Hello all,
New member here so apologies if what I'm posting about has been answered before- I've done a bit of a search and no luck so thought I'd reach out and see if anyone can help!
When gaming at home I do 99% of it through the joyous steam in-home streaming thingy, reason being my gaming PC is plugged into the TV and my POS work laptop can't handle anything other than the streaming client. I realise this isn't a steam game but the system is usually pretty good at latching onto programs and streaming them.
I should point out first that the game runs fine if booted up directly on the host- the launcher runs, can select a variety of resolutions and I get that wonderful nostalgic shiny menu screen appear in front of me. That's all gravy, but impossible to play using a handheld remote keyboard.
When attempting to launch through steam streaming, I can watch what happens on the host. The launcher appears (and steam successfully latches onto it) and I can interact etc on the client, but as soon as I try to launch the game, it crashes and fails to load. It does the whole "blank window appears for a couple seconds then vanishes" act. I've tried playing around with resolutions, compatibility, windowed/fullscreen settings etc but to no avail. I'm on winblows 10 (inb4 hate) but, as I said earlier, it seems to run fine when not trying to stream it through steam. What am I missing here? I can usually find ways to make it work with non-steam games like WoW and SWTOR but this has me stumped.
tl;dr (needed because I like the sound of my own voice): anyone got any experience of trying to run this through steam in-home streaming and, if so, what do?
Edit: Seems to have fixed itself bar the opening cutscene at character creation. I have no idea what I did. Maybe I didn't try every combination of resolutions/windowed/fullscreen modes? Who knows.
