    I’ve recently made it to Act 3 in Baldur’s Gate 3, and my integrated graphics on my laptop aren’t keeping up, so now I have installed it on my desktop machine and am using Steam Remote Play (my desktop is plugged into the TV, it’s not a proper desktop setup).

    Often, the Steam connection drops out and the game keeps playing on the desktop but I can’t connect back to it from the laptop.

    Any suggestions on what I could do to either stop losing the connection or let me connect back to it after it drops?

    Set up:

    • Laptop has Nobara Gnome spin
    • Desktop has Mint Cinnamon
    • Bought BG3 on GOG, installed through Heroic Launcher, added to Steam as non-steam game to play it.

      Oh, tough one. I don’t know what’s that protocol. But I guess it’s not tied to WiFi. So, How about getting a cheap ethernet switch? That’s how I connect devices in my living room to the router given by ISP that’s on the other side of the wall.

        The laptop is connected via WiFi (to an access point directly next to me), I don’t have a LAN port for it at the moment.

        The desktop is connected via ethernet.

        Normally Steam will let you reconnect to a game that’s already playing, but I don’t seem to have that option. It’s like it forgets it’s running.
