Any issues with launchers?

[slouken]

Are people still having issues with launchers in the latest beta (dated Jan 24?)
If you are, can you reply to this post with what games you're seeing issues with, and a detailed description of the problem?

Thanks!

These are the ones giving me trouble:

NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 3 Full Burst
Shows the launcher in full screen, but cannot click on "Play" or any other option.

Chivalry Medieval Warfare
Instead of showing the launcher, there is a black screen. If I click around the bottom left of the black screen (where the "play chivalry" button would be if the launcher was showing up) the game launches and I can play.

Audiosurf 2

Game will not go fullscreen even you untick the windowed checkbox. (Not sure if this is game related issue instead)

2nd issue: resizing, maximizing, alt+enter(force fullscreen) will freeze the game. Only happens when streaming

Mouse cursor problem with Rage and The Witcher

The first time you try to stream Bastion in a day I am getting a blank white screen on the receiving end.

I am having trouble closing Assassin's Creed 4. I can launch it just fine, but get a black screen upon exiting from the game. When I view the host, I see Uplay on screen. When I close that and return to the client, all is good.

With borderlands 2 and skyrim I have to click play on the host because I cannot see it properly on the client

I was having issues starting assassins creed 4 and any
Blizzard title via the battle.net app. Granted none of these launchers are integrated in to steam either. I get a remote host couldn't be reached on the client and the launcher chilling on the host. Haven't tried launching via host while on the client end though.

The Battle.net client works for me now, but the EVE Online launcher (non-steam game version) does not.

The launcher starts on the windows host machine, but the debian client machine doesn't start streaming.

It might be unrelated to lauchers but I was able to somehow stream my host computer and use internet and various applications. It happend when I played far cry 3 and outlast. I was basicly using windows 7 on my windows 8.

Batle.net client and Hearthstone will not work for me.
They cannot be launched from Remote Client.

If I launch Hearthstone on the Host computer and then try to stream it the audio works but no window is created and there is no video.

The walking dead does not launch.
Forced hangs on the first screen
Race the Sun and Electronic Super Joy does not recognize my x-box controller

Not a streaming issue (sorry for being off topic) but I had a horrible time getting Borderlands 2 working over the weekend from Big Picture Mode on Windows. I had to add -nolauncher to the start up options because for some reason when the launcher and then splash screen would come up, BPM would stop responding. It was like the changing from BPM to desktop (launcher) to BPM to desktop (splash screen) to full screen game in fairly rapid succession was jacking somethign up. The game would keep running, and it'd launch, but I'd get no Steam/BPM overlay, and no reaction from the Steam Controller.

Setting -nolauncher seemed to have fixed it (there's another idea for SteamOS, a way to add start up options for games) even though the splash screen still pops up before going full screen to the game. I'm sure the -nolauncher switch is game specific. Maybe we can compile a list of games with launchers and how to turn them off in a sticky?

The Walking Dead fails to launch. The host just shows the sparkly blue background for a few seconds then goes back to The Walking Dead play GUI. The client shows the same blue background for a short while then a 'Streaming Client Failed' popup appears.

If I manually launch the game on the host, I can then grab the stream by launching the game on the client. XBox controllers fail to work in that scenario.

Both computers run Win 8 64 bit.

Edit: While searching for fixes to the issue I discovered that disconnecting the XBox controller allowed the game to launch properly. The controller was not enabled in game when reconnecting it.

cant seem to launch assassins creed 4 i can get uplay up fine and the game launches.

but on the client i just get a black screen and the audio only.

then i have to go and shut it off on the host?

Fallout New Vegas shows the splash screen on the remote PC but times out on the local PC.
