Using latest Steam client (built June 14 2016 at 23:24:07 w/ API v017 and package versions 1465948400) on both computers, the steam client on the host computer crashes when I try to stream a game. This happens both when I initiate the game from either host or client computer. Client computer displays black screen which closes when host crashes. Tried with three separate games. Streaming from a Windows host to Linux client works fine. Linux to Windows crashes Linux host same as above. I have only one Windows box, so can't test Win to Win.

I get the following on the terminal:

bjwest@razorback:~$ CCrossProcessPipe::BWrite wrote too few bytes: 32 (Broken pipe). Continuing.
../common/pipes.cpp (765) : CClientPipe::BWriteAndReadResult: BWaitResult failed, disconnected
../common/pipes.cpp (765) : Fatal assert failed: ../common/pipes.cpp, line 765. Application exiting.

Sorry guys. This may have been a problem with my system. I'd had a problem with no audio on in Chrome and some strange crashes here and there for a couple of days prior. I rebooted my machine and all is well now. Streaming works, and audio is back in Chrome. It'd been a while since my last reboot, I usually put it to sleep at night. I guess the days of Linux running for years at a time, at least on the desktop, are gone.

The "did you try turning if off and back on again" bug has migrated from Windows to Linux... :(

I can't even start steam anymore I get identical output

../common/pipes.cpp (765) : CClientPipe::BWriteAndReadResult: BWaitResult failed, disconnected

@deri82

try this
rm -rf ~/.local/share/Steam/config/
