[BUG] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Multiplayer

[Surogat]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Multiplayer is throwing a stopping DirectX error on the remote machine, where the game actually is installed. My remote machine on which I try to play this game via stream feature is showing no error at all but a black screen.

Can you post a link to a screenshot of the remote computer?

Yes of course: Screenshot

This is german and it means a severe DirectX error occured and that I can find more information for that kind of error in a readme file.

Both Steam clients are running under Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64 bit). On both machines are powerful Nvidia graphic solutions installed. On the remote machine exists a Nvidia GTX 560Ti (448 shaders) and on my notebook exists a Nvidia GTX 760M. Normally I could run this game native on both machines without streaming. But for testing purposes it was the first game I tried out.

Do you get the error if you play the game without streaming?

[Surogat]

No. No error. But after that there is a new dialog of the game to adjust my game setting, because the game doesn't started properly.

I tried out another game. Day of Defeat, it only shows a black screen. I've made a video http://youtu.be/4i3YTMakTwE

Same black screen for Valve games. Half-Life 2 Screenshot -> http://imageshack.com/a/img6/3425/1ggy.jpg

Streaming content of the same Windows 8.1 machine to a OS X 10.9.1 machine is working. Without sound but graphics is working fine. Actually I tried Half-Life 2.

Edit: I think now I know what is the problem. Games will not work if the remote computer, which should run a game to stream it to another computer, is locked (logon screen) or prior a remote session was/is established through "Microsoft Remote Desktop". Steam is trying to create a DirectX surface in the Remote Desktop Session, not in the console session. This should be changed. I have to logon, on my gaming machine to play a game on a remote machine.

Additionally I'm not able to run any game that is installed on my OS X machine. Steam running under Windows 8.1 is timing out although both clients are properly connected. If I start any game in Windows, on both machines (Windows and OS X) a dialog is popping up. Telling me that the game is making an attempt to start. But as I wrote this never worked. If I try to start a Windows game from OS X, this is working fine.
