The problem has affected nearly all the Steam and non-Steam games, although, for some users, only one or two games were concerned. The issue mainly arises after an OS or Steam client update. In some rare cases, the users could use the Remote Play feature when they reversed the guest and host role of systems. For some users, if the connection is made, the controllers, mouse, or keyboard do not work or gets hold of the wrong characters. In some cases, a black or sliced screen is shown. The issue arises when the user tries the Remote Play feature of Steam, but the connection fails (sometimes the game starts on the host but nothing on the guest). Moreover, different network settings like IP, IPV6, or more than one network connection may also cause issues with Steam Remote Play. Steam Remote Play might not work due to an outdated Steam client or if you are using a beta version.
