Steam Deck - Games / Steam Big Picture starting and exiting immediately

[Kvoo]

Installed Moonlight on my Steam deck and enabled everything on my PC. When I go to start a game or Steam Big Picture via Moonlight, it does start and set the correct resolution on the Host PC, but instantly exits out on my steam deck, back to the games screen. I then have the option to resume or quit the game. When resuming, it instantly exits out again.

I've attached the NvStreamer log from my Host PC. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, it looks like there is an internal error in the driver that is causing display capture to fail:

I noticed in the logs that you're not running a normal production Nvidia driver. It seems like you're running one of Nvidia's preview drivers and running the Windows 11 Insider Preview Dev ring. I suspect that the driver installation may be the reason NvFBC doesn't work.

Try installing the latest official production Nvidia driver and see if that fixes it.

Are you sure about the driver? I‘m running a normal driver installed via GeForce Experience, nothing special

[cgutman]

Yes, pretty sure. Remember that Windows Update (especially in Insider Preview) can update your driver without you knowing.

What does GeForce Experience say your driver version is?

[Kvoo]

Yeah I noticed, the gpu driver was a preview version. I tried removing it and installing the newest production version, but that makes my PC just crash every few minutes (A problem I had before with the dev channel)

I guess I‘ll do a clean install so I can move out of the dev channel.

Did moving out of the dev channel fix this? I just updated to the beta channel to get tabs on explorer and now experience this issue.
