Lag on Diablo IV

Hi, does anyone here have experience with Diablo IV on Shadow?I'm struggling with laggy gameplay without any solution. I didn’t have problems with any other games until now. The frame is laggy all the time, in town, out of town.My desktop is a bit older so I decided to get a Shadow. It worked for a lot of games very well and I'm very happy with my decision, until now... I was searching a lot. On YT videos I saw a fluid working BETA version. Well, mine doesnt work like that... My settings in shadow: High efficiency Video Coding - OffBitrate - manual on 60 mbit/sStream settings - speed (UDP)I changed my firewall on win 10 like its said TCP/UDP for 8001-15299 (out).I turned off DLSS and vert Sync in my game setting, quality on high or low doesnt make any differents. I checked my speed rate, like its said on the shadow site (Speed Test). As you can see on this screenshot, i have interruptions in my connection. Maybe thats the problem… but i dont use WIFI, just cable. I would appreciate

Enabling nested virtualization for Power Upgrade

Could I kindly ask to enable nested virtualization for Power Upgrades ?That’s a simply and straight forward config change on the host system https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/using-nested-virtualization-in-kvm/ without any real disadvantages for Shadow. Shadow PC could be a really great system for Devs like me that mainly work on Mac or Linux and just need a Windows PC from time to time to do a bit of testing and compiling.But a system that isn’t able to run basic things like WSL 2 or Docker is pretty much worthless as a development system. Despite the nice hardware specs offered by Shadow.

Can i use a 3 screen setup with the Nreal air AR glasses?

So I have a shadow PC, that I mainly use to play games at the moment, but plan on getting into coding and games dev. I also plan on getting the nreal air AR glasses, which are glasses that can connect to a smart phone, and display a 201 inch screen or a number of smaller screens. These glasses are able to display a virtual 3 screen set up, as a beta on windows. But as the shadow PC is not actually natively running on the host device. I'm not sure how it would work, or if it even would work. Can anyone please advise on if this is something you have tested, and if it doesn't work is this something that is coming in the future? Because honestly I think a shadow PC and nreal air glasses is the ultimate combo.

Warhammer 3 Total war Loading Issue

After installing the game from Steam everything is alright. But after a certain period of time, about several hours, the game starts to load a very long time. Only after reinstalling the game did the issue disappear. I check Task Manager, and sometimes when this issue occurs, when the game is loading I see a High pick of network loading. The problem is even worse because downloading games from Steam is super slow. This problem makes Total war warhammer 3 unplayable on Shadow(

What Games Do We Officially Support?

First, let’s make things right. Shadow is not a library of games. And that’s a good thing. Because it’s much much more! Why? Just because. But also: 👉 On Shadow, you can play any game from Steam, EpicStore, etc. pretty much any game launcher you like! 👉 You’re more of an Indie game player? We’ve got you covered: you can download your favorite games on Shadow! 👉 And of course, do much more than gaming. But if you’re here, we bet you already knew that! So yes, Shadow can support pretty much any game under specific conditions: as long as Shadow meets the hardware requirements for a specific game and the developer allows virtualization, we’re all set! That being said, you wanted us to publish a list of games that we tried on Shadow. Unfortunately, we don’t have someone (yet?) to try ALL the games that exist on Shadow (if we do, please help me get that job). In the meantime, here is a list of popular games among Shadow users: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare L

Heavy rain game

I have been trying to play a game called "Heavy rain", and in it you do various movements with the controller. One of them involves pushing the right stick to one side, left or right, it does not matter, and then do a circular motion with it for 90 or 45 degrees. It happens that for some reason 90% of the time, the shadow pc fails to register the movement. Controller seems to work ok when going to the testing gamepad website. Installing the game on my steam deck everything works as it should. I wonder if there are any known incompatibilities between this game and shadow. It is the sort of game I would rather play on the big srceen TV.Does anybody have the same problem? I know it is an old game, but still, quite good I find.Lately I have been having quite a lot of latency issues. I have tried the App on my MAC, on google chromecast TV and with windows. both Windows and chromecast are using wired connection. I must say that form all the 3, chromecast is the best in terms of latency. I wo

Running WSL2 on Shadow

Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 on Shadow would be great. WSL 1 does work on shadow, however WSL 2 performs better and will improve over time. I do not use Shadow for games. ShadowTech has a business focused group. Can this request be forwarded to that group?Thanks Troy

Shadow Box to real tinny PC (Linux and Windows)

I read that Shadow PC will stop the Shadow Boxes (the support and I think the production too). So I think a lot of people won't need them anymore. So I propose you to show you how to transform the Shadow Box in a real small desktop PC.If you are interested, let me know and I will make you the tutorial for Linux (easy) and for Windows 10/11 (difficult).I like Shadow and what it offers. This transformation of the Shadow Box is only to prevent it from getting dusty. Since we install Windows or Linux, you will always be able to install the Shadow application and use it "as before". https://www.reddit.com/r/ShadowPC/comments/139jicd/shadow_box_to_real_tinny_pc_linux_and_windows/

Lags and stuttering making games unplayable (like Valheim..)

Hi everybody, > Since few days, or maybe since I went to W11 on my Shadow (Power Option, located in France), I have several “lags spikes” with sometimes a packet loss, sometimes not which are making most of the game really unplayable, it stutters and it likes if it was dropping from 60+ to 1FPS or/+ 500PING you know? I would like to know if there are other people in the same situation ? Or maybe even if someone knows something about this issue, it could help a lot, for sure! Thanks anyway for reading and sorry for my bad english ;D [Ima frog eatah c:]JOHNN1E
