R-0x4

My shadow client keeps showing this error what can I do to fix it?

R-0x4 is an error that appears when your shadow client is missing underling operating system components. This particialr error affects Linux and Windows Users. 

For Linux you will need to download and install vaapi portions. For Windows you will need to install Dot Net 3.5 Redistribute. 

Still having trouble? Try these steps to get your shadow client working: 

1. Uninstall Shadow

2. Go to the your %appdata% folder (Windows search '%appdata%') and delete all 'Shadow'-related folders 3. Delete the folder C://Users/username/.shadow

4. Restart your computer

5. Download and install Shadow again at https://account.shadow.tech/apps (choose Applications on the left)

Hello Gelgoog,

 

I'm sorry to dig up this topic, but I have scrupulously followed all the steps in your post, and yet the problem still persists.

I also tried to contact the technical service, who send me your solution.

However, there must be another location where Shadow files are installed.

Because just after my reinstallation of the launcher, I am automatically recognized without entering my credentials.

Do you have any leads? Because I have no news from the technical service.

Hey @Sweden , 
You can try uninstalling Malwarebytes and make sure your firewall is not blocking anything. A recent update may cause some issues. If that doesn’t work and nobody has more suggestions you should contact support since that would probably be faster than waiting for a useful response here. Make sure to include everything in your current post in your support request as this contains useful information.
Have a nice day!

@Behroz It 

Did you ensure that your newly formatted pc has all updates and is on the latest version of windows before you installed shadow client?

Hello everyone , 

For those who ad the issue R-0x4 Error. please ensure your PC is not in mode “Save Power” in power settings this is the path in french and english : 

open Panneau de configuration\Tous les Panneaux de configuration\Options d’alimentation

open Control Panel, select System and Security > Power Options, then choose a Balanced power plan or .

I had this issue for long time and realise it by myself and want to share with all of you out there i hope this will help you all . 

H

I got the Unkown error R-0x4.

HOW I RESOLVED IT:

After I read post from BadBunnie, in this forum.

 

Followed Gelgoog Post above:

 

1/   Uninstall Shadow Launcher,
2/   Remove SHADOW related folders in %APPDATA%%
3/   Remove .shadowtech folder in USER folder

ALSO, Things to check:

 

1/   Make sure .NET framework 3.5 or higher installed.
2/   Also may help to have latest C++ distribution (now 2022) installed

3/   Check Power Option  per Adel post sbove

4/   RESTART PC, reinstall Launcher & try again.

 

IF still have same issue:

 

Check if you have 2 graphic cards installed,  1 integrated and 1 dedicated graphic card.

If you DISABLED integrated card by using Windows DEVICE MANAGER in Control Panel, then you have to ENABLE it and reboot pc & try shadow launcher again.

 

If its a PC, you can use BIOS to disable Integrated Graphic Card (not in Windows Device Manager).

If laptop, some dont have option to DISABLE in BIOS (my case).

After enable it should work, and let you access your Shadow PC.
