What is Reddit's opinion of
Parsec?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
The media tour was done remotely due to COVID, but attendees weren't given a special client to download. Instead, a remote computer was running the media tour build and players controlled it through a streaming app called Parsec.
The discord notifications are unfortunately from the remote computer, likely the staff from the event who were assigned to monitor each attendee's gameplay and didn't realize their discord notifications were bleeding into recordings.
C'est la vie!
Well I sadly don't know of any, but I do use a program called "Parsec" that allows me to play multiplayer with friends which technically makes every single emulator have Cross Play NetPlay.
You basically stream your PC to your friends and if they have a Controller plugged into their computer your own PC will recognize said controllers.
Definitely check it out, it's been an amazing program for me!
Not sure how good your internet or their internet at home, but have you heard of parsec?
So long as you got 50 mbps+ of upload and a ping under 10ms it's almost like being on your PC at home (even in 1440p). Set up Parsec on your home desktop, and then you just need to have on hand a lower powered laptop with good WiFi or Ethernet, a screen, and your mouse & keyboard and you're good. Too late to set it up as a backup for this LAN though, but an idea for the future! ;)
High ping is a cause of lag dude. You ought to read a little about lag. Performance testing can only do so much. https://parsec.app/blog/whats-actually-causing-my-brain-to-detect-lag-in-games-73dbf4430834
Source: I'm a software developer and I use to work for an internet service provider.
hey there i found this a while ago and i will be damned if it's not THE best piece of software i have come across.
​
this software installs a tech kind of like rdp BUT it's blitz and real-time.
i game on my 2700x and 970gtx on my i7 13" laptop and i play competitive too
For remote play, yes, just add the game to Steam as a non Steam game.
For remote play together, yes with a workaround, basically you install a game that supports remote play together, and then replace that install with the install of the non steam game, and also rename the non steam games's executable to the same name as the Steam game.
Altneravitly there is Parsec for a similar function as Remote Play Together.
You do need a Windows or Mac based OS hosting Plex Server to use Plex Arcade. The files can be hosted anywhere, but Plex Arcade uses Parsec as back-end, hence no native NAS/Linux support.
https://support.plex.tv/articles/plex-arcade-faq/
I suggest if you are interested in remote gaming (via classic games or even modern ones), use Parsec directly. You don't even need to host your own server, Parsec Arcade (other peoples public hosted games) is fairly robust.
Nucleus-Coop just start multiple instances of Skyrim Together. So, if your friends own the game just directly use it.
For stream Nucleus-Coop to your friends, instead of Steam Remote Play you can use Parsec.
Might I recommend Tailscale or Zerotier?
Both are peer-to-peer mesh VPN apps that have worked very well in my experience (particularly behind CGNAT where it is impossible to forward ports).
You install the app on each device you want connected to a virtual network, and they each get a private, unique IP exposed to other devices with the app. Works super well for remote access, ssh, and file sharing.
I would also suggest checking out Parsec for remote desktop (which was initially designed for gaming, so it should work well for productivity/work)
Yes, it would be great for Epic to add more features, and they have been adding in more features. With that being said:
You can see the statistics, which is time played, on your library. If you are on the tiled view, press the 3 dots under the tile image.
There are many games with achievements already, with more to come. Epic is also developing the achievement system.
You can actually use Steamlink with non Steam games.
When it comes to remote play, I think it's better to use a system that specializes in it, which is Parsec, it is massively better then what Steam offers, and honestly, I would rather see Epic partner up with Parsec and put Parsec on their store instead.
Does anyone think this also includes things like Parsec (https://parsec.app) ?
Technically it's broadcasting keystrokes from a remote Laptop or PC to the main PC running WoW. But in my case it's not used for '...any means of mirroring gameplay across multiple WoW accounts'.
I just use it sometimes so I can run WoW on my old laptop when I'm on the go.
Connecting gameboys to Dolphin over not-LAN doesn't work. The connection was never made to handle latency, so at best Dolphin and mGBA will go at like 3 frames a minute.
What you CAN do is have someone host both Dolphin running the main game and all the mGBA instances, carefully arrange all the screens on your monitor, then use something like Parsec to stream the screens to everyone else.
mGBA tracks controller bindings in its config file, so make sure to set it to portable mode in the menu, then copy the mGBA folder once for each player. Once they connect in Parsec, open their mGBA instance and set their controls.
Assuming the host has non-terrible upload and everyone else has non-terrible download, it actually works quite well. It's definitely a manual process, but I've played coast-to-coast doing this without any troubles.
Here's a bit more detailed description. It's Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles based, but the guide can be adapted for any other game. Just replace VBA-m with mBGA
Gaming is, by far, the larger industry. It's over 5x the value of the film industry.
Regarding the USA: by hours engaged, film beats gaming by over 6x, if including things like YouTube videos.
About 2/3 of Americans play games. Just about everyone watches a little bit of TV or movies.

>But high local power will always be preferred by the creators.
So you can stream 60 fps game window, but can't stream 24 fps adobe premiere window?
Like https://parsec.app/teams ? I worked on a project from home where I had to stream workstation with 24 cores and 128 GB RAM just to run eDiscovery suite, so your argument is just so... bad.
Its basically like any remote viewer; RDP, TeamViewer etc. but their video is waaaaay better. It plays really well, dependant of course on your net + hardware, as you are effectively streaming your game to your buddies.
I have a 2 year old laptop and fibre and its nearly perfect. There isn't any configuration, you both have Parsec loaded. You host your game and invite your buddy (lots of different ways to do it) then when they connect you give them shared access to keyboard and mouse (click 2 icons) and you're done.
Parsec is pretty impressive for a number of things, including remote working. They were just bought by Unity.
Is the company moving away from the islands? Or is a matter of a single employee giving up?
Without knowing the details of what is not working, it can be a bit hard to help. But if it’s a regional issue (with the Canary islands being blocked), you could try to set up a virtual machine in AWS / Azure / GCP and use that as your workstation. Look into tools like paperspace or parsec for connecting to your computer.
When you get banned, you lose access to just Nintendo's services. You can still use everything else provided they do not require Nintendo servers, so as another user states, you need modded versions of non-Nintendo software which bypass Nintendo's required connections. You can still play games locally and can still connect to the internet using your Switch.
If you are banned and want to play online, there is also XLink Kai. This service allows you to play local and online multiplayer with hacked or non-hacked nintendo switches. Works with only select games. https://www.teamxlink.co.uk/wiki/Supported_Games#Nintendo_Switch
This was a frankenstein-assed crack idea a friend of mine had, but he theorized that you could play online with people by using Parsec and SkyNX homebrew.. He said one person sets up their hacked switch with SkyNX and streams on PC. Then, uses Parsec (connected to Discord) to stream "local" multiplayer to another user thus allowing them to control Player 2. We never tested it out.
> ... this would only be used on the local network for which it seems RDP is the best?
No, RDP is far from good enough when it comes to gaming (or even video editing). Try Parsec. It's free unless you need multiple monitors.
That said, you have not mentioned any reason why you want to virtualize the gaming VM. If you're not gonna use the host for anything else than gaming, why not just install directly on the machine and then install Parsec (and not worry about passthrough'ing anything)?
If you have powerful enough wifi in both locations, are willing to deal with some input lag / compression artifacts, and you have a laptop, then you might want to consider leaving your desktop at home and using a service like Parsec to remote connect to it. I won’t make a sales pitch on Parsec or anything, so here’s the link so you can judge for yourself: https://parsec.app
Ανακαλυψα το Parsec και η ζωη μου στο κρεβατι εχει αλλαξει.
Πλέον ανοίγω τον σταθερο υπολογιστή μου απο το λάπτοπ με wake-on-lan, και παιζω απο το λαπτοπ βαρια παιχνιδια που δε θα τα σηκωνε για κανενα λογο.
Οποιοι εχετε αδυναμο λαπτοπ και καλο υπολογιστη το συνιστω ανεπιφυλαχτα. Εχει λιγο latency, δεν ιδανικο για real time multiplayer, αλλα δε παιζω τετοια οποτε δε με πειραζει.

Also, thanks to this being a MUGEN game, you need to use Parsec to play online.
With older Intel Macs, you can dual boot between MacOS and Windows. Booting into Windows will be just like any other Windows machine. This includes gaming. However, unless the machine has a discrete GPU, most games won’t play as well as they would on a Windows gaming machine.
With Apple Silicon Macs, you can only run Windows for Arm in virtual machines or emulation. Playing x86 games in this manor is probably going to suck.
Personally, I have my M1 Mac and an older custom built Windows machine. When I want to game, I use Parsec to stream the output from Windows to my Mac and game that way. I experience very little latency with my internet connections. YMMV
Parsec might be your best bet. Made with gaming in mind, and remote use, so it's very fast.
I've also used AnyDesk but I don't know how it does over the internet, I've only used it locally for showing what I'm doing in Photoshop to someone.
Both of these are free. Any Desk is SUPER simple to get running, you don't even need to install it, just run the exe file and it gives you a number that someone else can type in to remote in to the computer, and you can easily disable the controls, so just share screen rather than allow mouse and keyboard use for example.
Oh, what you want is the default functionality of Remote play. Your steam must have different config. To fix it, you just make sure controller is enabled on the person you want to remote play with on the windows that opens up. If it keeps failing, you get always get (https://parsec.app/).
Another issue is if you're using an emulator convince your ps4(or other controller) is an xbox controller. Some game misread the input and detect one controller as 2
I want to say Parsec would work for this?
EDIT: Oh actually, that's more streaming the game and other people playing, unlike the others which is just a local virtual LAN. Sorry.
Teradici will only sell you PCoIP in 5+ licenses at a time. So we went with Parsec Warp which is only $8/mo per computer with no minimums.
https://parsec.app/pricing
Quality isn't quite up to PCoIP Ultra but it's very good and runs ok even on android + a TV in a pinch.
But yes Wifi should be avoided at all costs. Although I've run it over 4G\LTE on a Surface ok while working outside.
I got this same laptop at the same price a month ago, and I've been putting it through its paces. Initial impressions are very good, but keep in mind that the screen is both glossy and only 250 nits, so reading/viewing darker content while in well-lit rooms might be a slight challenge, and daytime outdoor visibility will be very difficult. I recommend installing Gamminator for a quick on-the-fly gamma solution when you're struggling with this.
Having said that, the screen is actually gorgeous in a dimly lit room, and while it's not exactly BlurBusters approved for refresh rate clarity, I'm fairly impressed with the response time even while playing fast-faced games like Quake, CS:GO, and Halo MCC -- which you can run very smoothly on low settings.
Also, if you use Parsec or Steam Streaming to play games streamed from your main home PC, I'm pleased to report that this processor keeps up with high-bandwidth full quality H.265 streams at full framerate, without breaking a sweat -- even on a decent WiFi AC connection!
war die Tage in den Nachrichten. Sind wohl eine Desktopsharing Software die gerne von Spielern genutzt wird wegen der geringen Latenz.
Dabei haben die ihre Software so gut gemacht, dass Unity (die von der Game Engine) Parsec für 300 Mio gekauft haben.
Habs selber noch nicht probiert. Hab früher immer über Mixxer meine Spiele an Freunde gestreamed. Die Latenz war minimal, hat Microsoft leider gekauft und eingestellt :P
I suggest using Parsec
Valve lets developers to determine if they want to have Remote Play Together or not.
But if you use Parsec it works for any shared/split screen game, from any store, and honestly I get better performance from Parsec then I do with Steam Remote Play Together so my friends and I use Parsec only and never use Steam's version even if the steam version has remote play together.
I also recommend Tales of games (a new entry, Tales of Arise comes in September! Single player unfortunately), you can try remote play together op, apparently it let's you play couch co-op games over the internet:
https://store.steampowered.com/remoteplay
Or Parsec, I know people who've used it and it works well:
Parsec.app ftw, been using it to game when out of the house for the past few months (while my shadow was on preorder)
Works very good, full benefit of RDP minus the downsides for gaming (mostly)
It's this guy, https://parsec.app/ and yes it can allow similar things to shadowplay and stadia, but lets you run your own clients. I use parsec for three computers that can support it and google remote desktop for the other two. Note parsec doesn't strictly support running multiple clients at once, I run one copy of the regular version, then have a couple folders where I install the 'portable' version of parsec and just rename the executable (2,3,etc).
Parsec tech is telling gamers how to do it themselves while SLGG tech does it all for you, you would just download their platform, Mobcrush or whatever they name it. From an article I read too apparently SLGG servers are fucking FAST. Like smoked what people thought they would.
What SLGG has that no one else does is the ability to scale with all the necessary tools from end to end user without having to use a middle man in any way. They control their pipeline, all they need is users, which in turn generates clients for ads
In order to use that Parsec tech you’d have to know how to download scripts and run them.
> after hours of hunting down (and failing to find) a method to play SNES online with friends
You could also use something like Parsec to play “local couch co-op” online with others on PC. It wouldn’t be limited to SNES either, you could play local multiplayer through online with pretty much any game. It’s also free!
How to Make ANY Game Online Multiplayer (Even Retro Games) | WULFF DEN
I see. My only suggestion is to maybe try Parsec. And then use this Parsec gaming client docker image.
Haven't tried this, just a shot in the dark.
I see.
Unfortunately, as stated earlier, it's not possible. The only upgrade path is to purchase a new laptop with the hardware specs you require.
Or, build a gaming PC. Then, you can use something like Parsec to game on your laptop using your desktop's more powerful hardware (if you wanted to game, but can't bring your laptop with you.
Oh, looks like the "moonlight" needs an Nvidia card [NVIDIA GeForce GTX/RTX 600+ series GPU or later] & doesn't work with AMD.
For AMD, try these two:
& it support rx5500:
or
I don't think any of these options would work for games that require motion controls, but I ended up using the classic Parsec or if you add Dolphin to Steam you can use RemotePlayWhatever, since it's only for "local couch coop" games it just works.
Here : https://parsec.app/downloads
What you need to do is download Parsec both on your Mac and your Shadow, start them and get them connected and then play through the Parsec client on your Mac. Parsec basically replaces your Shadow launcher once it is set up.
You will probably need to keep the Shadow launcher running in the background anyway because otherwise the 30min inactivity shutdown will kick in.
Parsec is a remote desktop app... most likely the combination is being sent over. In other words, the culprit is the application in itself as the other two respond just fine.
You can do this pretty easily using a raspberry pi 3 and parsec (https://parsec.app/).
Unfortunately, they don't have the client for raspberry pi 4, and I think the app only works on raspberry pi os buster (the newest one is bullseye).
The app is pretty easy to use. You just need to create an account with parsec and install the app on both your desktop PC and your raspberry pi.
There's lots of guides online. The app was originally designed for remote gaming, but you can basically do anything you want on your PC remotely. The latency is fairly minimal if you have a good connection on both sides.
I think that should be a sticky on reddit, steam and everywhere :D .
Developer is just a single person. He's no specialist in game netcoding etc. Until the game is fully released there won't be any attempts to create a truly native multiplayer. The maximum which we can somewhat expect for now is better parsec integration into the game.
And yes many people who actively play the game agree that developing better multiplayer is muuuuuuch more important than creating single player campaigns and other fluff stuff.
Definitely try playing local coop games, they are the best to get ppl together.
Try out this software that'll help you with that, or even Steam Play Together, which is basicaly the same thing.
Best remote desktop is Parsec it's designed to game on it. I have not used it on mac but soon will. From what I have seen it should work great. There is possible to have a slight lag but If you have stable connection on both
you want something like RDP/TS or VNC for LAN only but with better latency, higher frame rate and image quality... and even using OBS-Studio and local RSTP/RTMP server... or VLC with RTS... there is some latency in seconds. (I use all of them)
your best option is Parsec, I don't know any better... but it uses third-party servers.
Parsec (Windows, linux, macOS, android, Chrome, Raspberry Pi)
ps: compression is not a bad thing, it's even advantageous and required, but what you're looking for: really low latency, high frame rate, high image quality and lan only I don't believe there is. if you find something better than Parsec please let me know.
cheers!
Yeah. On pc install the client from here:
On android, install client from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.parsec.client
it's free and I can't recommend it enough. I use it everyday! Haven't tried it outside my house. Would require a highspeed internet connection outside your personal home network.
​
There's an app for smart tvs too, but I haven't had much luck with it. Noticeable input lag. To play on tv I usually connect my s21 ultra with a usbc hub to the tv and play with a bluetooth controller paired to my phone. I use the gamesir bluetooth.
I assume you are asking for some sort of remote desktop. Me and my friends have used an app called parsec (https://parsec.app/) with which you can control what parts of your computer the other person's input can control.
To be clear are you downloading it from this: https://parsec.app/downloads
Question 2. You say that it's a new pc. Is it new new or just new to you? What version of Windows are you running? Are you insuring the download matches?
When you say it crashes are you getting any error at all or does it just instantly freeze? Does it run for any amount of time or does it just immediately seize up?
Are you making sure that you're downloading the 64-bit version? Or if this is an older version of Windows 32 bit?
I don't remember how good AMD was in comparison to Nvidia in terms of latency, but other people are saying Nvidia is better in that regard. It makes sense as it's much quicker. That said, in my personal experience the difference in picture quality was rather stark (5600XT vs 2060). Nvidia simply has a better and faster encoder and twice the bandwidth. No matter what people tell themselves, this is a well established fact.
In liaison with MSP for a planning/architecture/landscape firm, we worked with our MSP trying various options since pandemic started and found the best experience for users is to have workstations in the office and let users remote control the workstations. We’re using Parsec (https://parsec.app). The size of our Revit files are usually 300mb+ and sometimes 500mb+. SQLite of Autodesk Infraworks sometimes exceeds 2gb and 3mins of uncompressed UHD videos from Infraworks can be over 200gb. If WFH staff’s connection speed is faster than 50mbps between home and office, it usually works quite well. The company also upgraded office’s internet speed to 1.5gbps to allow more WFH workers.
You can actually play this game in basically coop via Parsec (its similar thing to Steam Remote Play Together, but works for all games). I've been doing that for years now (also with XCOM, Jagged Alliance 2, Gears Tactics... pretty much anything turn-based and ideally squad based).
One player shares his screen and the second can control everything in the game simultaneously (although only one person can control the mouse cursor at one moment).
The way we play is that each player gets exclusive control of his half of the brothers on the battlefield (which is really easy since the combat is turn based) and on the strategic map we switch who is in control between battles (but we anyways usually agree on where to go next, which contract to do,what to buy, etc.)
I have to say it's much more fun to play the game together with a buddy than alone. Especially since we each name and customize our brothers and can discuss tactics in battle.
There's actually some solutions to this, whether you play on PlayStation, Steam, or any other PC storefront. I don't think Xbox has a feature like this though.
The easiest option is Steam Link. Steam will figure out routing whether you’re playing from within your network or remotely.
I’ve had a lot of success with using Moonlight as well. https://moonlight-stream.org/. There is a setup guide at the bottom that will walk you through how to use this. Caveat is that it will only work if you have an Nvidia graphics card.
The other option that has worked well for me is Parsec (https://parsec.app/). They focus on Remote Desktop solution, but it’s optimized for real time applications. They started as a solution for allowing people to play co-op pc games that did not have remote capabilities by allowing you to invite your friend to connect to your computer through Parsec. Since then, they’ve grown to support options for businesses and personal use cases. The only caveat is that they don’t support iOS yet. If you have an android phone or plan on playing from a laptop, though, this would be a great choice.
Look into https://parsec.app/ , I think it should work on your local(home) network and not require internet usage other than to login your account.
Assuming you can use the app on your TV.(using nvidia shield ? , android tv? etc)
Ubisoft also have a partnership with Parsec.https://parsec.app/blog/were-partnering-with-ubisoft-to-deliver-new-game-streaming-experiences-3af96afe5957
RDP would look good but no great smoothness)
I handed him a wireguard profile so I don't have open random port. And for streaming, I use Parsec as server on that Windows VM and he use Parsec also as the client, directly connect through my Wireguard VPN.
My opinion is that Parsec is the best option out there to stream game. Could have save 45GB if run Linux as VM, but there not good enough option for streaming server (especially I use AMD GPU) so it just makes the latency worse in that sense!
Try Parsec. It is low latency remote access software. You can play the game and stream it to your friend while also letting him play with you if the game has local multiplayer or he can take control himself for a little while.
Más allá de recomendaciones de juegos se me ocurren dos cosas.
Una es Parsec (https://parsec.app/), que es un aplicativo que te permite jugar juegos coop local por internet. Si no tiene buena pc o celular pero si tienen buena conexión es una buena idea.
Otra es la que tiran en este video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc3LGVi5Sio pero esto ya depende mucho de tu hardware.
As a child I played "Have a N.I.C.E. Day" with my friend in self-made co-op. Back then, we didn't have game controllers, so we used the keyboard and sat in front of the same screen. One of us was driving (we needed both hands, just to press 3 arrow-keys) and one of us would cycle through the weapons, shoot, repair and stuff... always communicating like "behind the next turn will be the long straight! I'll line the car up and you can shoot that guy!"
...good old times...
​
Using Parsec, this would be possible over the internet today.
Well they published this blogpost / video in 2017:
https://parsec.app/blog/parsec-game-streaming-total-latency-at-240-frames-per-second-c0818cc0daa5
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74TEs7D0ho8
They have an option to set it to 240 fps:
https://support.parsec.app/hc/en-us/articles/360045624911-Video-Stream-FPS-Setting
Quote: "You can increase it to 240 frames per second and lower it to 30 frames per second. Parsec is optimized for 60 frames per second and anything above that is experimental and will use a lot of bandwidth, so be careful."
But internal/your own LAN with Gbit Ethernet bandwidth should be fine(?)
Important question: Do you need to stream any sort of moving picture content? As in movies, video games, YouTube videos, etc.?
If no: Set up a DynDNS service for your home network, use your router to set up a VPN server (if possible) and connect to that from afar. You can then RDP into your PC from wherever you want with built-in tools.
If yes, or if either your router can't do it or you have a Home edition of Windows: Look into something like Parsec Steam In-Home Streaming (aka. Remote Play) with a workaround to show your whole desktop or Rainway
6MB? I used an official link: https://parsec.app/downloads
One thing I did do tho, I had Parsec opened and saw my PC name... I went into windows settings and changed my PC name to my liking (parsec still open). It required restart, I restarted the PC and now I have 2 windows accounts
I would just keep in mind that it's not really about 'speed' in the traditional sense, but quality why you should use a wired connection. Any potato WiFi router does 35Mbps, but the quality and responsiveness of a cable is in a different league.
I say this because just because it's wired and has theoretical speed of a gigabit or more, doesn't necessarily mean it won't have interference etc.. 99% of cases any 5e cable is enough, just don't wrap it around your Christmas tree while the Christmas lights are on.
Wrote this a long time ago https://parsec.app/blog/how-your-wifi-band-impacts-low-latency-connections-9f1e538a63dd
If you're on PC try Parsec! My partner and I have been using it for Salt and Sanctuary and are planning on trying Spiritfarer. The host needs to have a controller to use, but it lets you use your partner's keyboard input for the game remotely. They're still working on the audio so it clips a little with discord calls, but it's FAR better than steam's remote play together.
THey have been working on getting it, Mac hosting has been released and is in beta. https://twitter.com/parsecteam/status/1189682101257482248?lang=en
They have admitted themselves, its a want, and in the pipeline: https://parsec.app/blog/dev-community-diaries-turning-parsec-into-the-ultimate-home-console-5e95f9ac951d (very final paragraph)
they have posted it on here (i cannot find the post or link but its somewhere) that Linux Hosting is next on the list (as Windows is good enough and mac is beta, they were tackling the hardest last with linux.. ) its in the pipeline, fuck knows when though.
and as far as even the linux client goes, the lack of 265 on it is just horrible. :/ so I (opinion here!) have very little faith we will see Parsec linux hosting this year in 2022.
Basically, you just get another computer, no peripherals, and put it under your desk.
Then you connect to it remotely, so you can use it like your current computer, with something like Parsec.
It's cheaper long term, and should actually save space; you don't need to have a laptop out where you can see/interact with it.
Over on Parsec arcade I have seen It Takes Two being up on there. You don't need to purchase anything, just need to join in when someone who does own the game gets onto Parsec Arcade.
Download the app
and when in the app click on the "arcade" button. You will see what games are available to play..

Can I use a controller connected to my pc to input onto my switch in anyway?
recently i discovered that you can use parsec to stream your game to and friend and use a device to allow them to use a controller and input onto the switch as well. However my issue is that not only am i not using a Xbox 360 controller like the one shown in the video i would also rather not spend money on this. Was trying to find out if there was a way
https://parsec.app/
it's a computer app that lets you connect to other people's computers from long distances away. Both players need it installed but after that both players can control the host's computer as if it we're right in front of them. It's infinitely better than the stock netcode dbfz has. However, from my experience it won't work if one of you guys are a keyboard player as the game recognizes keyboard differently than gamepads.
​
TL,DR: better alternative to dbfz online.
also I agree with foregoing local scenes for the time being due to the current world situation. I'd recommend joining local scenes via their discord server's as well. See what people are saying. I live in a fairly urban populous city meaning I have a lot of options for online discord communications. A few good universities and a local scene can drive up interactions and knowledge sharing of game mechanics.
as for your team, don't ever feel obligated to stick with it. It's all about experimentation and seeing what works best for you personally. There's an almost infinite number of team combinations you can make and see what works best with what you want out of that team. If you want to spam level 7's all day as ssj4 gogeta. Experiment and see which assists' help you best in getting to that level 7. 16 and piccolo aren't the only characters that can help with that. Keep playing with friends and never shy away from asking other people for help. Also, in regards to kid buu. He is definitely an oddball character from the rest of the cast due to his weird mediums. But remember, he's not the only character out there.
If you don't want to move, you can get a free remote desktop app like Parsec, or google's remote desktop chrome app, or teamviewer, and remote in that way to log in while at work.
While I don't have a specific game suggestion, I do have a piece of software to suggest. My husband and I often have local co-op games with no online mode. To play these (and expand our options) we use Parsec (https://parsec.app/). This is for PC and would enable you two to play a game on the other's computer from yours.
It depends on your necessary precision.
For a "remote access" tool:
Seem to be the two big ones.
And I can smell, that we're going to need some wiki entries on this shit. :D
Interesting.
I have never used remote controlled robots (obviously), but 200ms would make remote controlled games unplayable (think VR or something like https://parsec.app/) and I assumed remote controlled robots would be the same.
Yes, if you have an Nvidia GPU look up Moonlight streaming.
If you have an AMD GPU look up Parsec
Switched from DOS to MacOS 6 in the early 1990s. Then from MacOS to Windows in 1997 or 1998. Started using a Mac again with the M1 Mini. However, I still use Windows as well. Mostly for gaming and because a client's VPN doesn't get along with my Mac. To access my Windows machine, I use Parsec. I mainly got the Mac because I wanted a POSIX compliant CLI. In regards to GUI, I find them MacOS and Windows similar enough that there isn't much of a distinction. Each has its own quirks but they are easy enough to switch between.
I even use a bit of Linux with my web servers. While, I am interested in a Linux GUI Desktop, I know that it will be a productivity killer for me. I'll always be distro hopping to find the greener grass. So I'll leave it on my web servers and access via command line.
Try Parsec, it’s free and compatible with most Steam games with a multiplayer mode included. Here’s an article on their website specifically about online multiplayer in old Lego games and how to get it running, hope it helps! https://parsec.app/blog/play-lego-games-online-with-your-friends-on-parsec-b54654e2ed33
GeForce Now is what I use when I want a few minutes of play on my Macbook Air. I still haven't tried Parsec as was recommended in the previous thread.
Sure you need your own PC to stream but you get full control and mod support.
I have the solution for you. Cheap and effective. Few years ago I was able to use Parsec on a Raspberry Pi 3 , you can buy one for less than 100CAD.

Any CPU made in the last 5+ years will have zero issues decoding an xbox cloud stream. It's a 1080 stream that maxes out at around 15mbps. Hardware AVC/265/264 decoders have been built into CPUs and GPUs for years now. We're not talking about 4k 50mbps streams that require pretty dedicated decoding power. You literally don't even need a dedicated GPU; the on-board GPU in all modern CPUs can handle 265/264/AVC video decode, especially at 1080 low bitrate like xcloud. It's been industry standard for a long time now.
https://parsec.app/blog/what-we-learned-about-cloud-gaming-from-the-stadia-launch-9ca508e530b > h.264 hardware accelerated decoding became standard on most devices in 2012 and 2013 while h.265 hardware accelerated decoding became standard on Nvidia GPUs and iPhones in 2015 and Intel integrated GPUs in 2016. With hardware refresh cycles happening about once every 5 years for computers and once every 3 years for mobile devices, almost every device in circulation in the United States and Europe will have a specialized chip to decode h.265 in 2020 or 2021.
So yeah, if your PC is like 10 years old and/or has an older gen CPU and an even older GPU, then a cutting edge video codec might cause it issues, but I think xcloud (like most other cloud streaming services) is using h264 right now... My 8-year-old gtx 750ti supports hardware h264 decoding.
The biggest bottleneck, and the source of 99% of streaming issues, is internet connection. There's essentially NO buffer. A youtube video can have a buffer up to 30 seconds or more, so internet spikes, lags, etc won't impact playback. Cloud gaming requires an extremely steady/constant internet stream to avoid issues.
I bought and M1 Mini last November. I've been using it most of the time to do my work. The shell and command line are much nicer than trying to wrangle WSL under Windows. That is the primary reason that I switched.
However, I still use my Windows machine for some purposes. It is sitting right next to my desk. It still has a full peripheral setup and all the GUI apps that I used to use. However, if I need to connect to it most of the time, I just load Parsec (https://parsec.app/) on my Mini and remote into it. Even do this for gaming most of the time.
yes exactly it's like an optimized version of teamviewer im using the free version at least for now, though im considering the paid.
i started using it about a year ago and am still very happy with it. https://parsec.app/
The issue is the AMD Gpu.
I had the same GPU, I went upto a 5700 XT and it persisted. Both the quality and encode times were not great on AMD.
My mate, who also had an AMD card copied my setup to the same effects, however, he was FULL AMD and used it for both encodes AND decodes which added a whopping 40MS onto the game being served, now addon your screen delays (4ms) and mouse clicks, it ballooned out to very noticable performance.
Sadly, this was a lesson learnt the hard way, I love AMD stuff (always have) but when I moved towards Encoding on their stuf, by jeese, it was not great. Parsec themselves even noticed this themselves in their blog: https://parsec.app/blog/nvidia-nvenc-outperforms-amd-vce-on-h-264-encoding-latency-in-parsec-co-op-sessions-713b9e1e048a
Our streaming lord EposVox has a comparison video between them all here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccoOGfX9qxg
Further reading about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25138291
I moved from my 5700 to a Q2200p Nvidia Quadro, it made a difference in both quality and encode time, from there moved upto a A4000 (latest gen Quadro) and that has given me a bump aswell too, so really, it boiled down to one thing, if you are working with Video, AMD is not great. :(
My advice You have a KabyLake CPU, use that for encodes (it should be faster and also clearer image quality than AMD.
Nvidia are the Fking worst when it comes to consumers, but what other choice is there till Intel's GPU range drops.. I'm hoping to score one just to play with and test! :D
TLDR; its the AMD GPU (encodes) in this case, same shit I had. either use an alternative encode method if you can (intel cpu) or try another GPU.
A lot of people are suggesting Steam In-Home Streaming but I found Parsec to be a better experience, especially over WiFi: https://parsec.app/
There is 4K support but I have stuck with 1080p for now and its been great.
The error is related to when using the web version of parsec, there isn't documentation on it, let your friend use the native app , should eliminate the problem https://parsec.app/downloads
None!
Parsec can be used completely free of charge. Warp and Teams are really for professionals who need extra, specific features for certain workloads, but the streaming tech is the same whether paid or not.
For a full breakdown and chart of the differences you can go here: https://parsec.app/warp
But in short, if you’re just looking to game Parsec is totally free and you can go right ahead and download it
I suggest you buy a cheap pc on ebay or whatever that has better performance than your laptop, then use something like Parsec to remote into it. https://parsec.app/warp
If you already have a PC, then you're good to go with Parsec etc
I use Parsec for gaming and it handles 60fps. Just install it on both machines and you'll be able to connect to them.
If you have a separate monitor you can also use Barrier. This lets you use one keyboard and mouse with two computers over the network. Because it's a local network connection it's ultra-low latency.
I've been able to pass through an AMD and Nvidia graphics card using Qubes following this: https://neowutran.ovh/qubes/articles/gaming_windows_hvm.html
There are other threads here in Reddit and in Github that talk about this too.
I didn't try gaming but everything worked perfectly, except the VM that I passed-through the 1070 to. It became unusable after I also passed-through the MB's usbs to it for some reason. I bought the card used so that might be why, but idk. No issues at all with the 5600xt.
A problem that I did run into, however, was that the VM would crash when installing the drivers. What got me through this was to download the drivers as soon as you are able after installing Windows, then shutdown the VM, then duplicate the VM and disconnect the duplicate to the internet, then install the drivers. For some reason, disconnecting it to the internet did the trick.
Let me know if that works for you.
I've actually tried what you suggested a couple of years ago. You can't game on RDP, and the reason is that RDP does not lock your mouse position (I can't remember the terminology, but it is a known issue where games require that the mouse be locked in place or something of that affect). RDP does not allow you to do that, so you can't really game like that. I tried Parsec and that was successful actually, but the video quality suffers a lot.
You can also do it with the various remote desktop applications instead of steam. The subreddit discord is fond of using parsec.app, which works quite well.
But that's a real cute way of using Steam's remote play :)
Linus Tech Tips has some great videos of you'd like to familiarize yourself with the basics of laptops! This video linked isn't specific to graphic design, but is a nice intro.
For Graphic Design education, I'd be prepped to pony up some cash for a good one. They are already paying boatloads of money for the classes, so their tools should be close to top of the line if possible. Color accuracy and resolution of the laptop display are significant points to consider too.
I bought an expensive Sony laptop for my freshman year in college, but it only lasted me a couple of years before the motherboard needed a replacement due to a bum charging port, which was a pain.
In contrast, I wound up building a much beefier desktop in my Junior year that lasted me the next 8 years, and I was able to easily upgrade it over the course of that time for a fraction of the cost of less powerful laptops.
With new tech like Parsec, you can potentially even get the best of both worlds. Build a robust, upgradable desktop computer with a nice color accurate display, and then log in remotely via an inexpensive laptop or tablet as needed.
I'd personally urge you to at least check out desktops, as they will cost less and give way more flexibility in the long term vs laptops. You can connect multiple displays, swap/keep components as needed, etc.
>I'm getting a Steam Deck, but if I were getting an Intel device I'd probably consider using a Core X I have with it sometimes. As it stands probably what I will do instead is use Steam Link and use the discrete GPU over stream instead of over TB3.
This is what I decided to do. I was waiting on retail units for the Win 3 and OneXPlayer when the Steam Deck was announced. Had originally planned to turn my 3080 into an eGPU and sell the other components to help fund the purchase.
With the performance hit of the eGPU and how cheap the Steam Deck ended up being, I decided to just leave my desktop as-is and go with the Steam Deck and Steam Link/Parsec for ultra-fidelity on the go.
An alternative to installing Windows or hoping for Steam support could be to stream from your Windows device using something like Parsec (linklink). If I get the Steam Deck this is probably what I'll try.
A small fix for you is to use Parsec. Just invite the fourth player through Parsec. Keep in mind, Parsec is considered a local co-op platform, so you would have to either use half of your keyboard or have one of you to use a controller. You can configure what your friend can control, usually, I just enable the keyboard and disable the mouse and gamepad (controller) if they were using a keyboard. It works as any local co-op game would. However, beware if you enable the mouse they can control your cursor. Additionally, connect to a stable internet connection because it might get laggy for the player.

My original reply:
u/unknownclient78, did you try Parsec with a client device that has a decent modern cpu and fast ethernet connection? I would still agree that no matter what when it comes to twitch competitive online gaming, nothing is ever good enough, not even the baremetal and peripherals a person currently has lol. However, I'm not sure most people have that use case when thinking of streaming games on their home network. (Most people)
Ive been using parsec with great results. I have the game running on my pc, and can hop on through my phone or laptop anywhere i have good internet.
The only problem ive ran into is having to disconnect any controller (game pad) from your PC in order for parsec to recognize another controller from wherever you're streaming.
Hope this helps!
Hey there!
In about a month I'll have to move to another city for about two months, during which time I'll be away from my desktop and will only have my MacBook Pro (M1) on me. For that reason I was looking into remote gaming solutions, and I remembered Parsec from what feels like a few years ago. At the time it was still very new, but looked quite promising to me.
Is Parsec currently the best option out there, or is there anything else you'd recommend? I'll try it out regardless over the next days, from several locations and such, but is there anything else you think I should try out as well?
Thanks a lot!
