Steam in Home Streaming Closes after ~5 seconds of running

I cannot get steam in home streaming to work.  I am running gnome3 and my system is up to date (the client).  My game host is windows.  I have the graphics drivers installed and working properly on both computers.  My connection between the computers is excellent (rdp and vnc both work across it).  Running on a gigabit connection doesn't change the result.

When I start streaming on my linux computer.  It starts streaming after a moment with sound, video, and keyboard input.  But after that it crashes.  (Not steam just the streamer.) Here is the output:

So I installed lib32-libva-intel-driver which provides that library (I have an intel graphics card) and because the .so is put some else than steam wants I also ran sudo ln /usr/lib32/dri/i965_drv_video.so /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so so steam would find the library.

Steam's streamer still complains that it cannot load the library though:

Is there any way I can get steam to stream?  Has anyone else encountered this issue? Thanks in advance.
