not working on Steamdeck in Gamemode

[Kamikaze01git]

Hello.

I installed RPW via the NonSteamLaunchers as a Non Steam Game.

I started RPW, invite a friend, then exit RPW.
In the site panel the RemotePlay session is still open.
After that I should start the game and my friend should connect...

But most of the time we tried, my friend got the message "YOU ARE PLAYING TOGETHER WITH ... OVER STEAM REMOTE PLAY ON HIS/HER COMPUTER UNINITIALIZED"
but nothing happens.
At my side, I see message, that he is already connected.

When we try regular RemotePlay (without the script) on a game that officially supports RemotePlay, he will (sometimes) see the game, but very laggy and often freezes (no way to play this way together).
(me as host has 300/50 Mbit and my friend as client has 100/20 Mbit...)

Any help on how to get this run smooth with nonsteam Games?!
Maybe do we have to set some additional settings like Portforwarding or something else?

Are there any problems with Remote Play Together (or RemotePlayWhatever) between two SteamDecks?
Can anyone confirm, that this works between two SteamDecks?

I would like to play some old retro games like we used to in the legendary 80th with couch coop and some friends :)

But every time we try (we are both on a steamdeck), I won't work :(

Hi, sorry you’re having trouble but I was curious how you installed remote play whatever via the non steam launchers Decky plugin? I can’t find it as a toggle in its UI in game mode…I do have the remote play whatever appimage from this GitHub for RPW latest release but figured that’s separate from whatever one Non steam launchers would install.
once I have this NSL Decky plugin version of RPW I can test out your issue too to see if it happens to me.

Hello and thank you for your participation.

I do not have a Decky Plugin if the NSL Script. I use the normal install like described at THIS page
When I launch the NonSteamLauncher Script, I can toggle all Launchers which I want to be installed in a single unique proton folder.
That's great.

But in this list, I can also toggle the RPW script to be installed and automatically added as a non-steam game.

This was the way I installed it...

anyway: is there a clean way to totally uninstall and delete all files corresponding to RPW and do a clean fresh install of the script?

Can you first try adding RPW as a non-steam game and then add "--appid 0" in the launch options. It resolves most of the issues.

I was so happy to read about a possible solution.
but then I realised, that this launch option is already added :(

Can someone confirm, that Remote Play (Or RemotePlayWhatever) works well between two SteamDecks?

Me and my friend are always having some troubles, but did not try it via PC yet...
With both SteamDecks we are very unlucky.

So now the problem only persists regarding the performance of the non-steam games being played between the two SteamDecks? Is that correct?
