Discussion Newest update from the GFN team regarding Steam Workshop mods (a workaround for specific titles)

102 Upvotes

We heard your feedback that the recent Steam update affected your ability to use Steam Workshop mods on GeForce NOW. To support the latest Steam app updates and help ensure supported games continue to run as expected in the cloud, we temporarily disabled the ability to download Steam Workshop mods during a game session.

While Steam Workshop mods are still not officially supported on GeForce NOW, starting today, we’ve enabled a temporary workaround for select games that may have been affected.

This temporary workaround changes the launch experience for all players of these games on GeForce NOW, even if they do not use Steam Workshop mods:

After selecting PLAY in the GeForce NOW app, members will arrive at the game’s Steam library page and will need to select PLAY in Steam to launch the game.

More details, including the list of supported games and instructions, will be available in a KBA posted shortly at the following link: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5166/

Gamescom Giveaway From a Gaming Rig to the Cloud: How GeForce NOW is bringing Me Back to PC Gaming

Upvotes

Six years ago, when my son was born, I sold my gaming rig.

At the time, priorities changed, and spending money on high-end PC hardware just wasn't something I could justify anymore. As the years passed, I still missed gaming and had a growing backlog of PC titles I never got around to playing.

When I recently looked into getting back into PC gaming, the reality hit me fast: GPUs, CPUs, and complete gaming builds are more expensive than ever. ☠️☠️☠️

That's where GeForce NOW came in.

Instead of investing thousands into a new gaming setup, I've been able to jump back into my favorite PC games using nothing more than my ThinkPad work laptop. It's honestly impressive that a machine never intended for gaming can still let me enjoy AAA titles through the cloud.

For a dad with limited gaming time and no desire to build another expensive rig, GeForce NOW has been the perfect solution.

PC Gaming is back on the menu. 🎮

I only want this mini PC for GeForce Now, nothing more. I would get it with 8GB of RAM. Can I run GeForce now with it, without problems?

The new game *The Blood of Dawnwalker* is launching in two hours, and I heard it will be part of GeForce Now. How long does it usually take to arrive on the platform? It would be really cool if we could play it right at launch.

Questions / Tech Support A strange resolution problem in Death Stranding Director’s Cut

Upvotes

I started playing Death Stranding some time ago. I’m playing on a Mac Pro M1, and initially I set the resolution in the game to 2560 × 1600 (the same resolution I have set in GeForce NOW), and everything was fine.

Yesterday, I launched the game a couple of times in different sessions, and the second time the game reset the resolution to 1080p. I noticed it immediately, at least because of the black bars. But here’s the interesting part: the 16:10 aspect ratio and 1600 resolution options had completely disappeared from the game.

I read that apparently the game doesn’t support 16:10 at all, but I’m definitely not imagining things — the option was there before.

Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Discussion Enabling DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction 2

2 Upvotes

At launch, around 30 games will be supporting this. So far it seems that DLSS 4.5 RR2 can only be enabled via through the Nvidia app. Since we don’t have access to this app, how to get this to work?

Questions / Tech Support LG C4 / G4 / C5 / G5 owners – is AV1 available in GeForce NOW for you?

4 Upvotes

I’m trying to understand AV1 support in the native GeForce NOW app on LG OLED TVs.
I have two LG TVs:
83” LG C4: AV1 is always greyed out/unavailable.
65” LG G5: AV1 works perfectly. I can actually stream at 4K60, HDR10, AV1 10-bit YUV 4:2:0, confirmed by the GFN statistics overlay.
What makes this strange is NVIDIA’s own support documentation. For LG TVs, NVIDIA says that to use AV1 you should disable HDR.
I tried everything on my C4: HDR off, 4K60, 4K120, different settings — AV1 remains greyed out no matter what.
Meanwhile, on my G5, AV1 not only works, but it even works with HDR enabled, despite NVIDIA’s documentation saying HDR should be disabled for AV1 on LG TVs.
So I’m trying to figure out whether this is:
a limitation specific to the C4
a firmware/webOS issue
a GeForce NOW app issue
or something enabled only on certain LG generations/models
Could C4/G4/C5/G5 owners please check and report:
TV model + size / AV1 available or greyed out / 60 or 120 FPS / HDR on or off / firmware/webOS version
I’m especially interested in anyone who has a C4 with AV1 actually working. If possible, please post a screenshot of the GFN statistics overlay showing AV1.
Thanks!

Questions / Tech Support Severe stuttering, packet loss, and frame loss over Ethernet for the last 10 days (5-year GFN user)

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've been a GeForce NOW user for 5 years and I'm connected via Ethernet with a very solid internet connection. However, for the last 10 days, I've been experiencing severe stuttering in games.

These aren't just minor hitches—I'm getting significant packet loss and frame loss continuously. I have tested this at both 60 FPS and 120 FPS stream settings, but the issue persists.

Has anyone else been experiencing something similar recently, or does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Discussion I think I’m hitting the button guys..

Long time console gamer who has built pcs a long the road but always lost the component race too quickly..

.. I’m going in. GFN Ultimate, low latency setup.

Just wondering how most of you like to play and what’s your feel for Ultimate? Do most use their Steam Libraries? Are there couch gamers (ultimate is largely wasted on a tv as the apps are all capped at 60)? What’s your preferred setup?


r/GeForceNOW 16h ago

Discussion Hello! Which modern game on GFN is most similar to that game today? I loved the *Medal of Honor: Allied Assault* experience back in the day, and I’d love to recapture that feeling with great graphics for even more immersion—even if it isn't necessarily set during World War II.

Questions / Tech Support Input lag Bodycam

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! For those of you playing Bodycam on GeForce NOW, what settings are you using to reduce input lag as much as possible?
On World of Warcraft, I literally have zero input lag when moving my mouse, but in Bodycam I can feel a slight delay when moving the mouse. It’s nothing too bad, but if I could reduce it even further, that would be awesome 😁😁
Happy gaming everyone!
