OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - OOTP22/21 suddenly only show up as background process

I think I figured it out and it's a really niche situation.

Last night I fired up my Macbook Air which has the functioning installation. I started OOTP and it started really quickly and displayed in a much higher resolution than usual.

I suddenly knew what was going on. I often use Steam streaming to play games that are too beefy for my Macbook to run locally.

It must have somehow maintained a streaming connection when I was trying to start up OOTP on my desktop machine and it was running as a background process on my PC but...it was streaming the application to my Macbook.

So it looked like it was running...and it was...just remotely on a Steam connected Macbook.
