Remote Play on Steam Deck works over wireless, but not wired
Im trying to get my steam deck ready to stream BG3 tomorrow to my big tv. Streaming works flawlessly through wireless, but unfortunately the room with the big tv doesnt get the best wifi signal. I do have a wired connection available, but when I try to stream any game with the dock plugged in to ethernet, the game on my steam deck will boot up, hang on the connecting screen, then kick me back out to the menu. When I go to my desktop, the game has successfully booted up and is now running.

Any idea why streaming works through wireless, but doesn't through my wired connection?

I wanna make love to a bear druid in 4k tomorrow!! thanks!

Why streaming instead of the easy way, that is running an HDMI cable between your dock & TV?

Did you find any fix for this? I've been battling with this issue for months with no help coming from steam support.

Just ran into this myself, tried different games, different ports on my router, different cables. Nothing works and I don't see any errors. This is in game mode, I'll try in desktop, but I don't know if that would change anything.

It happens to me also. The steam deck is connected to my 4k TV. On wifi remote play works, on wired it loads the game on the host machine but on the client I get kicked out to the game page. The launch button that initally says "Stream" now says "Connect".

It works now. There is a disable wifi button in network settings. After I did that it remote play started working on wired. Strange but if it works it works :))

can you describe this in more detail? I had the idea from the beginning, but it still didn't work. I tried it in handheld mode and in desktop mode using the “Wifi Off” shortcut.

I ran into the same issue.
I found a solution on an other post:
Go to Settings - Remote Play - And disable "Allow Direct Connection (IP sharing)"
I hope this helps :)

I don’t see that option in the settings, either on the host or client device.
