Bought mortal shell 2, I just started learning the American lady in the wheelchair, and now the games completely gone, 18 hours down the drain and now I gotta hope and pray steam support is technically aware enough to know why I’m asking for a refund.

I kinda just wish GeForce would wait until games are completely compatible before adding them to the library, I bought it almost instantly so that’s partly my mistake, but if I buy a product for 70$ I expect it to work?? Maybe I’m crazy for that?? Idk.

Hello, I(22F) am looking for alternatives for a high-end gaming setup. I currently have an average day-to-day use laptop and travel frequently so I'm unable to afford a very expensive pc/console with good GPU and CPU specifications.

I am planning to play heavy games (RDR, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, etc) in my current setup and willing to try VMs/Cloud solutions for the same. Are there any services who provide such facilities at a reasonable rate(pay as you play type)? NO subscription basis like GeForce!!!

I bought the prepaid 3 month membership thinking it was a decent price for cloud gaming but was I very wrong!!! Their storage is low and the gamepad won't work in login screen for things like battlenet or steam. I tried to get a refund and they said "sorry! We don't have a refund policy no refunds once purchased" they don't advertise their storage size and it's only enough for one large game. Just an FYI!!!

Update: I went ahead and purchased the mid tier for Nvidia cloud and Xbox game pass ultimate. Much better deal!!!

so im thinking about buying geforce now subscription, but I can not afford to buy games. Is there a way to play pirated games on geforce now or any other cloud gaming service?

I am looking for a basic Cloud gaming service, that offers a Option that can Run minecraft with Shaders. I could use Shadow, but that would be Overkill cause i probably wont use shaders that are that performance intensive, i just need a afordable cloud pc that has:

-Atlest 70h a month (Unlimited would be the best Option, but i dont think thats possible)

-Is able to Run Minecraft with Mods

-Has Good enough Hardware to run Minecraft with Mods (Ram and Gpu have to be decent, but Cpu can lack behind cause i play on a Server)

Id apreciate if you guys could recomend me a few things.

I am putting together a living room gaming setup and keep going back and forth on this. PS5 caps at 120Hz anyway so part of me says just get a 120Hz TV and save the money.

But I also stream from my PC sometimes where I can push higher frames, and I keep reading that the panels with 144 or 165Hz native refresh do better with VRR and motion handling even at lower frame rates.

The other thing I cannot figure out is how much the TV processing matters for cloud gaming specifically. I use Moonlight and occasionally GFN and I get random stutter that might be network or might be the TV not handling the signal well.

Anyone actually compared a 120Hz panel side by side with a 144 or 165Hz for a mixed console plus stream setup?

Is there a plan for cloud gaming yet? And, when is a potential date?

I’m probably part of the super small community that plays or has no choice to play on Nvidia GeForce Now for Steam games. I wish I could play this game… Everyone else already playing you guys are killing me lol watching all these great game videos and pics..

I'm just researching cloud gaming options at the moment.

I've got two main use cases:
(EDIT one use case - Old School Lan party, 2 goals, windows/mac clients)

• Me: Windows gaming PC. I can already stream from my own machine using Sunshine/Moonlight, or potentially Steam Remote Play over Tailscale.
• My friend: Mac M5 / ARM, so compatibility with older Windows games is the bigger problem.

For my friend, the main options I've found so far are:

• Shadow PC – seems like the obvious option for older Windows games, especially things like heavily modded Total Annihilation or Rome II.
• Vagon.io – historically not heavily marketed for gaming, but they seem to have added/improved gaming support recently.

I'm mainly wondering what other options are out there worth exploring.

I'm planning to do some testing later this weekend.
The end goal is basically to set up a little virtual LAN with family/friends so we can play older titles together, and potentially some newer games as well.

Current PC Build

I'm Canadian

5800X
3080 12gb
16gb ram 2666
5TB SSD
Built in a liquid cooled system

My system probably sits in between 1300-1500CAD value.

I see Boosteroid offering 14$/mth for their limitless Ultra Pro offering which features a 7900XT 20GB (probably higher now) and 32GB ram plus data centre connections to multiplayer servers.

However, I'm a tech guy, i liked modded games. I have 5 instances of private WoW, 4 separate installed of Diablo 2 mods and enjoy Tarkov (PVE)

That being said, about to be a dad of two, so convenience is more of a desire.

I also have a Macbook Pro M1 16/512gb, was hoping I could run Metal on that or even a Windows sideloaded OS on a separate drive as my main. Also a musician so that system would fit well.

Assuming 1300-1500,

It could buy me 8 years of Boosteroid
Similar with Nvidia GFN on sale promo
And I'm guessing some ShadowPC since the custom stuff I'm running is pretty low spec.

Pros:

Save space
Heat
Noise
Mitigate Risk
Mobile Access
Access to Better hardware

Cons:

Less control
No guaranteed access to all titles
Availability: No queues
Hardware Access
Customizability
Ports

What are your thoughts?

My PC broke last year in October and I'm not paid enough to buy a new one so I've been using GFN for a few months now and so far I find it quite okay. I really miss being able to mod games but the connection is reallt quite good.
GFN offers most of my steam library but 2 games I REALLY miss playing: Helldivers II and Red Dead Redemption 2.
Now I live in Germany and have a really good ping to Frankfurt. Should I switch?
Boosteroid offers nearly all other games I regularly play: Squad, Arma Reforger, Operator, Monster Hunter Wilds and Monster Hunter World Iceborne.

I also play WarThunder which isn't on Boosteroid but I can easily live without it.

The best option for me would of course be Shadow PC but I won't pay >30€ per month which I would need to do to get a rig with hardware strong enough to run the games I want to run.

Also, Boosteroid has a collaboration with WoT yet doesn't offer WoT HEAT, why?

Hi, i don’t have a high end laptop to run aaa games. If I want them should i go for GeForce cloud gaming ? Need some advice as first time so

Im leaving home for studies and I can't bring my whole PC setup with me. Cloud gaming providers like GE Force don't let you run mods and a bunch of my favorite games aren't in their catalog (Sony Games), so I wanted to ask:

Are there any good affordable and reliable Cloud PC services that are worth buying? Anyone who's used/using one that can recommend me something? Thanks

First some context: I've been a long time user of GFN, but had some annoyances with it. The biggest one is limited game availability. Another one is lack of servers in Iberia, so I'd always get 40+ ms latency, which tbh isn't that bad since I play single player only.

Boosteroid seemed like a perfect deal - play almost any title, with lower latency thanks to servers in Spain, and for 25% cheaper. No free trial kinda a bummer compared to GFN, but it's also fair for a smaller player. So after skipping all the dark patterns to make me buy sub for multiple months, I bought ultra for 1 month for around 15 eur.

My first experience was very pleasant. I tried to play Outer Wilds which isn't available on GFN, and had a blast. But then I tried some other games and a shitshow started...

You can check my 3 previous posts on this sub for all the details, I'll also add another one I didn't write about before - when I tried to play NieR Automata, I got a server in.. Belgrade, out of all places?? I'm in Lisbon, there are tens of servers that could be closer than that. In the end I didn't even try coz Steam considered my IP too suspicious and didn't let me login.

In general I'd describe experience as: constant tinkering. I've been troubleshooting, trying to figure out what are the issues, writing feedbacks, trying what works - instead of actually playing and enjoying the game. Now suddenly 25% discount seems very little, when you need to be a free QA, whereas GFN experience is very polished.

I'll try to finish Outer Wilds before my sub ends, highly recommend btw, it's been running well besides some issues with my controller (but not sure if it's my controller, my mac, or boosteroid). But at this point I don't even feel like trying other games, because so far my experience was unpleasant many more times than it was pleasant, which is not fine for a paid product.

tl;dr: There are more games available than GFN, but the quality of the service makes you feel like it's less, since many of them are barely playable.

So I've been annoyed for a while that Apollo's best feature only exists on Windows. You connect with your phone or whatever client and it just creates a virtual display in exactly that resolution and refresh rate, streams it, and removes it when you disconnect. On Linux there's Hermes with the Hermes-KMS kernel driver (by MrOz59) which does real virtual monitors as native DRM devices, but encoding only worked with VAAPI, so AMD and Intel only.

I spent the whole evening getting it to run on NVIDIA and it actually works now. NVENC with h264, hevc and av1, and the virtual monitor really takes whatever the client asks for. My iPhone streams at its native 2796x1290 at 120hz and it switches automatically every time a different client connects. Played Cyberpunk on my phone with it, latency on the host side is somewhere around 3 to 5 ms. We also ran into a pretty interesting NVIDIA driver bug with EGL dmabuf imports along the way, the whole story is written up in the repo if you're into that kind of thing.

Fair warning though. This was tested on exactly one machine, mine. RTX 5060 Ti, driver 595.84, Nobara 44 with KDE Plasma on Wayland. No idea if it works on 40 or 30 series cards, and the automatic resolution switching currently needs KDE. It's an alpha.

The release page has a full step by step install guide now, from zero to streaming. Short version: you install the kernel module via DKMS (it builds itself for your kernel and rebuilds on every kernel update, takes about a minute), then either grab the prebuilt binary if you're on a Fedora based distro or build from source, drop in a small config file and set up your app in the web UI. Everything is spelled out with the exact commands here:

(Install Commands)

https://github.com/teodorgross/Hermes/releases/tag/v0.5.0-nvidia-alpha1

Source, technical writeup and build instructions:

https://github.com/teodorgross/Hermes

The kernel module:

https://github.com/teodorgross/Hermes-KMS

One heads up, if you have Secure Boot enabled the unsigned module won't load, you either need to enroll a MOK key for DKMS or turn Secure Boot off. That and a few other gotchas are covered in the troubleshooting part of the release notes.

If anyone with a different NVIDIA card tries this I'd really like to know if it works for you. Issues go on GitHub. Credits to MrOz59 for Hermes, ClassicOldSong for Apollo and LizardByte for Sunshine, this all builds on their work. I did this together with Claude Fable 5, PRs to upstream are already open.

I want to play sea of thieves with my friends, I am currently using the free Nvidia GeForce now. It’s good but only gives me 1 hour at a time.
What service can I use that would be cheapest and give me a lot more time to play and can trust.

So my pc is simply not good enough for vrc and I cannot spend the 1.5k cad it would cost to upgrade right now

However I heard about cloud pc and was wondering how I even use it?

My friend told me about her ex who used one to play but didnt have much more info then that?

Im really wanting pc vrc

So anyone know how to set this up? What websites are best for renting a cloud pc? Does this actually work??
