I am still playing around with this, so let me know if you discover anything about this. This means, Uplay and Origin games (such as Battlefield 4), or other games that typically have and issue with the Steam Overlay or simply do not play with Steam can be streamed without issue. I managed to launch Sanctum 2 from the library on my server PC from my client PC and play, *ALBEIT ONLY AFTER I HAD SET THE GRAPHICS SETTINGS TO WINDOWED MODE*. What's more, is that now you can stream MORE games through this connection. All of your server PC's at-boot programs will now load and function. Your client PC (regardless of its actual OS or hardware) will now stream your ENTIRE desktop and sound via Steam In-Home Streaming. Once that is added to your library, simply login to your client PC and run the "Explorer" shortcut you just added. You want to find explorer.exe, which is typically located in C:\Windows\. Next, add a "non-steam game" to your library. None of your other at-boot programs will load, because these are dependent upon explorer.exe. When you reboot, the only program running will be Steam. In fact, it will work better if you skip those steps.

Here is a simple guide, but you *do not* need to follow any steps regarding Big Picture Mode.

This can be done with a single registry tweak. The alternative is to bypass booting to explorer and go straight into Steam.

Some versions will automatically restart explorer.exe. Some versions of Windows allow you to do this in the task manager. If you leave explorer.exe on it will simply open a new window and will make the server PC disconnect. To do this, you must first TURN OFF explorer.exe on the server computer. I'm just trying to illustrate how big of a deal this In-Home streaming can be.

What's the practical application of this? I have no idea. With In-Home streaming, you can now stream your ENTIRE (Windows) desktop, not just games. Up until now, options for remote access were limited and typically very laggy.
