My Boosteroid experience has been terrible lately

I honestly don’t recommend Boosteroid right now, at least based on my experience.

The support is basically useless. Every time I contact them, I feel like I get generic answers, random Google Drive links, or excuses instead of an actual fix. They don’t really solve the problem, they just keep pushing it away.

The latency is also horrible and very random. Sometimes I get connected to a server with around 40 ping instead of the closest one, even though I should be getting something closer to 15 ping. For cloud gaming, this makes a huge difference, especially in games like CS2 or Fortnite.

CS2 has had issues on the Prague server for around 4 months and it still isn’t fixed. That is honestly crazy. I’ve reported it, waited, checked again, and it still doesn’t work properly. Fortnite also has an issue with building on the Y bind and that has been broken for around 2 months. These are not small problems when these are the games people actually pay the service to play.

They also sometimes make major mistakes that make everything basically unplayable. For example, there was a mouse bugging issue where the mouse movement felt broken and the whole service became almost unusable. Their response was basically that they already knew about it, but even after 2 days it still wasn’t fixed. Instead of giving a real solution, they suggested some Google Drive file or told me to try a browser. That is not a proper fix for a paid cloud gaming service.

Another thing that annoys me is that they add games, but then the game can be under maintenance for like 14 days. What is the point of adding a game if people can’t even play it properly?

And the worst part is that they don’t give any real compensation for these problems. If a game is broken for months, or servers are unusable, customers should get something back. But instead, it feels like they just expect you to keep paying and wait forever.

At this point, I would really like Boosteroid to give a real answer and actually explain what is going on. Not another generic support message, not another Google Drive link, and not just “try another browser.” I want a clear explanation of why these issues keep happening, what they are doing to fix them, and why customers are not getting any compensation when the service is broken for weeks or even months.

I used Boosteroid quite a lot, but lately it has been almost unplayable for me. Random server routing, bad latency, long-lasting game issues, major bugs like the mouse issue, useless support, and no compensation. For me, Boosteroid feels very unreliable right now.

Cloud gaming on mobile

Hi all. Do any gamepass games translate well to playing on an iPhone?
I have been gifted a gamesir controller so wanted to give it a try. I was interested in wartales but the writing was too small so wasn’t a good experience.

Thanks in advance

Edit: I have slay the spire and deep rock galactic in their native mobile versions. I was thinking of things I can only get through cloud gaming.

Another user’s saved browser logins appeared inside my Shadow PC

I’m a paid Shadow PC customer and I want to share a serious privacy/security concern.

After logging into the Shadow PC assigned to my account, I found Microsoft Edge saved login entries that did not belong to me and appeared to belong to another user.

I reported this to Shadow support responsibly and provided evidence privately. I did not copy, export, publish, or use the other user’s private data.

After reporting it, my paid access was locked. I then provided proof of payment, and Shadow confirmed it was approved. However, they still require a government ID before restoring access.

This is not about money or compensation. My concern is simple: if another user’s saved browser login data can appear inside my Shadow PC, how can I know whether my own data has not appeared inside someone else’s machine?

I’m sharing only a redacted screenshot. Emails, usernames, domains, passwords, and personal data are hidden. I will not post unredacted evidence publicly because it contains another person’s private information.

I’m posting this so other users can be aware before trusting a cloud PC service with personal accounts.

I cannot play Family Shared Games ("Not Now" buttom)

I've never had any problems playing family games before, but now it's asking me to complete a mandatory verification that I can't skip, which means I can't play games from the family library.

Internet ( cloud gaming )

Hi folks, i know this is somewhat off topic but still my priority is to get the best experience for Gaming from my internet.

Currently i’m subscribed to a local operator broadband under the ISP ‘Gigantic Info tel pvt ltd’.
So the Geforce now happened and i’m currently using the performance tier for the service.

My problem with my ISP - my Internet is mostly stable and the occassional issues gets resolved within time. I’m currently on 100 mbps up and down.

Now a days now that i’m using Geforce now i’m noticing a problematic pattern.

Most of the night my cloud gaming experience is seamless but as we approach daytime at around 8 AM in the morning hiccups starts happening with the major problem of inconsistent Download speeds.

My 100 mbps FTTH connection struggles with downloads in the speedtest, the first second it shows 90 mbps then it drops down to 20-30 mbps then next second it’s back up thus resulting very inconsistent downloads

After examining for few days it’s 100% that it’s the case of Network Congestion, as the daytime arrives neighbour starts consuming bandwidth from the same node thus the Downloads are struggling and throttling heavily.

Before cloud gaming/Geforce now, this problem was almost unnoticable as Youtube and other internet activity mostly relies on buffering. But the Geforce now is almost unplayable.

I wanted to ask you guys about your internet/broadband experiences. How reliable/ consistent is your experience with your internet?

I’ve heard that network congestion is something that does exists with broadband network, i wanted to know how common is this, coz because of the Cloud gaming reason this problem is wuite problematic.

Should i ask my ISP, i’m currently getting 45/95 over a 100mbps up down plan on Ookla speedtest? Or is this problem this much common that my ISP will just ignore my issue.

Is switching an option that i have or should i even consider it ( is it gonna solve my problem ) ?

What is you guys experience with your ISP for someone who uses cloud gaming regularly how’s your experience with it?

Playing GTA6 on the cloud. Good strategy or hopeless dream?

I'll be getting a ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X in a month or 2, and that'll do my gaming for the next few years. It'll obviously not handle GTA6 well, so I was considering trying to play it on Cloud. I understand that we simply don't know how demanding the game will be yet, but could someone enlighten me whether or not that's a viable plan?
