Ahoi dear fellow users of the photonless universe,
I needed dual display support for my setup so i wrote a quick guide for everyone interested in doing the same. And before anyone complains, yes the native client main display is better for gaming because of the higher refresh rate (spacedesk has 30 FPS), BUT for anything besides fast paced First Person Shooter it is good enough.
All you need is ZeroTier (https://www.zerotier.com/) and spacedesk (https://spacedesk.net/).
-
Setup a private network in ZeroTier (great guide found here => https://support.paperspace.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004997928-How-to-Create-a-VPN-tunnel-with-ZeroTier-Windows- )
-
Install ZeroTier on your PC and Shadow AND accept network sharing
-
Join the network created in step 1 AND Authorize the clients!
-
Install spacedesk Server on your shadow and restart
-
Install spacedesk Viewer on your PC and restart
-
Open your Shadow to make sure spacedesk DRIVER is running (check in Taskbar by clicking on > "show hidden icons")
-
Open spacedesk Viewer and your server should already show up as connectable device
-
Connect to the display in spacedesk Viewer
-
In your Shadow, a second display is now allowable in display settings
-
Set the Resolution to 1920 X 1080 , apply settings
-
Drag the spacedesk window to your secondary screen and press "ALT + Enter" for full screen
-
Enter full screen mode in Shadow Client on your main display
Congratulations you have a fully working two display Shadow with a secondary screen.
If you have any questions feel free to read again in case you missed anything or ask if i forgot anything.
