RDP to UAE Host Unresponsive

Greyspirit · 17 October 2015, 15:39

When I RDP to my WinUAE host, the Amiga window is black and the title bar says Unresponsive.
Tried matching RDP resolution to the host's screen resolution but that didn't help.
If I log directly into the host machine after trying RDP, WinUAE is running normally and didn't seem to notice so I think its only graphical/interface issue, not the emulation itself.
Any idea why it happens and how to prevent?

RDP does not capture all Windows. I know it fails to capture my Direct X applications output.

You can try switching to DirectDraw (Misc panel, vs Direct3D) but RDP and constant full screen updates are not very optimal..

I'm already set to Direct Draw

something else I just realized. I accidentally left the Properties GUI open and found out that window does the exact same thing. Window was empty and white with non responding in title bar.
Immediately, I went back to host computer and logged back into the session and it was normal.

ok, I just realized the emulation itself IS actually freezing. Had a continuous ping running against it (Genesis) from another machine. When I tried the RDP connection, I immediately stopped receiving ping replies.
so RDP connection = WinUAE freeze until I log back into local computer.
