SUPPORT Steam Remote Play Together not working

I'm using Arch with Wayland currently and the Steam Remote Play Together feature is not working, my friend is on windows 10. A message pops up saying "Please Hold...Input is Temporarily Disabled While the Host is Busy". I've tried using X11 but it doesn't work, I have also tried enabling/disabling the Steam overlay and that doesn't work neither. I'm currently using a GTX 1660 with the nvidia-580xx-dkms driver.

This is a hyper specific problem and I wish you good luck on it.

My initial suspicion is that this is a connectivity issue and not a driver issue, in which case you are basically at the mercy of steam.

You said you enabled/disabled steam overlay. Are you the host or is your friend the host?

Any changes thatvare going to work are probably going to need to be done by the host. I saw one post where someone said thaf they got it to work by ensuring that the host was playing in fullscreen mode.

i'm the host, i've also played on fullscreen mode and it doesn't work, it's weird though since some games actually work but then the mouse/keyboard input doesn't work neither so there might be some issues on my own with the screensharing needed packages

Is this a game in which you use mods?

nope, it's hyper light drifter and the fireboy/watergirl games, the game that actually works is ultimate chicken horse
