Extremely high brightness for one of my games

[Joip]

ISSUE
The issue started between afternoon March 3rd and afternoon March 4th. When I open Dishonored, the video feed on the iPad is extremely bright, nearly all white except for some small color patches. The same video on the desktop looks fine. I tried a few other games and they were unimpacted.

OS
Windows 10 and iPad Steam Link client

STEPS
Start Dishonored from the iPad Steam Link client

RESULTS
I hear audio, but the video is completely unusable. Nearly entirely white.

EXPECTED
On March 3rd, this was working as expected - normal brightness and useable video.

Debugging attempted
* Tried Beta track of Steam
* Restarted computer
* Restarted iPad
* Changed resolution sizes both in Steam client and in the game
* At one point, when I changed resolution in the game I had a brief flash of the correct gamma.
* Adjusted gamma
* Tried other games (they all worked fine)
* Disabled Steam overlay
* Changed input controller

I am having this issue on the latest steam version with Harry Potter Lego Years 1-4. Extremely bright and washed out, even the steam link menus have the same problem until the game is closed. Tried everything mentioned above and then some, the issue isn't device-specific and the game looks fine on the host.

The same issue with The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 .

UPDATE: suggested workaround to use DXVK works, copied dlls into steamapps\common\The Book of Unwritten Tales 2\Windows\

Same issue. For us, it's that the game has intensely dark contrast instead of the bleach out. Tried streaming to 3 different people on different PCs on remote play and it was the same thing across the board. The game is Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator- 2. My graphics card is AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT. Partner tried hosting instead with the exact same issue on a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070, so doesn't seem to be an AMD specific thing.

EDIT: the DXVK workaround doesn't seem to work in this case unfortunately...

I have the same problem with Shogun 2: Total War. After the latest Steam update everytime I run the game via Remote Play the brightness is extremely high, making it unplayable.
I managed to switch to DX11 via the in-game settings and now it works.

Apparently the latest update messed up something with DX9 like another user said. I hope they can fix it soon.

EDIT: Host PC has a GTX 1650 Super, client PC has Intel HD Graphics.

same for Resident Evil 6, whenever I starts the actual game(the moment you can control your character, cutscenes are normal) with my friend in splitscreen,my friend's screen will go super bright like almost all white but you still can see the cursor, and host's screen is normal which is super weird, and if the host opens menu guest's screen will go normal, and so if the host closes menu it will go white again. why did steam update this masterpiece into a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing

Same Problem since the last Update.
RTX 3080, Game Salt and Sanctuary and brightness problem on Remote Play Client.
Host was OK.
For me it helped yesterday to turn on the NVFBC option in the steam settings / remote play / host options

I have the same problem for The Lego Ninjago Movie. I tried to stream to the Apple TV App, an old Steam Link box and another Steam instance on my laptop, everytime the brightness is way too high. The DXVK workaround did unfortunately also not help. Hope this will be fixed soon.

I had no problems Playing Broken Sword 4 remotely on my Android until the March 4 update of Steam. Now when I try to play it the video is bleached out.

I re installed the old version binaries of Steam from a disk image backup and it works fine until Steam does an automatic update. I can reproduce this bug consistently.

Right now my only work around is to go off line , copy the old binaries and package , start Steam , switch to on line then play the game until Steam is restarted and updates.

Well, pretty much confirmed it was the steam update then

I've had the same issue when trying to play non-steam games on Origin / EA / Epic. This was working fine before last Steam update. I'm using a RPi 4 as the client. Host is Win 10 with R9 390. Host and Client are both wired into my network.

Can confirm this also worked for Towerfall Ascension. I had tried it before and it didn't for whatever reason, but now it did. Thanks

same brightness-issue with some games after the latest steam update, it was fine before. Brightness is only high on the client. Above shared fix worked for Trine 2, i didn't yet try the fix for other games experiencing this issue.

[Apropos]

I'm also having this issue. It's been reported by multiple users since early February in the steam beta forums, although now it's in the public build, too: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/discussions/0/3180106719144088837/

Hello,

I discovered a workaround for Skyrim Legendary Edition, but this might also work for other directx games:
Download the latest version of DXVK[github.com], the file should be 'dxvk-1.10.tar.gz'. [1][2] Extract the archive and move the x32 files 'd3d9.dll' and 'dxgi.dll' into the root directory of your game. [3] You can find the root directory of your game by right clicking the game in your steam client and selecting 'manage' > 'browse local files'. It should have the game executable in the same folder I think.

Awesome thanks for the workaround, can confirm it works for Pillars of Eternity.
