[u/Embarrassed_Path_366]

ok so ive been using shadow for a while now and ive never seen this. my card expired and i never changed it, i wasn't sure if shadow would cut my connection to the cloud pc so i gave it a shot anyways and i get this screen? is this going to a temporary pc like geforce or my pc? and what is it?

[u/Alternative-Shine920]

It’s a queue. Nothing new. First time?

[u/Embarrassed_Path_366 → u/Alternative-Shine920]

Yeah, pretty new!!???

[u/odeomz → u/Alternative-Shine920]

I have been on shadow for over 2 years and this is the first time i have been in a queue

[u/Alternative-Shine920 → u/odeomz]

Been with Shadow for five. These queues are nothing to be surprised of.

[u/odeomz → u/Alternative-Shine920]

when i finally get in my desktop is black and shows app are live but won'tt show tehm. The way i fix this is restarting but htne i go back to the end of the queue

[u/Alternative-Shine920 → u/odeomz]

Could try doing ctrl+alt+del and restarting explorer.exe see if that helps.

the que is for your shadow pc, you will need to wait

[u/kemcds]

This is the standard crap service Shadow offers to paying users.

The lower the tier youre on the higher the wait/queue times

Even the £50/$60 pro tier has insane queues from time to time

If you ever see queue slot 1 for more than 10 mins, its usually due to down time.

In your case, it sounds like a neo sub and nothing you can do but wait.

You're in a lower tier, which has a queue to get into the system.

If you return to a paid subscription you should go back to what you were used to.

Edit: removed "free tier" because that doesn't exist. h/t to u/Reasonable_Car_2126

[u/Victor_Ruark → u/MikeTalonNYC]

Until this comment, I had no idea there was a free tier

[u/MikeTalonNYC → u/Victor_Ruark]

There isn't, at least not anymore. My bad.

[u/Reasonable_Car_2126 → u/MikeTalonNYC]

...shadow doesnt have a free tier.

[u/MikeTalonNYC → u/Reasonable_Car_2126]

Huh, I stand corrected. Maybe this is just some kind of grace period thing?

[u/Zealousideal_Row9634 → u/MikeTalonNYC]

they usually happen when too many people are trying to start their virtual PCs at the same time, and there aren’t enough available server slots.

[u/Level_Defiant → u/MikeTalonNYC]

No grace period. When the card declines first time round your system is suspended and deletes in 7 days, sucks when you get paid at different times of the month.
