I own a Windows PC for gaming at home and a Mac for school. Occasionally when I'm away, I enjoy playing games using the Microsoft Remote Desktop client. It functions adequately for its purpose, but problems arise during gameplay—especially with Minecraft Java and GTA V. The mouse becomes erratic, moving too fast and only tracking downward, while in GTA V it shows similar uncontrollable movement. These issues disappear when I'm on the main desktop, and the mouse works properly at the edges, on the desktop, and with other applications. Could there be a cause for this behavior? Thanks!

Join the discussion on the forum! Steam Remote Play is suggested as a better option. I've attempted to run Unreal Tournament 2004 via RDC, but it didn't work. You mentioned the same problem, likely due to mouse input conflicts when using Remote Desktop.

Steam link performs better than using the Steam app for MCC. The app had some graphics issues, likely related to internet connectivity.
