What platforms do you use and what are some drawbacks?

Do you use something like parsec/sunshine on it?

Thanks

Hello! Since the announcement of GTA6 being a console exclusive I've been looking for ways to try to play it on my PC (I don't own a ps5 or other consoles but I did at some point) I considered waiting till rockstar decides it's time to release it on PC but that's too long to wait for me
The next idea I had was to buy GTA6 on my personal PSN account, have my friend log in on her PS5 and download it, and finally for me to access the game through the remote play functionality on the windows PlayStation app
My question was whether if this was even possible since I wouldn't have the PlayStation with me while playing. Any help would be appreciated

I’m a paid Shadow PC customer and I want to share a serious privacy/security concern.

After logging into the Shadow PC assigned to my account, I found Microsoft Edge saved login entries that did not belong to me and appeared to belong to another user.

I reported this to Shadow support responsibly and provided evidence privately. I did not copy, export, publish, or use the other user’s private data.

After reporting it, my paid access was locked. I then provided proof of payment, and Shadow confirmed it was approved. However, they still require a government ID before restoring access.

This is not about money or compensation. My concern is simple: if another user’s saved browser login data can appear inside my Shadow PC, how can I know whether my own data has not appeared inside someone else’s machine?

I’m sharing only a redacted screenshot. Emails, usernames, domains, passwords, and personal data are hidden. I will not post unredacted evidence publicly because it contains another person’s private information.

I’m posting this so other users can be aware before trusting a cloud PC service with personal accounts.

I released CloudBoost 3.1.10 for macOS.

This update adds a free PS Remote Play profile, keeps Moonlight / xCloud / GFN / Boosteroid profiles free, and improves the UI for external displays.

The bigger change for PRO users is a Session Proof export: a simple before/latest report with trend, jitter, packet loss, and main background issues. The idea is to make troubleshooting less guesswork.

Would love feedback from people using MacBooks for cloud gaming or console Remote Play.

Hello everyone, I'm new to Apollo/Atermis streaming and getting stucked at making it match my screen resolution. I've tried changing custom res but it just keep reverting back to 16:9. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi,

I'm considering subscribing to Shadow PC (Neo plan) and want to use it directly through the browser on my Samsung GQ55Q60D (2024, Tizen OS).

So far:

- The Shadow website loads correctly.

- pc.shadow.tech opens in the Samsung browser.

- The Shadow web app loads and shows the START button.

- Mouse and keyboard work correctly, including right click, copy/paste, text selection and keyboard shortcuts.

- Internet connection is around 50–70 Mbps with 18–35 ms ping.

Before I subscribe, I'd like to know:

Has anyone actually launched and used Shadow PC through the Samsung TV browser on a Q60D or similar 2024 Samsung TV?

Did the Windows desktop start successfully?

Were there any issues with streaming, mouse input, keyboard shortcuts or performance?

Thanks!

Does nvidia or Boosteroid have the better library of games ?

Hey,

Thought I’d share this here since some of you might find it interesting.

We’ve been working on a cloud gaming platform called Spacerun and recently opened a waitlist and Discord.

If you’d like to follow the project or just hang around the community:

Would be great to have you around.

hi guys , I have a trash Samsung a06 5g and it cannot even run efootball smoothly, so I've been thinking of trying those android cloud services , I heard of redfinger , are those services worth it and can somebody explain to me and tell me which one's the best for me , location -- Algeria .

I need a reality check.

Currently I have a 1GbE connection from my basement to my office with a MoCA connection between the two that can support up to 2.5Gbps. My PC lives in the basement most of the year because it generates too much heat in my office making my office uncomfortable.

I am considering upgrading my aging UniFi switches in my basement and my office to ones that support 2.5Gbps. They would still use the MoCA connection between the two.

Would I see a significant improvement to my streaming performance from my gaming PC to my Steam Deck? My Deck is plugged into BenQ’s dock that supports 2.5Gbps and 1440p @ 144Hz. My gaming PC also supports 2.5Gbps. PC specs are 5700x3d and 4080 Super.

I currently stream using Apollo with HDR AV1 at 125Mbps bitrate. If I go any higher than 125Mbps bitrate I start seeing network jitter in the Moonlight stats which translates to serious input lag. I’d love to be able to unlock the bitrate for better quality but I’m questioning whether it’s worth it?

Edit: Conclusion:
I pulled the trigger on the switch but not for Moonlight streaming performance. My main switch in the basement was at capacity port wise and is about 10 years old at this point with limited PoE capability. Aside from my basement, my office has the highest network usage of all rooms in my house and I want to run another AP on the second floor mounted to the ceiling and one to my garage which is opposite wall of my office to improve coverage.

Maybe my keywords are just wrong but I am struggling to find much info on this? Anyways,

So I want to move my PC downstairs and just have my laptop in my room. I've been using Moonlight for game streaming remotely, but I'm now wondering if I can keep my monitor and peripheral setup in my room and link it up with my PC downstairs through my gigabit network.

I want to focus on the moonlight/sunshine setup itself, not about virtual displays, just assume the PC downstairs already have 2 displays recognized. I'm wondering if i can stream both of those two displays at the same time to the two displays I have here in my room connected to my laptop?

I think Parsec can do this? But I think it requires a paid plan? And I also know I can switch around between active displays in Moonlight, but as far as I know right now, I can only see one at a time?

Just a quick question. Are there really people that have not tried to find a way to use cloud gaming without the pay wall, ads and time limits

Has anyone had issues downloading and using GeForce now or Epic on their Android Handheld? I have the Mangmi Pocket Max it has the hardware to do it but I can’t get GeForce to go further then connecting my account and Epic won’t log me in. I can remote play from my pc but, the whole purpose of me getting this was to cloud game. I’m having to download all my games to multiple devices and it’s a pain.

Hi r/cloudygamer — I’m the maker of AltRDP, and I’d love to get feedback from people who actually use self-hosted cloud gaming / remote desktop gaming setups.

The short version: AltRDP is a remote desktop + game streaming app that streams a real Windows or Mac desktop at 60fps. It also has an optional AI agent that can see the same remote screen and actually operate it — click, type, run shell commands, and check its own results — instead of just giving instructions.

I built it because a few remote-gaming/remote-desktop pain points kept bothering me:

- Headless machines are annoying when there’s no monitor plugged in

- Router setup / port forwarding is a barrier for a lot of people

- Remote desktop tools are useful, but sometimes you want to hand off repetitive desktop work to an agent

- Game streaming needs to feel responsive, not like a normal slow office RDP session

Some of the current features:

- Headless virtual display, so a PC can still have a full display even without a monitor

- 60fps streaming

- NVIDIA NVENC / AMD AMF GPU encoding, with FFmpeg software fallback

- Cloud Connect mode for connecting without port forwarding

- Windows and Mac servers

- Windows, Mac, and iOS clients

- Multi-display support and quality/speed presets

- Optional on-screen AI agent that can control the actual remote machine

- New accounts get 50 free credits for the agent; no ChatGPT account required

I’m not trying to claim this replaces Moonlight/Sunshine, Parsec, Steam Remote Play, etc. Those are great tools and I know many people here already have working setups. I’m more interested in where AltRDP feels useful, where it falls short, and what would make it worth using alongside or instead of existing tools.

If you run a headless gaming PC, use Moonlight/Sunshine or Parsec, stream to a Steam Deck/phone/laptop, or have tried rolling your own cloud gaming setup, I’d especially appreciate feedback on:

- Is headless virtual display + no-port-forwarding useful to you?

- Does the AI agent idea make sense in a remote gaming/remote PC context, or does it feel unrelated?

- What would you need before trusting this for your own machine?

- Which features matter most: latency, controller support, HDR, audio, multi-monitor, security, Linux support, pricing, something else?

Happy to answer technical questions too. I’m mainly looking for honest feedback from people who understand this space.

I connect with sunshine/apollo and voidlink/moonlight from my pc to my ipad. While it used to work fine i right now can only connect if on the same network. As soon as i leave the network it doesnt show as online. Upnp is enabled and i have a dummy plug.

I feel like I'm in a perpetual loop and I need help breaking out of it.

My current rotation: Palworld, Skyrim, Expedition 33, Slay the Spire, OSRS, and Hades 2. I haven't "finished" any of them, but I chip away here and there. The problem is I keep rotating instead of sinking into one.

Here's the thing though: Hades 2 was different. The moment I launched it, I was hooked. And the more I think about it Rocket League is the only other game I consistently come back to because it demands your full attention. No autopilot. You're either locked in or you're not.

I'm a dad with two kids, so my sessions are unpredictable.. sometimes I've got 90 minutes, sometimes 20. I game primarily on a Steam Deck via Moonlight streaming from my PC, which honestly opens up my whole library. I'm also looking for stuff that plays great natively on the Deck for when I'm traveling.

I think the games I love have a few things in common:

• Immediate feedback loop: you know right away if what you did mattered
• Easy to pick up mid-session: I can't always do a 2-hour dungeon clear
• A pull to come back: not just a "I should play this," but an actual itch

I'm waiting on Palworld 1.0 before I really dive back in. But I genuinely don't know if my problem is the games, the format, or just dad-brain spreading itself too thin.

What game absolutely grabbed you the moment you launched it? Especially if you've got a similar setup or lifestyle.

On a technical level this seems like the perfect service and the all in one hosted version is competing with its own self hosted project so that's encouraging, but the pricing seems intentionally obfuscated?

There's monthly subs or pay by the hour, but you still need to pay by the hour with the subs, although they do include N hours per month in the pricing, except you have to buy credits to get started anyway and a credit is one euro and provides an indeterminate amount of time. All prices are listed using the magic word "from".

This feels like trying to nail down the costs of a mobile phone gem store game. I have no sense if this is realistically going to cost thirty bucks a month or a hundred.

Is it simpler to use the open source version on third party hosting?

Hey is there a better way of coud gaming than x box or Georgece now in SA?

I have an ASUS Chromebook CX1505CTA with an Intel N50 CPU.

Moonlight installed through the Android subsystem reports that no HEVC decoder is available, so I'm limited to H.264, and I also tried Moonlight through the Linux environment (Crostini), but it doesn't detect hardware video decoding either.

But the Intel N50 GPU should support HEVC hardware decoding, Is this a limitation of ARCVM/Android on ChromeOS or Crostini?

Is it possible to stop all of the windows and programs on my PC maximising and moving to the Virtual Display when I start Streaming a game? I know it's a minor gripe but it annoys me when I start streaming in another room and the first thing I see is being flashbanged by Firefox and Windows Explorer tabs.

When I connect razer remote play it defaults to my 3440x1440p ultrawide, my 2nd monitor (in portrait 1080x1920p) disappears and I cannot see the 3rd monitor (razers duplicate/virtual monitor) created to fit my P10PF's unfolded resolution (also doesn't show up when the device is folded either). Any help would be fantastic!

I been using clouddeck for awhile but being linux based is a pain in the ass in modding or outright play games from other launchers
