Thank you so much for your excellent product. There’s truly nothing else like it.

Could you please add an easier way to turn the performance overlay on and off?

My hardware is not very powerful, and I sometimes run into performance issues. The performance overlay helps me figure out what is causing the problem. However, to enable it, I currently have to stop streaming, go into the settings, change the overlay mode, go back, and reconnect again. That is quite a few extra steps.

It would be great if the performance overlay could be enabled or disabled directly from the in-stream overlay menu.

I concur to the previous comment about the excellent product. However there seems to be some stability issues for me at least;

Sometimes when starting the session the Steam Link client just crashes without any errors (at least errors visible to the user). This issue then persists until I boot both machines, cry and pray and it suddenly starts working again.

The client is Macbook Air with MacOS 15.7.7 (24G720) and the host is a Windows 11 machine. Is there client side logs available somewhere so I could better try to debug the cause of the issue? I'm a linux sysadmin so I can dig fairly deep and I can provide whatever additional information that might be needed to troubleshoot this issue.

The Steam logs\streaming_log.txt on the host computer has client logs as well. Can you post a link to that?

I checked the streaming_log.txt and streaming_log_previous.txt on the host computer and they remain untouched when this issue happens. iPhone Steam Link app and Steam Deck is able to connect when the MacOS Steam Link client has the crash issue. I collected a bunch of those logs now to my Google drive along with screen recording of the crash itself and a screen recording of the MacOS client settings & network test result along with a succesful connection.

Is there a better channel to share the Google drive link with you than a public forum? :-)

I'll send you e-mail so we can further troubleshoot this.
