My host PC has GTX 680 card, I'm using newest NVidia driver and Linux. When I try to run Unreal Tournament 4, it looks good on host PC, but on client computer I get green screen.

I have tried both Linux and Windows as clients, in both cases I get green screen. I also have tried to disable hardware encoding on Linux host, did not change anything.

Linux version of UT4 can be downloaded here if you have Epic Games account (or few minutes of spare time to create one) or here without registration.

If you just run the game on your host PC, are you able to take Steam screenshots or do they also come out green/black?

Steam screenshots come out black for this game, even though Steam overlay works (I can monitor FPS, etc).

If I manage somehow bring normal window in foreground (such as text editor) while In-Home Streaming is active, I can see Unreal Tournament 4 normally in the background, but FPS feels low. If I make UT4 window foreground again, everything become green (I guess Steam switches to more efficient method of capturing real-time video, but something goes wrong and it does not work).
