Hello!

I recently consolidated my gaming PC into my home server with Steam-Headless and have been streaming my games to my steam deck using Remote play.

Overall I’ve been really happy with it, but I’m having a problem in Baldur’s Gate 3 specifically. When I stream BG3, I get bursts of video with long freezes between them. Audio and input seem to not be affected. For example, if I hold move left for a few seconds, I can hear my characters footsteps indicating movement, then a few seconds later the screen will update with my character changing direction, then a few seconds later they will be a few feet along the walk path, and a few seconds later they will be at the destination.

I don’t have this problem in any other game. God of War (2018) and Cyberpunk 2077 both streamed without any issues for 10 hours yesterday, but BG3 is just unplayable.

I’ve tried turning on and off hardware encoding on the client and host, turning on and off HEVC and AV1, using low latency networking, and reducing the bitrate, all to no avail.

I don’t really care if a frame drops here or there since its a turn based game, but this isn’t even playable.

Thanks for the ideas!
