How do I know what server I'm on?

Forum welcome/setup asks this but I have no idea where I can find this out… My registered address for my subscription is in London UK, does this mean Paris is my server?

The #1 thing to do when your Shadow isn't booting up/working well

It’s rather simple. Shutdown, wait 15 minutes. Make sure to wait the 15 minutes, then just start it again. This has always fixed any non-global issue I’ve ever had. Other things you can try is closing then reopening the Shadow window. To Shutdown from your launcher, simply follow this link.

Is your Shadow CPU at 100% at launch? If so, read on up!

If your Shadow CPU is at 100% for no apparent reason. Fear not! The current known solution is to wait 20 minutes for the process to clear….. Why so long? Im curious as well…. Please post any further information you uncover on this in the comments.

Do you struggle using shadow on 2.4 GHz WIFI in a densely populated area because your PC does not support 5Ghz? If the answer is yes this post is for you!

Hi everyone, throughout this post i will try to explain the pros and cons of 2.4Ghz wifi and what you can do to try and mitigate the issues as well as how 5Ghz can solve many of those problems. 2.4Ghz and its limitations So the biggest issue with 2.4Ghz wifi signal is that within a densely populated area such as an apartment building the WIFI signals from everyone’s independent routers will overlap, causing interference which in turn will cause ping spikes and packet loss for you when using shadow. So if you see a lot of networks from your laptop this might be your issue. look at the next image for an example of overlapping networks that will cause issues! 2.4Ghz network overlaps What can you do? You can see on the image that there is no free channel available, no matter the channel you pick, you will always overlap with other networks. Now your situation may be different, maybe you have a couple of channels you can see are free and wont overlap with any other

R:102 (Rare) Your internet is down

If you get this error be sure to check to see if your preferred device is connected to the internet. If on wifi check to see if you are connected to an accesspoint. If on ethernet that you have an IP address. If internet issues still persist please reboot your modem and wait 3 minutes for the modem to reconnect. Then check your preferred device to see if you have internet.

Useful Sources for information and help!

Too shy to ask for help? I can give you a few pointers where you can get some help without being social… at least for now The Shadow help center. Has a lot of information on troubleshooting and all the other good things. An official Shadow source: https://shdw.me/helpdesk The Shadow community wiki! Has a lot of useful general information, troubleshooting tips, and some advanced guides: https://shdw.me/wiki_dc Last but not least current known issues that Shadow is officially aware of: https://shdw.me/known_issues

105 - AKA Streamer is Ready but the Client is not

If you get this error the streamer is rearing to go but there seems to be some issue at the user's end. Please check that your internet is working (you would know if it's not) or close the client and re-launch it.
