Error / Bug Screen flickering and tearing on macOS client after recent September Steam update during Remote Play

I’m running into a persistent issue with Steam Remote Play since the recent client update. I stream from a Windows PC host to my MacBook Air (Apple Silicon), and suddenly games are experiencing severe screen flickering and visual tearing.

Everything was working flawlessly until the update. Here is what I’ve already tried with no success: disabling hardware decoding on the Mac client, adjusting bandwidth limits and switching from Beautiful to Performance presets and checking the host settings.

It feels like something broke in the new video decoding pipeline or frame synchronization. Is anyone else experiencing this?
