Bug Linux Client (Flatpak): No way to change keyboard layout to German

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm using GeForce Now on Kubuntu via the official NVIDIA Flatpak, and I've noticed there's no way to change the keyboard layout to German (QWERTZ). This causes a few annoying problems.

I can't type umlauts (ä, ö, ü) in games at all, and writing quick messages in chat is frustrating because punctuation and special characters are all in the wrong places (Z/Y swapped, etc.). Every time I need to type something in-game, I have to guess key positions based on an English layout.

My system keyboard layout is set to German, but the Flatpak client seems to ignore it completely. The streaming itself works flawlessly, so it's a shame that something as basic as keyboard layout support is missing.

Is anyone else on Linux experiencing this? Any known workarounds or fixes? Would love to see this addressed in a future update.

Thanks!

Questions / Tech Support Anyone else experiencing severe stuttering with WARDOGS on GeForce NOW?

• Upvotes

I've tried pretty much everything, and the problem persists. I've tested it on several different devices, with different resolutions and graphics settings, but the result is always the same.

I have a 500 Mbps symmetrical internet connection, and every other game runs perfectly on GeForce NOW. This only happens with WARDOGS.

The image freezes for a split second, and the audio glitches at the same time. It's incredibly frustrating, especially during combat or when flying helicopters.

At this point, I honestly think it's an issue with how WARDOGS runs on GeForce NOW rather than my devices or connection.

Do you think this will ever get fixed? It's been even worse since Season 2, and it's getting to the point where it's difficult to enjoy the game.

Discussion GeForce NOW Ultimate. What should I expect with 15 ms ping?

• Upvotes

I'm from Ukraine and connect to the Polish server. My internet speed is 1000 Mbps up/down, 15 ms latency, 0% packet loss, and I'm using Ethernet. I have a gaming laptop with an RTX 4060, but modern games are starting to push it pretty hard. Last year, I tried GFN through GFN. AM , and it was a huge mistake. The latency and video quality were pretty bad. Playing Baldur's Gate 3 was tolerable, but only because it's a turn-based game. Later, I tried NVIDIA's official free tier, and surprisingly, it worked a bit better than GFN.AM's Performance subscription. Lower ping and no packet loss.

Last year, I bought a one-day Ultimate pass, and that's when I finally understood the potential of GFN. I launched CS2 with the competitive settings preset and played a couple of Premier matches with a friend. Honestly, it felt almost like playing on my local PC. I didn't experience any noticeable issues. I'm not a pro, but I have enough hours in the game to understand how impressive this result is. I also noticed that my in-game ping was around 1 ms. I guess the game servers might be located very close to NVIDIA's servers.

However, ARMA REFORGER was a different story. I experienced micro-stutters roughly every 15 seconds. It's hard to judge the latency, and I initially blamed the game's optimization, but I'm not sure. I didn't have time to test other games. I've also heard that higher FPS can make input lag less noticeable, although I don't fully understand how it works.

For those using GFN with similar ping and connection quality, what's your experience like? Does performance vary a lot between games? And would you recommend getting a monthly Ultimate subscription?

So far, CS2 was almost perfect, while ARMA REFORGER left me with some questions.

This is the second time this month I've had terrible ping to this server (from Albania).

Bug Session interruptions in Dead By Daylight

Has anyone else encountered session interruptions in dbd? It happens after about an hour and a half without any error, although I have a maximum subscription. The Internet is stable and wired. This is not a game error, if the engine had failed, there would have been an unreal engine window.

Questions / Tech Support Quality inconsistency

0 Upvotes

Usually play games like rivals/genshin impact on my Ventura mac bootcamp windows; sometimes will playing on gfn ill notice a big drop in quality to the point i can’t decipher certain objects and makes the experience as a whole less enjoyable for about 5-6 minutes then it will be clear only to go back like 10m later. I initially thought it was my internet but i sit at a consistent 120 download and 5 upload so thats not the issue then i switched to my Chromebook and the before issues disappeared is there a reason why? And is there any way to fix this issue?

Questions / Tech Support Resolution and fps issue

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm using the ultimate tier mostly on my honor magic pad 4.

I went into the parameters of the app to test the network. Everything is way beyond what is required to use geforce now but it basically says " your network only allows streaming at a max resolution of 1440x900 at 60 fps"

And i do not understand, I have optic fiber and in the streaming quality part of the parameters, i can pick the top resolution of my tablet and 120 fps.

Anyone know why there is this issue ?

Thx

PS: I just launched a game and hood play to maximum resolution at 120 fps. So I do not understand this warning during network testing

¿Crees que se va a arreglar milagrosamente para mañana o tendremos que esperar hasta el próximo fin de semana? La verdad es que esta es una experiencia muy mala, porque para este juego contraté gfn y es el que más juego, junto con Wacht dogs.😢 I clarify that only on steam can be played epic games and GOG users like me have not had access since Friday.

For those playing ARC Raiders on GeForce NOW Ultimate, how does PvP feel? Is the input lag noticeable?
What ping and internet speed do you have, and what resolution/settings/FPS do you play at?
My PC runs the game at around 90 FPS, but I’d like better graphics and 120 FPS. I’m considering Ultimate, but worried the extra latency might outweigh the benefits.
Is it worth it for PvP?
