“ Will this be available on Linux/Mac No, this version needs Windows to run. Players on Mac can play the PC version with Ray Tracing via GeForce NOW. Learn more at https://www.geforcenow.com/ ”
It's a promo they are doing right now. Prebuy or now buy until December 17th and you get a free Stadia Premier package. Just buy the game through Stadia app and you are set. People are already getting their confirmation emails for the deal. It is while supplies last so if you are going to do it now is the time. Here is a Friend Referral Link for an extra free month of Pro (2 in total with the current 1 month deal). You can just cancel as soon as you subscribe and bot pay a dime you will get free games tied to your subscription (Pro games) along with a bunch of other deals. You can get the deluxe edition of Borderlands 3 with the $10 voucher they give you for like 99 cents. It is an insane value right now.
GFN works perfectly on the Amazon Fire Stick 4K, just download the android GFN app on to the stick and you are good to go.

If the VPN "fixes" the packet loss it's 99% a problem of your ISP, Nvidia cant do much unfortunately.
The cause might be the route your ISP uses to get to GFN servers: an overloaded appliance or the peering/transit link to the destination can cause packet loss very easily.
VPN uses a different route and doesnt pass thru the same congestion, hence no packet loss.
Another possible explanation is that EU West is overcrowded and behind the scenes you are actually connected to another server location (EU Central 2 for example), even if with 20ms of latency is very unlikely. Start a game, press CTRL+ALT+F6 and take alook at the first line in upper right corner to see the actual server.
A test you could do is use a software like WinMTR (checks both latency and pkt loss on each hop) pointing to EU West server:
eu-west.cloudmatchbeta.nvidiagrid.net
Do the test twice, once with VPN turned on and the other without (let it go for at least 5 mins each time).
Compare the results and keep an eye on the "Loss %" column, it will tell you where the packets are getting lost.
Dont worry if after 5-10 hops you get a 100% loss, it's completely normal
Looks pretty similar to AWS machine types. Couldn't find the exact match: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/g4/?nc1=h_ls
The machine type that GFN uses is likely custom (1GPU, 4/6/8 vCPU, whatever memory configuration).
I play on a Chromebook
Acer Chromebook 15, Intel Celeron N3350, 15.6" Full HD Touch, 4GB LPDDR4, 32GB Storage, Google Chrome, Pure Silver, CB515-1HT-C2AE, 15-15.99 inches https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GM2TCPM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_3Oyq9I16NoLSg
I only paid $272 on it during a Black Friday sale in 2019 though. $400 seems steep.
Can you explain if you're talking about the Nvidia games app on the play store or another app, because they mentioned that there is going to be another geforce now android app. I can't seem to find any info about that new official app on the internet. Also which version of the nvidia games app are you using?
Edit: Just found it! It currently has 100+ downloads and it's not avaible in my country (Im from the EU) so it's really for Korea. How did I find it? Search for any nvidia android app in the play store (example: NVIDIA SHIELD TV). Click on the app and then click on the publisher name (just click on NVIDIA) under the app title. Then it will open a menu with all nvidia apps and you will see NVIDIA Geforce Now there.
Edit 2: Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nvidia.geforcenow
I followed the other alternative:
1.Go to: <strong>https://autohotkey.com/download/</strong>
2.Install it 3
.Make a text file anywhere and copy and paste the script above in it
4.Click File>Save As> name it geforce-copy-paste.ahk
5.Start it with a double click and copy-paste works now
>edit: I'll also add that unsupported devices is strictly not something we are totally against, but the amount of work done to get it to work seems to err on the side of its just too much. Also the whole " through a supported device " is there. Going technical when the devices listed is pretty far-reaching tbh with the "linux is linux" well no, it's not. There are specific devices that may run off the same kernel or use the same base-level OS but it's obviously not what they're referring to.
It is ~3 clicks:

Also, for what it is worth, Wine is effectively Windows 7 or higher. :/
Stoked for this also, pre-ordered yesterday. It is so funny that people complain that they aren't getting 3080 performance for their $4/month account. You didn't grow this service for Nvidia, there is a high likelihood they are losing money on every founder member at that price. Go spin up a gaming quality cloud instance at AWS, GCP, Azure, report back what the cost per hour is. Compute, memory, storage and GPU isn't free, stop being stupid.
Shadow.tech just about died, and still could by having a pricing model that WAS NEVER EVER GOING TO BE PROFITABLE. If you don't like it, go build your own gaming rig and put a 3080 card in it. Let us know what it cost
Nope , consumer RTX2070 is fast enough for 1080p/60fps + high settings. BUT you can activate dlss which should let you max out the game. Maybe you have to use rtx high instead of ultra or 1-2 settings not on extreme , because you wont see the difference anyway because of stream quality. Most games have settings that barely do anything but reduce the performance quite a lot.
I think gfn is somewhere between a 2070 and 2080 (server 2080d). It should run a bit better than your current metro exodus version (better optmized, better dlss) , most of the time gfns cpu is the problem and not the gpu.
I know Ubisoft uploads a copy of photomode screenshots taken in the recent Assassin's Creed games to their servers as seen here. I don't know for sure if they do this for their other IPs as well, but if you look around you might be able to find them somewhere. Their FAQ seems to suggest that they do, as long as you're playing in online mode. Otherwise I'm afraid your best bet will be to take a local screenshot of your photomode end result in-game, which will be subject to GFN's video compression.
If you have got an android phone Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.apuri.free.games this app tells you when new free games are available on most digital game stores for pc and mac
I understand the logical flaws of my argument (Verizon throttling). I just can't think of a better explanation. I suppose it is possible that the ethernet port on the new USB hub is 'kinda bad'?
I'll be curious, one day when I get my hands on a replacement video card, I'll plug in my old gaming PC and try that ethernet port. At that point, it won't matter having GeForce Now, but I'm curious nonetheless.
I'm just happy that I can game again.
Oh, here's the adapter I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077XJB1Z8/
You just saved me countless hours of waiting my guy! Just downloaded ProtonVPN and got founders from US. I was only playing early mornings because servers were full at day and night times. Now I can game in peace. Thank you so much!!!
The Shield controller has a button which activates the Google assistant and also you can set it up to be always listening for "OK Google".
For the signing in problem I have an air mouse tv remote which I use for the Shield and it has a full keyboard on the back it connects via a USB dongle, like this....

Yes!! These glasses work with the iPhone with a special adapter that’s optionally sold as a bundle, here’s what that looks like from Amazon:
Also, while I don’t have a Mac, these work amazingly well with mac devices! They essentially act as a secondary monitor when connected to MacBooks or Mac minis. There’s a lot of cool posts on r/nreal where mac users explain all the functionality they get out of these glasses.
Definitely worth buying as your next display instead of a monitor or TV!
This is the hub I have and it works

I’ve heard of others that work Vehmont is the brand I think… you might want to get one with an Ethernet port… I just had this one laying around.
What controller are you using and receiver?
You can use Wireguard to connect to ProtonVPN servers, just make a Wireguard configuration from account settings page of ProtonVPN for a Japan server then use it in Wireguard's official app to connect.
It is very lightweight on the system.
Did you run the network test? Try both the Nvidia one and ookla
If you're getting less than 7 MB/s download speed or more than 15% packet loss then you've found your problem.
if you say so mate :) all the best and please don't comment when you clearly get burned by the critigue against GFN for some reason unknown.
hahah you have 30 ms ping mate and lowly 15Mbps upload
here, enjoy, I just did a test to the same server

When I get more issues, I will have a look at the logs and see if anything nvidia related is mentioned.
In regards to the Chrome question, I didnt know you could play in browser, I had always used the app. I will give it ago. Thanks!
Damn, they might actually have a shot:
- AWS is huge in cloud services
- Potentially better "exclusives" (if they go that way; source)
- They own twitch. So potentially at least all the twitch prime loot games (even though mostly not that great) might be included.
- If they combine it with amazon/twitch prime they might easier get some kind of "critical mass" of users. Besides, amazon has a ton of users anyway.
- Amazon probably has enough money to run the project on a loss for a long time (in order to win the whole market at the end)
But mostly, I am curious, whether they will go the Gamepass, GFN or Stadia way. (Hoping not the last one).
It's strange becouse on pad test app everithing seems to be OK.

I am slowly losing faith that someday I will be able to play CP2077 on the big screen. I tried with Xbox360 pads (doesnt work ), now I bought for ps4 and it's the same or wrong. my laptop only has a 720p screen and it doesn't have that WOW effect. ehhh
I'm looking at something like this in the $250 price range for my living room setup. It can run some small/old games on its own, which is a bonus over the N Shield. But I'm mostly looking at it to run GeForce Now at 4k/60, which it does meet the spec requirements to run 4k through the windows app.
Around the house I like to play games on my chromebook too. So with a mini PC if I wanted to play an indie title that's not on Android, like Mini Motorways, I could run it on the mini PC and stream it to my chromebook with Steamlink. I see a lot more flexibility in something like this for just a bit more money.
Ooo I just remembered the junglecat: https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Junglecat-Dual-Sided-Mobile-Controller-Android/dp/B07YNM5YG3/
Great deal on Amazon. Downside is Bluetooth and requires a special case I believe but upside is looks much lower profile than kishi.
>And I recommend you to switch provider since they are terrible ISP.
I am afraid thats not possible in my location, Indihome is the only cable ISP here and Telkomsel is the only one that have 4G coverage in my area oof
​
>I'm using Mullvad when I'm on Indonesia back then to play starhub GFN.
hows your experience using Mullvad? do you get any high ping/packet loss?
They also do a really, really solid phone grip for it.
Se vc usa VPN só pra conectar no jogo e desativa pra jogar, eu recomendo a ProtonVPN, tem servers americanos de boa velocidade e gratuitos, sem limite de tempo. Mas se gosta de ter uso total de VPN, o Avira Phantom VPN custa só 18 reais por mês, é o melhor custo benefício que achei.
Judging by a whois search it looks like the hops are happening between my isp and NVIDIAs end server. I did try connecting to a vpn with Wireguard (used Mullvad) and that decreased the ping down to around 30 ms. Thanks for the help!
In America, Genshin Impact is playable via NVIDIA GeForce NOW ONLY IN CANADA
But i have my tricks: Connect to Canada via NordVPN (I have a Membershiop until 12/3/2023), open , login with my Non-ABYA** Account, start Genshin Impact, and when i'm in the Queue, disconnect the VPN and BAM! i'm playing with the FULL POWER of my Fiber-Optic
This one. Is a pro controller with the form of a Gamecube controller. As a guy who grew up with the Gamecube, I always wished for a way to game modern games with a Gamecube controller. When I found this one, I didn't hesitate a second and I got it. It's been with me on games like Gears 5 multiplayer, Dark Souls III and Sekiro, Project Cars saga, Smash clones, etc... https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Nyko-Retro-Core-Controller-Alternative-Compatibility/dp/B07SXJQ57D
I have used one of those $20 Logitech keyboard/trackpad combos on just about every device in my house at some point. Eats up a USB port, but works great for what I need (typing in logins and search queries and whatnot). Lasts years and years on a single set of batteries and is small enough to stash under the couch. I wouldn't want to use it to control games, but I also would never choose to play games that need a mouse and keyboard in front of a TV instead of at a desk or table.
It evidently only works on Windows. Have seen people complain about it for GFN and Stadia both. I hear the Logitech f310 works and is just $20. I also hear that it's oddly shaped, feels very cheap, sometimes has dead zone issues and drift, etc. Your mileage may vary. I recommend an official XBox pad at $50.
> I own R6 Siege on Xbox but why have to pay for their Gold/GPU to play multiplayer when I can play multiplayer for free on PC and GFN?
Complains about paying to play XBox online but then pays to stream GFN online. Brilliant, mate. Really brilliant.
I would be very interested in some in depth cost analysis from you on $10/mo for GFN + cost of games vs buying $55 XBLG subs and upgrading to ultimate for $1. Because in my mind, it seems like on the one hand you've got download and streaming access to hundreds of included games including several brand new releases for $56 and on the other you've got $100/yr for access to an extremely limited game library with absolutely no games included. I'm having genuine difficulty imagining how you can spin such a comparison in such a way as to favor GFN. I absolutely understand dislike of MS or resentment for an online tax or whatever, but c'mon... be reasonable.
> I tried moving very close to the TV but it doesn't work as well.
Are you trying to say that it works less well or that it also doesn't work at all?
> Does this work on your TV?
I stick to using a Playstation and an XBox if a game is controller-friendly and moving to a PC at a desk if it is not. I mostly reserve game streaming for scenarios where I need to use mobile devices, because that's IMHO the only case where it currently makes any sense. Android, and especially Android TV, have really terrible Bluetooth controller support. I suspect that you're going to be disappointed with the results, even if you get yours connected. If you absolutely have to stream games to your TV, I'd be looking for ways to bypass the Bluetooth: a disgustingly overpriced Shield + Shield controller, a wired USB pad, a Stadia controller, a 360 pad with dongle (if this still even works in Android TV, it might be best), etc.
Doesn't help you troubleshoot further, but does IMHO answer your question.
Android has kind of crappy Bluetooth support. But also, USB3 is known to interfere with Bluetooth signals. It wouldn't shock me if something about the charging process or cable is exacerbating your lag. Can you replicate the lag when playing over Bluetooth while the phone is not charging?
Either way, you could try something like this between your phone and charger. I don't think the HDMI output would work w/ Pixel3, but the rest should be fine and allow you to use a wired gamepad or whatever while charging.
No prob, if you want to switch it on and off add this since there is no power button, once it's plugged in it's on, the Blue Yeti i have doesn't have a power button either so it seems common now.
You can get them from ebay as well just make sure they are data and power as some are power only for usb fans.
If you're using a shield pro's USB ports - they're 3.0 and sometimes cause issues with accessories like a mouse or keyboard. I ended up getting a USB 2.0 4 port hub and it fixed the issues I was having (similar to yours).
Here's the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BWF5U0M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I had a great experience with Mullvad vpn, and manually selecting an m247 hosted server. I could not tell the difference with it on or off while playing via GFN. It was just a test however over the course of a couple of hours just to see how it performed.
Try this first as this is the easiest option but results may vary depending on how much noise you get.
If coax is available, you can also try purchasing MoCA adaptors. I've used these before with good success.

The 8Bit Pro Duo 2 because it works with literally every device imaginable, has programmable buttons, and profiles where you can jump to different bluetooth connects with the slide of a switch and not having to go through repairing every time. Also, it has USB-C and a 20+ hour battery run time. Nothing comes close to it in my opinion.
All of the Far Cry games are quite heavily reduced atm, you could probably get two.
Edit: scrap that, they're too heavily reduced that the voucher isn't valid. Now I'm trying to find a good £15 game.
Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated is supported via the Epic Games Launcher store version, I don't own it on the Epic store though.
Get ARK (free on Epic Games rn: https://www.epicgames.com/store/es-ES/product/ark/home?sessionInvalidated=true). I can recommend you a very nice server and Discord that hopefully will get you some company (even if you don’t play it)
The Enhanced version requires RTX GPU and provides improved performance and graphics. Link
Hi, I finally worked out, thanks to the help of other Redditors, that it was due to MOS. MOS is a great mouse utility that I thoroughly recommend that gives smooth scrolling for Chrome etc while using Logitech mouses on Mac.
However it disrupts scrolling on GeForce Now. Solution is easy: Open MOS settings, and add GeForce Now to the exemption list, so that MOS turns itself off while GFN is running. All should be fine now.
(PS you may need to uninstall Logi Options [which is shit anyway. Install it, set mouse button options, then uninstall it with great prejudice] or any other third party mouse tweaking utilities. )
This is why I've switched over to Shadow.tech now. Fair bit pricier (considering I'm founders) but performance seems way better. Another downside is you have to install all the games yourself, but at least you can mod.
Also nice to be able to turn an ipad w/ KBM into a little windows 10 machine
How about your ping results? I've 4G 15GB limited plan from Vodafone. I get avg speed like 50/20 mbps. Speedtest 4G result GFN mobile network result
One other solution for folks like me without gaming setups is playing on my Mac and using moonlight to stream to Apple TV. Hypothetically Stadia could do 4K 60fps, and GeForce 1440p. Maybe worth a try if native apps continue to be poor.
There is an easy trick thanks to a wonderful open source program.
Simply enable developer mode on your TV (you get there the exact same way as any other android device, google is your friend).
Then use scrcpy with tcp/ip: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
You will be able to control your TV from your PC with your mouse and keyboard.
Another very nice feature of that wonderful prog is that to install .apk on your Android system (your TV in this case) you simply have to drag&drop the .apk on the scrcpy window.
You can still use a wireless Xbox controller the Chromebook will work for it as well via Bluetooth or wired. Any new one will work. The older ones don't have Bluetooth but if your buying new it's fine. Try eBay as well if you want used just make sure it has Bluetooth. The first gen Xbox one controller didn't have it basically in 2013.
This is the basic one but it will work fine

This is what i wanted to use it on
I usually wire in using a usb cable get rid of that tiny input lag on bluetooth.
USB cables are cheap so you can get a long one to reach the shield and still keep it neat looking in the room.
Once you plug in, it will swap over to sending the commands over the usb cable instead, plus it will keep the controller charged as well
Looks like a 25ft micro usb cable is 6.99 on amazon but you can ebay or get those wherever

Lot of games that are not ''oficially supported work''. Can you confirm if Aporia has cloud saves ? They dont advertise them on Steam but on PCGamingWiki it says it has.
If anyone wasnts to buy Aporia its bundles with some other games on GreenmanGaming: Feb Five Pack 5. I have suspisios suspicious feeling that Shockrods might work but its not known if that one has Steam Cloud or not.
Both Control and Metro Exodus are currently part of the Sale at the EGS and qualify for the additional discount. Idk about Canadian prices but here in Europe I paid 28,99€ for Control. Hesitated to buy it for PS4 Pro the week before and couldn’t be happier about it now, it runs great on GFN with all videos settings maxed out - and unlike Division 2 it actually saves those settings.

I am using the input lag tweak mentioned at the bottom of the notes. Also, there is a patch (that I wrote like 5 hours ago) in the pipeline that will likely bring image quality on par with Windows (when vsync is disabled) for a number of people when some version of it is added to lutris, although that will only apply to new installs of GFN after it is added.
It is a work in progress, so the experience is not quite on par with Windows (your polling rate issue excluded), but it is getting there. It has only had a working lutris installer for a week.

Hey, would you mind telling me how you installed the genuine chrome from app store? I downloaded one from here: https://apkpure.com/pl/google-chrome-fast-secure/com.android.chrome
I'm assuming this is the one you mean? If so, I'm not sure how to install the XAPK file. I read somewhere that this is just a zip for other files, so I changed the file extension to .zip, unpacked it, and installed the chrome apk that was inside. Unfortunately on this one I'm still getting the same 0xC0F2220E error. I tried it on both Quest 1 & Quest 2 with the same results.
So I'm kinda hoping that the reason might be the incorrect way of installing Chrome, and that there is some other magic way to install the XPAK file that will make everything better :D
In an off chance that is not the case, do you mind sharing your Oculus software version on which it works for you? This might also help debug the issue.
What is your ethernet speed in mbps? Use Fast.com as its the most reliable speed tester. Are you running anything in the background, like a browser, steam, a streaming service, download? How many people are using your wifi when you are using the service, because that will affect it.
Why the fuck do you think I don't know the difference between ROM and RAM? I'm just saying that gaining a few hundred MBs doesn't really matter much in the grand scheme ot things. Even the lowest tier of modern PCs come with 4GB of RAM and what, 256GB of hard disk space?. That's enough for a shitty fat JS "oh noes the number of lines!" Electron app.
> Async is not multithreading. Nor are js routines. Nor has concurrence. I'm guessing you don't even know what multithreading is.
You seem to have no knowledge of JS. It's a shitty language, i get it, but it does multithreading, as well as async(natively)
https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html
Basically the same thing as Python.
We're talking about WebRTC because that's what Stadia uses, and iirc Nvidia's Chromebook client will use it. But i guess you know better than either Google or Nvidia because you use fancy words like pointers and ROM(which of course has no bearing to a PC and the space it has, but sure) and assume that you're talking to a webdev who can't tell their ass from a stacktrace.
Nvidia's customer support is the worst I've ever encountered. It consists of a bunch of lazy idiots (I'm not exaggerating). They are so useless..
Check out their trustpilot page, and see how bad they are: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.nvidia.com
While I don't have a definitive answer for you I would suggest running speed tests. For me there is a [Network Test] link under my Server Location settings. I'd start there and also do a generic internet speed test just for good measure.
- Test network via GFN client on both 4G and Hotspot then compare
- Run internet speed test via speediest.net or speedof.me on both 4G and Hotspot then compare.
I always prefer to control the controllable and the truth is (almost) always in the data.
Cheers
I hate to do this and I probably shouldn’t but tbh if you connect through a vpn through a city that has the game properly updated then you can play no problem. For instance I’m ising NordVPN and I’m connecting through Miami to play the game. If I connect through my reg area it will kick me for anti cheat 🤷♂️

I think you should try other VPNs like Norton Secure VPN, Surfshark.
The Pro is also on sale for $180. They're on sale everywhere, not just Amazon, so pick your favorite retailer.
Say what you will about 4k being limited to the Shield, they are some of the best media players out there.
The Shield Pro does support a USB dongle, you just need to do it through USB 2.0, instead of the Pro's 3.0 ports. I'm currently using it for my K/M combo through logitech's lightspeed connectors.

While browsing again I notice view sonic has an amazing deal on their 1440p display right now. Previously It was pretty expensive but this is deal is really good. Was $380USD but now $239USD.
I got you bro, If you have a monthly data cap I recommend sticking with your 1080p display and if you don't have a cap I recommend getting a 1440p 144hz display IPS, you can set the display to 120hz, and if you eventually build a PC you got a nice modern monitor anyway plus even next-generation mid-tier GPU's will be able to handle 1440p 144hz pretty decently if not easily.

Some recommendations Acer has a really nice IPS 27" 1440p 144hz display priced really well and LG has a nice non-nano IPS display which is cheaper than the Nano IPS variant.

Based on what you name it, you can use the Alexa app on your phone when you're away to start it up.
When you say PC I assume you’re using a windows rig. Windows = Microsoft = Xbox, therefore virtually all gamepads will be called Xbox controllers in Windows. That’s okay and the PlayStation controllers work fine if you use an app like:http://ds4windows.com/ This allows you to configure you’re PS controller but GFN will always see it as an Xbox controller. Just the way it is.
Ok. What I did is download the latest version. it’s 02/02/20 version. here’s the link. that’s the one I’m using. So uninstall the one you have and use apps2fire to install this one. It should work. It shouldn’t ask you to update if you are using the latest version.
It is a remix of a case and the controller mounts. Here is the link to my remix, in the detail section you'll find the links the to original designs, fully credited https://www.tinkercad.com/things/7PYlRrPhGV9 Cheers!
Those would be some very data-heavy products. While GeForce NOW only needs to care about save files, many of which are hosted in cloud service already, there's no way they'll let you upload hundreds of gigs, if not terabytes, of video data. The closest thing I can think of would be something like Shadow Tech (https://shadow.tech), but they have limited configuration options and what they do have is outdated.
There are services like Shadow Tech that allow you rent a high end computer and install whatever you want. However, they have had some trouble getting enough capacity to meet the demand. You can't sign up and get a machine at this point.
Personally I think the publishers are being short-sighted on this. I really don't understand why they would want a smaller market for their game. Allowing game streaming opens a whole new market of people for them to sell their games to.
JUST sign up to shadow.tech
you get your own virtual PC for around 15€/month where you can installe everything from steam to xbox game pass... every game you bought you are able to play on your shadow PC just like on your local machine.
shadow for PC/Mac/android/ios
only bad thing,... acccounts are sold out for months
I have my own two 10Gbps servers. One in Germany and one in Finland, I use these to test my internet. I use Iperf3, allows me to absolutely saturate the connection. (fast.com caps out at 2Gbps)
​
Unfortunately CityFibre are not in my area, (BH22). The issues I am having doesn't appear to be directly with my ISP (SSE Broadband who use Vodafone) but rather with Zayo.com who are the ones who do the peering for GFN, most IPSs in the UK are routed through there. I'm. currently setting up a VPN to bypass potentially, I'll let you know how it goes
I'm on virgins 500mb plan does the job but BT will be solid but that being said ISP's here should not be throttling you they are not allowed to do that anymore.
EE, TalkTalk, PlusNet, Sky etc etc are all BT Wholesale btw so if you having issue's it could be something else best thing to do is talk to your ISP and get them to run a line check.
fast.com is the best speedtest too.
Check out CityFibre - The UK's alternative digital infrastructure provider I think they are in your area now.
What most likely happens is that GeforceNow is taking too much of your wifi signal causing it to crash somehow. This could be because there are many devices connected to the wifi. You can try turning off other devices connected to the network.
If you do not use wifi at all and you're connected, then it would be better to call the ISP. One last try you can do before this is to restart your router. Make sure to do a check at fast.com to check if you have fast enough internet aswell.
It's a possibility. Have heard that is why Netflix created Fast.com. Same thing happens with hotel wifi where traffic to speed test sites are prioritize to make it looks like you are getting fast speeds.
It's possible your ISP is throttling you. Have you tried fast.com? That is going to Netflix's servers so harder for your ISP to isolate and make it look like you're getting high speeds.
5h to play 1h?
Not worth it!
Solution:
- Go to ProtonVPN.com or install Proton VPN app on your phone.
- Create an Free Proton account (email account)
- Start the program (or app) and connect to any free server from USA
- Launch game on GFN
- See if your time limit is not more than 5 minutes
if (not)
- Close the game
- Change VPN server
- Try again
if (not again, and again, and again)
- Try another time of the day
else
- Wait until the game load and disconnect from VPN to play on your normal network
Works for me!
You're possibly overlooking an important detail about the availability of the GOG versions of the Witcher and Cyberpunk games on GFN, and why GOG versions of other games aren't available. And that's CDPR. GOG.com did not decide to make their versions of those games playable on GFN, CDPR did.
Just played for a bit using the GOG.COM account. Everything went pretty smoothly after a couple hiccups before getting to login.
Good job!
Now off to bed. Maybe tomorrow I'll catch a free slot ;)
First of all, AMAZING NEWS!
THNX NVIDIA and GOG/CD Projekt Red!
Second, there is an observation at the text of the original post, inside GOG.com site:
The GOG.COM version of Cyberpunk 2077 will be playable via GeForce NOW on December 10th - GOG.com
It seems, only English will be available for GFN at the first days, and it is probably not just for GOG version, but, playing day 1 is always amazing news!
Yeah all HDMI ports are turned on for HDR. I bought this HDMI cable to use with the shield tv which I thought should be good enough (Zeskit Cinema Plus 3ft 4K High Speed with Ethernet 22.28Gbps HDMI 2.0b Cable, 4K 60Hz HDR ARC 4:4:4 HDCP 2.2 https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07L9T7N1W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_KKMPNVWZPK04MBP0NA37?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1)
I am playing the GoG version of the game. I thought there is no need/option to enable HDR on the shield tv, but on the tv setting itself.
https://joystickmapper.com/ Would be the closest equivalent. I use it for some games which wont recognize my controllers (second controller for overcooked 2).
However, ds4 support should work in the first place, and buying this app shouldn't be needed.
YESSSS! Kinguin.com sells them. My roommate bought a code from there about 6 months ago, $15 USD, and some sites sell it cheaper. He used Kinguin because we purchase games on there regularly and have never been screwed!
Here is the simple answer, is the display you intend to primarily play on large enough to need 4K resolution to look good. If the answer is yes then get the Stadia version (you can find my link below for and extra month of "Pro" tier free giving you 2 months @ no cost). If not, then Cyberpunk 2077 will most certainly look and run better on GeForce Now @ 1080p. Anybody denying that is just plain ignorant.

The 30% wouldn't go to Apple if you don't use their payment processor to begin with, here, straight from apple:
>#Free with in-app purchase These apps are free for users to download and users can pay for additional digital features and content in the app with Apple’s In-App Purchase system. Developers earn 70% of sales from in-app purchases and Apple collects a 30% commission.
>#Free with subscription These apps are free to download and users can purchase auto-renewing subscriptions inside the app. If developers choose to sell digital subscriptions inside the app, they use Apple’s In-App Subscription system. In that case, developers earn 70% of subscription sales for the first subscription year, and Apple collects a 30% commission. After the first year, the developer earns 85% for all successive years that the user remains a subscriber, and Apple collects a 15% commission.
>#Paid These are apps that customers pay upfront to download from the store — and include free updates. Developers earn 70% of sales from paid apps and Apple collects a 30% commission.
They don't get the 30%, they don't have to budge if they don't want and if you don't do as they say you get no app.
Ok, yes the strong point of the switch is that is unnecessary had a Internet connection... Of course.
But you are a switch owner, and probably you know that exist some ports to the Nintendo console.
https://www.slant.co/topics/12165/~ports-for-the-nintendo-switch
Yes, the Nintendo library is huge and exclusive, but I am talking about the publisher that removed their games (Bethesda, Activision and other).
And look that coincidence, they have games available to the switch. The same games that you can buy on steam/epic/gog and etc.
Yes, I agree with you that probably doesn't exist a 4G mobile plan good enough to use the GFN without problems. But remember, in a few years the 5G Will be available in some country, and the 5G is fast enough to the cloud gaming.
+1
Huge dissapointment when I found out that I can't use my Logitech G29 with GeForce now.
Signed up for GFN instead of buying the next 4-year-gaming-laptop... I need to race again!
:)
Also: Could you add "Live for Speed" (https://www.lfs.net/) too?
Kerbal Space Program, a game about building rockets and getting them to space, and other planets and moons. Pretty good if you ask me! Sorry for the acronym.
Don't worry GFN missed that too.
The article you linked (and we all get exited to ) was posted on 29 April.
GFN didn't know their Windows Server 2016 do not support update 20 H2 till the moment they try to install Metro EE.
The requirement specs for the Metro EE was reveal on 12 April.
