(Note: I am aware of moonlight/sunshine, but SteamOS integration is important to me so I'd like to try to fix this before switching to something else)

I am experimenting with a Bazzite box and Steam Deck. Steam Remote Play has worked decently enough and I've got it working with Steam games and games running through Heroic. I've also got a game running successfully using Wii U emulator Cemu. However, no such luck with Eden (or Citron) emulator. The game starts fine on the host and can be seen if a display is connected. But the client just shows a black screen with a spinner in the lower right indefinitely.

The emulators are running as AppImage, but so is Cemu, and that works fine. I haven't changed any emulator settings related to GPU (i.e. it's using Vulkan). Anyone have experience with this or other ideas for testing?

Another idea if it's some sort of windowing weirdness is to try running the emulator through gamescope on the host machine. It may help (or it may make things worse).
