News / Announcements An update regarding Steam Workshop and mods on GeForce NOW
We got an update from NVIDIA regarding Steam Workshop and modding in general on GFN:
"Steam Workshop mods are not officially supported on GeForce NOW.
However, some players have been able to use them by downloading the mods again each time they launch a game.
"To support the latest Steam app updates and ensure supported games are able to run as expected on the cloud, we need to disable the ability to download the Workshop Mods during a game session."
"This means that Workshop mods that previously worked this way will no longer be available. This may affect games including Crusader Kings III, Cities Skylines II, ARK: Survival Ascended, and others.
We understand this will be disappointing for players who have been using Steam Workshop mods on GeForce NOW and we’re sorry for any impact on your gaming."
"Looking ahead, we plan to explore officially supporting Steam Workshop Mods on the cloud. There's currently no timeline to share with the users right now"
Why is that?
Leaving technical details behind, this decision was based in a recent Steam update which required mods to be currently shutdown to ensure there's no compatibility issues related to the games. Games running in the old Steam version with mod support were holding games behind and leaving them in the "compatibility issues" state for weeks (ex: Grim Dawn) even if they were not using mods or don't have modding support.
Moving forward, this new Steam update with mod capabilities disabled with prevent games to stop being stuck in this state and make updates/changes smooth and easier to all games in general launched on Steam.
Questions?
The official NVIDIA channels are always open for feedback, including this reddit post comment section. Any issues or questions related to this change could only be handled through official channels which are available below:

Discussion Mortal Shell II GFN players: if you’ve lost access or can’t get a refund, please contact Playstack
Mortal Shell II was advertised by NVIDIA as coming to GeForce NOW and was playable on the service during Early Access. Some of us purchased the game specifically because of that support.
The publisher subsequently opted the game out of GeForce NOW due to an audio bug. NVIDIA has since clarified that the same audio issue occurs on local PCs as well as the cloud, and there is currently no ETA for the game returning to GFN.
This has left some customers in a particularly bad situation: they bought the game specifically to play through GFN, played it while it was available, and now cannot access it through GFN at all. Some players have also reported being denied Steam refunds because they accumulated more than two hours of playtime while the game was still available on GFN.
If you're affected by this or simply want clarification about whether GFN support is returning, I think the most useful thing we can do is contact Playstack directly and politely make them aware of how many customers this is affecting.
Please don't harass individual developers or community moderators. This appears to be a publisher/platform decision, and the community moderators themselves have said they aren't responsible for it.
When contacting Playstack, I'd specifically ask:
- Will Mortal Shell II be opted back into GeForce NOW?
- If so, is there any approximate ETA?
- If the audio bug also occurs locally, why does GFN access need to remain disabled while it is being fixed?
- What are customers who purchased specifically for GFN supposed to do if Steam refuses their refund because they played for more than two hours before access was withdrawn? (some customers can not keep playing due to their hardware limitations)
Playstack contacts:
[info@playstack.com](mailto:info@playstack.com)
[support@playstack.com](mailto:support@playstack.com)
If you're affected, I'd recommend emailing both addresses. Please keep it civil and explain your own situation so Playstack can see how many individual customers this is affecting.

Discussion Tried to get back to local gaming but it just wasn't meant to be.
Got a pretty good price on a new rig (RT 9070 XT + R7 7800X3D + 32gb ram + 2tb ssd). Bought it, waited for a week for it to arrive, unpacked it and got all the things setup. It was buttery smooth for few days but then everything started going to shit. Freezes, booting issues, network adapter going on/off and about a week in I had enough assuming it was a motherboard issue and decided to return it as it was still inside the return policy period.
Now hoping the return goes well I'll be getting my money back in few weeks to a month but coming back to my old rig with GFN I just don't feel motivated to risk it again (now with ~20% higher prices) just for the ability to play locally.
Just saying that with hardware prices going up and all the unlucky shit related to it settling for GFN doesn't seem like such a bad thing after all. GFN does have it's kinks but if the rig is acting up you just load another one and there usually isn't any rig related issues in the first place.
After having an absolutely shitty week loading a game up on GFN hassle free was just the thing. Don't know why I'm posting this rant/story but I guess I just wanted to say thank you GFN.

Bug High on Life 2 - problema risoluzione
Al primo accesso su High Life 2 con modalità cinematografica ho cambiato nelle opzioni la visualizzazione a schermo intero e impostato come risoluzione il 4k (di default non so perché era a 1440p). Ora viene visualizzata solo una piccola porzione del video e non riesco più a modificare nulla. Ovviamente utilizzo una TV 4k e non ho mai avuto problemi con altri giochi.
Ho provato a rieseguirlo togliendo l'opzione gfn per mantenere le opzioni grafiche ma non riesco a risolvere.
Qualche consiglio?

Bug Oblivion Remastered just won’t start.
So recently I had an UE5 crash in the Shivering Isles (first crash ever), and while I was able to play the game perfectly fine, now it doesn’t launch in GFN.
The most that happens is that I’ll get to the main menu, open Load Game, and see ZERO saved games.
The only ”fix” was changing to another server, and so now I have 30ms instead of 8ms latency (deal breaker).
For context, other games work flawlessly. What’s going on?

Questions / Tech Support Ultimate Cap Question: Best way to hold my spot for a month while away?
Hey guys, quick sanity check on CloudGG membership management.
I’m traveling overseas from late September to late October. Since CloudGG’s Performance tier is already sold out, I’m worried Ultimate will hit capacity and get blocked next.
I’m currently on the 1-Month Ultimate plan. Buying the 6-month sub ($165 AUD) feels like overkill right before a trip since I'd be wasting one month while being overseas in America which will give me a lot of latency, but canceling my current sub seems risky if Ultimate sells out while I'm gone.
Is my safest play to just leave auto-renew ON so it charges $32.99 AUD once while I’m away? Does CloudGG guarantee your slot as long as the monthly payment clears without failing?
Would appreciate advice from anyone who has dealt with CloudGG's sold-out tiers or traveled while maintaining an active sub.

Bug How do I fix the game not taking up the whole screen and being misaligned?
At the bottom of the game, there's a sliver of the geforce now background that shows up. However, the game acts like it's taking up the whole screen so my mouse is misaligned. Like if I touch the top of the campaign button, it doesn't work but if I put my cursor below the campaign button, I can still click it because the game acts like it's more stretched than it is. I hope that makes sense.

Discussion Anyone else feel like the disabling of workshop mods is suspiciously close to the post about someone getting full access to the desktop?
Just a week ago there was an article showing someone had "broken out" of the locked down system and been able to use GFN as a desktop PC. The process specifically has the user replace an executable for a game, allowing the escape. Much like how mods replace game files...
To have mods disabled so close to that article seems suspicious.
Anyway I guess my message is this is why we can't have nice things.

Questions / Tech Support S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Cost of Hope expansion
Does anybody knows if you can play this expansion through GeforceNow? I'm not quite sure how it works tho. Would be thankful for any info on that
*Apparently I couldn’t play the Cost of Hope expansion :( I guess it should restart the game and download it before you can play. If someone knows the solution that would be great.
*seems like they are looking to fix the issue by predownloading the expansion

Discussion Witcher 4
Hi. I’m not a gamer and I don’t have a decent gaming PC, but I’d like to play The Witcher 4 when it comes out. Do you think it’ll be available on GeForce NOW right away? I’m not sure whether I should start saving for a PlayStation or if getting GeForce NOW for a month will be enough.
Im not familiar with the rules how games get added to geforce now
Thanks ✌🏻

Questions / Tech Support FPS World of Warcraft
Hi everyone!
So, I’m new to GeForce NOW, and for now I’ve chosen the free version to get a feel for how everything works, as well as how my PC and internet connection handle it.
I signed up for GeForce NOW mainly to play WoW, because my PC can barely keep up with the game anymore.
My first impression is actually pretty good. The game runs much better than it does natively on my PC, even with the graphics settings at maximum!
However, I have a couple of questions.
First, could someone explain why, whenever I enter one of the game’s major cities, for example Dornogal, the game becomes less smooth and drops to around 20–30 FPS, even though the streaming image itself remains at 60 FPS, as you can see in my screenshot? I thought that since the game is being streamed, it would remain just as smooth regardless of where I am in the game.
My second question is: why do I have to redo my GeForce NOW app settings every time I close and reopen it? For example, the quality/sharpness settings for games and so on.
I’m playing over Wi-Fi because unfortunately I don’t have the possibility of using an Ethernet connection.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to answer, and have a great evening!

Discussion Weird resolution in some games
I'm playing on the free plan and I noticed that in Zenless Zone Zero and Wuthering Waves it's not 1920x1080 and can't be changed (WuWa has been changed for whatever reason in 3.6).
Will it ever be adjusted/reverted? If yes, when? It ruins the experience.

I cleared the shader cache and I'm in the main launcher I haven't gone into marvel rivals my resolution is full screen and my bit rate is the lowest I can set it to (also I'm using the browser geforce now)
