Hello, I'm trying to stream to my steamdeck but Sunshine keeps terminating the client. I'm using moonlight on the steamdeck and on that it says Connection Terminated: Error Code -1. But all I need to do is click the app inside moonlight and it instantly reconnects into the game again.

Does anybody know why it's just randomly disconnecting with no errors? It allows me to stream for a few minutes and then it happens. Every single time.
