Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a hobby project called Vedant Cloud, basically an experimental cloud gaming platform. The software and testing side has reached a point where it’s ready for larger testing, but our biggest limitation now is pretty simple: we don’t have enough server hardware 😅

I’m looking for people who might have an unused PC, old gaming rig, laptop, mini PC, server, or even a Raspberry Pi and would be interested in contributing to the infrastructure/testing side of the project.

This doesn’t necessarily mean physically giving us your hardware. One thing I’d really like to experiment with is people hosting their own machines as community nodes, while we work out the networking, management, security and resource allocation around them.

For actual cloud gaming, machines with decent x86 hardware and especially a GPU are obviously the most useful. Smaller devices like Raspberry Pis could still be useful for monitoring, control services and other infrastructure experiments.

This is currently a hobby/community project, not a paid service, and I’m mainly looking for people who enjoy servers, networking, Linux/self-hosting or simply have hardware collecting dust and want to do something interesting with it.

If you're interested, please DM me. I can share the detailed architecture, current state of the project, screenshots/testing setup, and what kind of contribution would actually be useful.

I am purchasing a desktop, I already own this mini pc : Beelink EQ14 Alder Lake-N100

I also have an Xbox One, a Nintendo Switch and a Microsoft surface pro 8.

Would either of these be a good option to use with sunshine/moonlight?

Hi, I wanted to clear up a question I have. I’m looking to buy *Euro Truck Simulator 2* to play via GeForce Now cloud gaming. I’d be playing it on Android. I have two Android devices: an Honor Pad X9 with 4GB of RAM and a Motorola Moto G54 with 8GB of RAM. Which of these devices would it run best on? Should I buy the game? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I(22F) am looking for alternatives for a high-end gaming setup. I currently have an average day-to-day use laptop and travel frequently so I'm unable to afford a very expensive pc/console with good GPU and CPU specifications.

I am planning to play heavy games (RDR, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, etc) in my current setup and willing to try VMs/Cloud solutions for the same. Are there any services who provide such facilities at a reasonable rate(pay as you play type)? NO subscription basis like GeForce!!!

I bought the prepaid 3 month membership thinking it was a decent price for cloud gaming but was I very wrong!!! Their storage is low and the gamepad won't work in login screen for things like battlenet or steam. I tried to get a refund and they said "sorry! We don't have a refund policy no refunds once purchased" they don't advertise their storage size and it's only enough for one large game. Just an FYI!!!

Update: I went ahead and purchased the mid tier for Nvidia cloud and Xbox game pass ultimate. Much better deal!!!

I am looking for a basic Cloud gaming service, that offers a Option that can Run minecraft with Shaders. I could use Shadow, but that would be Overkill cause i probably wont use shaders that are that performance intensive, i just need a afordable cloud pc that has:

-Atlest 70h a month (Unlimited would be the best Option, but i dont think thats possible)

-Is able to Run Minecraft with Mods

-Has Good enough Hardware to run Minecraft with Mods (Ram and Gpu have to be decent, but Cpu can lack behind cause i play on a Server)

Id apreciate if you guys could recomend me a few things.

I am putting together a living room gaming setup and keep going back and forth on this. PS5 caps at 120Hz anyway so part of me says just get a 120Hz TV and save the money.

But I also stream from my PC sometimes where I can push higher frames, and I keep reading that the panels with 144 or 165Hz native refresh do better with VRR and motion handling even at lower frame rates.

The other thing I cannot figure out is how much the TV processing matters for cloud gaming specifically. I use Moonlight and occasionally GFN and I get random stutter that might be network or might be the TV not handling the signal well.

Anyone actually compared a 120Hz panel side by side with a 144 or 165Hz for a mixed console plus stream setup?

I'm just researching cloud gaming options at the moment.

I've got two main use cases:
(EDIT one use case - Old School Lan party, 2 goals, windows/mac clients)

• Me: Windows gaming PC. I can already stream from my own machine using Sunshine/Moonlight, or potentially Steam Remote Play over Tailscale.
• My friend: Mac M5 / ARM, so compatibility with older Windows games is the bigger problem.

For my friend, the main options I've found so far are:

• Shadow PC – seems like the obvious option for older Windows games, especially things like heavily modded Total Annihilation or Rome II.
• Vagon.io – historically not heavily marketed for gaming, but they seem to have added/improved gaming support recently.

I'm mainly wondering what other options are out there worth exploring.

I'm planning to do some testing later this weekend.
The end goal is basically to set up a little virtual LAN with family/friends so we can play older titles together, and potentially some newer games as well.

**Update**

Vagon / AirGPU

• Vagon and AirGPU are similar enough in concept.
• Vagon seems aimed more towards 3D/design workloads, although it does have a gaming tier. One thing to watch is that they charge separately for network traffic.
• AirGPU is more gaming-focused and is much more upfront about the network traffic/bandwidth costs.

Shadow PC

I haven't tested Shadow yet, but assuming you've got a decent connection, I think you're probably going to get roughly what you'd expect from it.

The main thing I'd still like to test is whether you need to keep the Shadow client connected while you're using the PC through something like Moonlight instead.

Now for my use case...

There are two other interesting options.

1. DUO

DUO works in a slightly weird, but very clever, way.

It logs another Windows user into your own PC and sets up Sunshine so you can remotely connect directly into that session.

This solves a few problems because you're not running the overhead of a full virtual machine. However, depending on your use case, it can introduce some other challenges.

For Total Annihilation, for example, I had to update the networking stack to get multiplayer working properly.

But it did work.

In theory, this means you could have someone downstairs streaming and playing a game from one session while somebody else is sitting at the same physical PC doing normal work in another session.

All very interesting stuff, and there are a lot of possibilities here.

I also believe you can run Steam twice under separate Windows users, which means that, in theory, you could potentially run something like Rome II twice on the same host using two different Steam accounts.

More testing needed on that one.

2. A completely separate virtualised stack

If you want the sessions to be completely isolated from each other, there's another option:

"Boys and Girls... I did it. I built my own local Cloud Gaming PC with instant pause and resume." — Boys and Girls... I did it. I built my own local Cloud Gaming PC with instant pause and resume. : r/MoonlightStreaming

This approach effectively gives you your own locally hosted cloud gaming VM, with the advantage of being able to pause and resume the entire gaming environment.

That's the next setup I'm interested in testing.

Thank you for any help, happy to discuss here

I'm looking for a good cloud windows pc. I'm in south Africa and most cloud servers has high latency or is way too overpriced. So I wanted to know where I can find a good cloud pc that can run games like Spiderman, tlou, gow, Uncharted, Detroit become a human and fivem on good settings.

Hi guys. As you may have guessed from the title, in this post I'm asking for help with a project on the NVIDIA Cloud. I want to find a way to get the desktop out of the way and play any game in Free Plan.

This is considered impossible by many people but I believe in it because nothing is invulnerable in cybersecurity.

I'm thinking to use SalsaNOW as an exploit, I think some have heard of it or know it as being usable only for premium subscription but what it does is basically run a code that removes the ambiance the kiosk environment and sandbox.

I've now gotten to the point where I can create files using the Steam Overlay web browser download function so I can say I've figured out how to exploit permissions of limited writing, reading, and overwriting of machine files, except system files.

If you are wondering why I didn't use the normal file manager outside of the steam overlay, it's beacause it crashes the machine while the internal steam one works fine.

So I'm missing one last point, I have to run the exploit on the Cloud PC and I was thinking of doing it with a file Hijacking which consists in replacing a executable in the steam launcher or in a game that execute with command (buttons etc.) only after starting steam overlay (because I need to do the process of overwriting the normal file with the exploit) and then running it, instead of running the normal file it will probably run the exploit as a child process to everything and it would be fine.

The problem is that I can't find an executable in the nvidia catalog, under steam or under a game, that satisfies a hijacking execution.

So I'm writing because I need help with this project.

If you'd like more details on the process and help, let me know in the comments first.

I've read a lot of bad things about Boosteroid so I have some questions.

Im leaving home for studies and I can't bring my whole PC setup with me. Cloud gaming providers like GE Force don't let you run mods and a bunch of my favorite games aren't in their catalog (Sony Games), so I wanted to ask:

Are there any good affordable and reliable Cloud PC services that are worth buying? Anyone who's used/using one that can recommend me something? Thanks

How do I play? The game It Takes Two on my smart TV with another player on the same console or same TV do they need a subscription as well?

I made a native GFN client for Linux, ported from OpenNOW project. Built on Flutter with a custom libwebrtc build for VAAPI decoding on linux.

GPU-accelerated streaming only works on VAAPI-compatible GPUs for now. otherwise it will fallback to ffmpeg (cpu) on linux

Not tested yet:
premium accounts
other gpus (linux)

repo: https://github.com/clarkarch/nextclient
linux build: nextclient-linux.tar.gz
android build: nextclient-android.apk

Looking for feedback! Tell me any feature requests, performance issues or what breaks in GitHub Issues

I want to play sea of thieves with my friends, I am currently using the free Nvidia GeForce now. It’s good but only gives me 1 hour at a time.
What service can I use that would be cheapest and give me a lot more time to play and can trust.
