Low Performance?

Hello there,I bought Shadow yesterday for 29,99€ i want to play Games with it. Because my own PC is Old and slow.I want to play the new COD Warzone 2.0. First Round i’m thinking ‘’WTF is this’’ it runs very slow - Options - Interface - FPS Counter ON. And   what do i see? 32-40 fps? WTF? Ok: Settings - 1920x1080 and all on low.New Round and only 45-52 FPS on LOW?They say that the GPU is at the level of a GTX 1080 and the CPU is a XEON E5 2678 V3.Why i get only 45-52 FPS on low Settings?Even if it's cap to 60 FPS for the normal Shadow PC (29,99€) u will never get only 45-52 FPS with a GTX 1080 and the XEON E5 2678 V3 on lowI have in my own PC a R9 285 and a i5 4660 and get more FPS. on all lowSo WTF is this?

Is there an ETA on Windows 11 for Shadow?

I’m very happy with my Shadow and have fully switched over to it as my daily driver, but I’d like to update to Windows 11. I understand we can’t/shouldn’t do that right now, but Windows 11 has been out for some time now and I wanted to know if the Shadow devs at least have an idea about when we’ll be able to  update to it.

How to bypass firewall to use shadow?

So I’ve been able to finally get Shadow running on my MacBook and have had a largely successful experience getting some of my favorite games running. One issue that I’ve run in to is at work. I have a job where I can sometimes take a break and play some games on my computer but due to some sort of firewall or other network issue, I’m unable to get Shadow running. The internet at work is good, but when I start the application, it goes through the loading process but when it reaches halfway it stops and does not go any further. When I try to open Shadow, it just keeps loading and loading forever with no progress. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Bad Shadow PC Performance after the Upgrade to Shadow Power Upgrade

Hi, i noticed that after i updated my Shadow to the “Shadow Power Upgrade” i can’t play a few games that i had previusly played on the old “slower” Shadow PC that i payed like 15€ for each month. Now after i upgraded i can’t run a few Games like Star Citizen and Victoria 3. I got better Graphics in games, yes. But the overall performance degraded a bit CPU and RAM wise. I can bump my Graphich in games to a max now and it looks pretty, back then i had bad Graphics but a good overall CPU and RAM perfromance. My GPU sits alomost always at 30-40% usage in games, but my 16Gb of RAM are almost always at 90%. It can’t be that for 45€ a month i cant even run Strategy Games that run on a 400€ Notebook.  It seems to me that it ain’t worth the money. Cause I had nothing against bad graphics for 15€ a month, but for 45€ its not that amusing having FPS drops from 60-70 to  2-3 FPS ingame every few seconds. Does anyone have the same expierience with the new Upgrade? RegardsToni

Using on Steam Deck

So I have this issue with my Shadow on Steam Deck. I can get everything loaded and log in using the Ubuntu version since it's Linux based. It loads fine but when the actual video feed from my Shadow shows up it's really red. It looks like infrared from Predator. I've contacted support who advised that other users who have had a similar issue have disabled the rgb10 drivers to make it work. They then gave me a link to a Reddit page ( https://www.reddit.com/r/ShadowPC/comments/tsx9b6/shadow_works_great_on_steam_deck/ ) where someone said basically the same thing. The problem I'm having is there is basically zero explanation on how to actually do this so I need some help with how to actually do this. A step by step would be awesome if anyone knows how. I'm sure this would be helpful to many people who have or will get a Steam Deck.

Any future explanation for Chrome / Edge Browsers?

I have a Steam Deck and while Shadow “kinda” works on the Windows side I was wondering if you were planning to have support for the Chrome and Edge browser like GeForce Now, Xbox, etc have? Right now I load those platforms though the Edge browser and they work great. https://play.geforcenow.com/http://xbox.com/play Thank you

I am using Shadow, downloaded the thrustmaster hotas x joystick driver, usb plugged in. The Shadow PC does not recognise it as a game controller. Yet shadow launcher does see it as forwarded usb, but Box can’t be checked. The result is that DCS World does not see the joystick. I followed all troubleshooting suggestions according to Shadow support. Any ideas to help please?!
