I seemingly cannot get a connection on MacOS 27 Beta
It always throws a connection error on port 27031.

I have done all the usual debugging steps like checking for conflicting ports on my network and checking for firewalls on the Mac. But no nothing is conflicting and all other devices on my network work fine like an iPhone on iOS 27 beta and my Steam Deck.

Pairing and device discovery functions perfectly fine, but the network test and actual connection times out.

Can you post a screenshot of the actual error?

I would! But it seems in a later beta update, namely Beta 6, the issue has resolved itself. I believe it might have been due to some updates Apple has made to the networking within MacOS.

Streaming from the Steam Machine to my macbook air when it's' on the big picture mode i cannot navigate the big picture mode interface to choose a game as it gives me maybe 1 frame ever several seconds up to a point of stop working.

Once i'm inside a game by just pressing "A" "A" "A" several times to open up the game, once the game loads it's really smooth and plays great
