Using the latest version on Pi4, when you press "Settings" and then "More" it instantly crashes.

Running from command line:

Also getting the above error. Starting streaming results in a black screen, but I still get audio.

I have the same issue with 1.1.70 as @Kite - in Settings, selecting "More..." instantly causes Steam Link to crash. I can re-launch and it's fine unless I go back into Settings and select More.

If I avoid going into Settings and just launch Remote Play from my host PC, no issues. Games seem to launch and run just fine. Using HEVC encoding as well, Raspberry Pi 4b.
Appears fixed in latest update (.71) :) thanks!
@Kite How did .71 fix this? I'm on that version and I still get the error...

On a fresh install BTW
I was using raspbian on a CM4, yesterday when launching it auto-updated, and now all functionality appears working for me (the More button works, I can change settings fine now). Try collecting the logs with the errors and adding to the new thread about the latest release and i'm sure a developer will see it and take a look
