Description

I am having an issue where some gamecube games will crash during launch/launch with black screen (audio still there). This issue only occurs when i'm casting to my 4k TV via steam link, if i open them on my 1440p monitor they are fine. Any idea why this would be happening? Specific games are Mario power tennis, Luigi's mansion, and Warioworld.

Driver = Vulkan
Audio = Xaudio
Input = Xinput
Resolution = 1920x1080
Vsync = on
Widescreen hack - on via Dolphin setting
Rewind feature is off

Like i said it all works perfect when running from my PC, wondering if its a steam overlay issue or what.

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by reproducing launch through Steam Link with Mario Power Tennis, Luigi's Mansion, or Wario World using the listed Vulkan, resolution, Vsync, widescreen, audio, and input settings, then compare with direct monitor launch. Done means the Steam Link crash or black-screen cause is identified and the affected games launch correctly while casting.
