Steam Link

Streaming crashes app tvOS 16
My Apple TV (4th gen) is running tvOS 16 beta. My host computer is running Windows 10. Apple TV is hardwired into my network. I'm using a wireless PS4 controller.

I can open the Steam Link app and select my computer or run network tests without a problem. Once I click play, however, the app instantly closes. If I restart the app, the same thing happens. I can stream to other devices, like my iPad, without issues. Its only the Apple TV that no longer works.

I've checked my streaming_log.txt and remote_connections.txt, and there is no useful information. It's just the app that is instantly crashing. Any ideas? I've messed around with streaming settings (enabling and disabling hardware encoding, etc). Restarted my host machine, restarted the Apple TV, reinstalled the App. I'm bummed! I want to play Stray on my couch.

I'll double check, but I believe this is fixed for the next release.
I just tested with iOS 16 beta 4 and the public Steam Link app version 1.1.90.226 and had no issues with a PS4 controller connected. Are you still seeing this if you update your tvOS beta?
Was this fixed? I am experiencing the exact same issue.
I have uninstalled and installed everything. Updated windows, steam, drivers...
I have even just installed the latest beta version of the tvOS and the steam link crashes as soon as I try to connect to my PC.
Same, it was not fixed for me. Glad I'm not the only one with this problem!
Having the same exact problem in the same exact conditions, driving me insane since days.
Same issue on my Apple TV HD just updated to tvOS 16 RC seed. Did not occur on my Apple TV 4K (1st gen). Connected to Windows 11 RTX 3060 Ti. Have my Joy-Con (L/R) connected.
Is it working now in the latest update? (1.1.93)
Still having the issue. I might have been on 1.1.93 the whole time as that update came out on 9/3 and I reinstalled the app multiple times.
The app also froze when going to Streaming settings a bunch of times, first when I got to the 3rd page of it, since then the app froze every time I went to the Streaming settings, until I reinstalled again.
I’m also seeing this issue after updating to tvos16. Latest steam link version (1.1.93)
I'm not able to reproduce this here. Can you get a crash log or problem report for this issue?
Hey,
let me jump in to this. I've experienced the same issue.

The appleTV log says following. It is connected via Ethernet (not wifi). Older versions of appleTV (tvOS 15.1) seems to work.

A part of the log shows the following:

Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Subtype: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000101b8de88 Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000101b8de88 VM Region Info: 0x101b8de88 is not in any region.

Issue occurs on both my Apple TV HDs, but not my Apple TV 4K.

That tracks, I have a Apple TV HD here and still does not work.
Can also confirm this. I'm able to launch Steam Link and connect without issue on my Apple TV 4K. Can perform the network test on my Apple TV HD, but as soon as I try to start the remote session, the app crashes to the Apple TV homescreen.
