link menu.

Anyone having this issue and know how to fix it?

Steam deck is on the latest update 3.5.17.

Steam link version: 1.3.9.258


Thanks

stop streaming and try again

on client
link menu -> settings -> advanced
look for audio, video, control and make sure they are all ticked

you can set the client to not stream video, audio and just use it as control, or any mix of them

Thanks for reply, I don't get any of those options on android, when I got to regular settings there's no advanced button on the client, I just get to customise and most settings are on automatic by default.

So, I am hosting from a Linux PC and trying to stream to an Android 10, it seems to be the same situation as yours. The steam launcher interface does not shows up on the client, but as soon as I launch a game it does streams to my phone.

So you can try to check if launching the game from the host while the android client is streaming works.

I had a similar issue streaming Red Dead Redemption 2, I could see the steam menus and hear the audio, but the picture from the game was black.

Changing the renderer in rdr2 from vulkan to directx 12 fixed it.
