I’ve been trying to stream my non-steam games from Arch Linux(host) using Steam Runtime but after opening the game no video gets to the Steam Deck(client). I can stream Steam games just fine but I have noticed that non-steam games don’t load the steam overlay either.

Has anybody been able to figure this out?

    Are you using Wayland? If so, you need to launch Steam as steam -pipewire, and then select your display. Note that your screensaver will be inhibited while Steam is open with this option.

    That being said, I would recommend going for a Sunshine/Moonlight setup if you can rather than using Steam remote play. I get much better performance with Sunshine and Moonlight.

    Edit: I just read that steam games work fine for you. In that case, I’m not entirely sure why non-Steam games don’t work.

      Yes I’m using Wayland so I’ll give that a shot.

      EDIT: Didn’t work I’ll give sunshine a shot.
