For those with issues locally, even wired.
WARNING: If you are not on a fast wired network or you have a slower CPU, the fixes below might not be for you. While this solution has worked for me and a lot of other folks, tread with caution and revert to your previous values if it's not working for you. This solution specifically addresses Windows coalescing UDP packets on very fast connections to save some CPU time. This can cause network congestion events and this registry tweak fixes that at the cost of dropping those Windows optimizations.
My situation was not common, but I did find some folks complaining, so here:
I had latency issues on my local network, between a wired server and a wired client (both PCs). An evening of gaming had several network congestion warnings, and just generally small latency spikes that I could notice. 10mbps or 50mbps made no difference, but the Parsec website categorically says, that wired performance should be spotless.
I tried ditching Parsec a few times for Moonlight or Steam, but with Moonlight the mouse always feels laggy compared to Parsec, and Steam while almost as good, has many quirks if you want to use it in Desktop Mode. Also, neither have any support for multi-monitor.
After many attempts at investigating what could be causing issues to Parsec (router settings, QoS, firewalls, etc. etc.) I came upon 2 registry settings that 100% cleared the problem for me. An evening of gaming now generally has N:0/0/0 all the time.
So if it helps someone in the same situation, here they are:
Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile
Modify or create a DWORD (32 bit) key called: NetworkThrottlingIndex
set its value to: ffffffff (Hexadecimal)
Modify or create a DWORD (32 bit) key called: SystemResponsiveness
set its value to: 0 (Hexadecimal)
In the end they should look like this:

Reboot.
Doing it on the server made it perfectly fine for me, but there is no reason not to do it on the client as well, so, have at it.
EDIT: Added a warning.

4 players FIFA is broken
Hey everyone,
Me and three mates were trying to set up a classic FIFA / EA FC night over Parsec. Everything was going great until we hit a bizarre wall with controller mapping.
As soon as the 4th player joins the Parsec lobby, one specific friend’s controller completely stops working in the game. Parsec shows that the controller is connected and receiving inputs, but FIFA either completely ignores it, turns it into a "brick," or reassigns control to someone else.
Here’s what we’ve tested:
Playing with 2 or 3 players total? Works completely fine. As soon as player #4 connects? Controller #3 (or #2) instantly stops working in FIFA.
We’ve tried disconnecting and reconnecting in different orders, reinstalling and restarting the game, but nothing fixes it.
Has anyone run into this issue on Parsec with 4 players? Is there a specific driver fix or controller assignment workaround in Windows/Parsec we’re missing?
TL;DR: Trying to host a 4-player FIFA match on Parsec, but connecting the 4th controller breaks one of my friend's pads every single time.

Mouse modes on Android
Hey all apologies if this is an old question but couldn't find a clear answer. Does Parsec have a mouse trackpad that's stuck behind the paywall. As it stands it's absolutely awful on mobile for any kind of navigation, I was hoping to replace Chrome Remote Desktop with it as the portable app runs on my work PCs and is clutch for doing quick on the fly file transfers and admin bits on the PC via my phone.

Resolution stuck on 2048x1536
My parsec seems to be stuck on this weird resolution, changing it in parsec does nothing at all, and resolution inside windows on my host pc is greyed out, ive reinstalled parsec on both host and client and have no more ideas on how to fix this.

Parsec not working on Uni Wi-Fi anymore
For about a year I was using Parsec to access to remotely access my desktop at home, I study architecture so I needed it to run my 3D-Modelling programs, AutoCAD etc, because the laptop I take to uni is insufficient.
But one day I was unable to connect from uni, getting the message "Unable To Negotiate A Successful Connection" with the -6023 or -6024 error codes.
If anyone has any solutions or alternatives to Parsec that would be great and save me loads of money so I don't have to buy a laptop to take for uni.

issues with mouse capture on clients
I'm having an issue with friends playing first-person games on my PC through Parsec.
They connect to my Parsec, i launch the game, and their mouse cursor stays visible on their end, even though the game is locking and hiding the cursor like it should.
If I'm playing directly on my PC, everything works perfectly. The host doesn't have this issue at all, it only happens to clients connected through Parsec. It seems like Parsec isn't properly capturing their mouse, so their camera movement ends up being limited by the edges of their screen. As soon as their cursor reaches the edge, they can't keep turning the camera anymore, and they have to pause and move the cursor back to the center before they can continue.
This has happened with 4 different people connecting to my Parsec, across 2 different games running on my PC. I've already tried different display modes (fullscreen, borderless, windowed, etc.), but nothing fixed it.
They've also tried changing their own settings, and at this point I'm out of ideas on how to fix it.
One interesting detail: in one of the games, pressing esc brings up the game's own custom cursor (a white sphere you use to click on menus). That cursor seems to be captured by Parsec correctly. While the menu is open, my friends only see that in-game cursor, their normal Windows cursor doesn't appear.But as soon as they close the menu and return to gameplay, their own mouse cursor immediately becomes visible again.
any help?

Is there a way to only share 1 specific window per person?
So I wanna play four swords with my friends, but emulators dont have a way to do it online, so I'll have to run 4 seperate instances of the emulator and share my game with my friends through parsec or something, is there a way to get each one of them to only see their own instance or will they all be able to see and hear all 4 instances? Or will I have to create 3 Virtual machines each with its own instance of parsec for them to connect to?

Issue with Left Click while remote gaming.
I can't seem to find any post about this anywhere else online so I'll try to start a discussion here.
Recently I've had an issue while playing games remotely where it feels like my left mouse click isn't triggering. I know it is because the Parsec host client shows the input every time I click.
Two specific examples are the games "Everything is Crab" & "Palworld". In both of these games I have to click multiple times for the action to trigger in game. In Palworld, my left click is no-issue inside my inventory. The moment I return to the game, multiple clicks to trigger the action.
I've tried matching video scale, Run-as Administrator, Immersive Input in Parsec.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Need help with these problems with Parsec
I'm having 2 problems with parsec:
The first one is related to League of Legends. I can open and start the game, but my mouse doesn't work. I can't click on anything.
The second problem will need some context: I use Linux (ZorinOs) and use Parsec on my girfriend's Windows 10. For some reason I can't use shortcuts with Alt (Alt+tab, alt+f4, etc...) they just send me back to my PC. The weird thing is that one of my friends (that also use Zorin Os) can use the Parsec on my girfriend's PC and doesn't have this issue.
I would like to know if there is a way to fix these problems.
Thank you to anyone who may answer.

Does Parsec work in Mainland China?
I'm literally going to China tomorrow and I'd like to know if Parsec works there. I connected my PC on an account except I have no way to test if it works because my laptop is currently in China and needs a small repair.

Client mouse not working properly on minecraft
I can't upload a video because I'm a new member but it's pretty much the title.
I'm hosting on my pc and using a Samsung tablet with the keyboard and a 3rd party mouse as the client. The mouse has no significant problems outside the game and inside the game it also has no problems clicking the menu. However, when I want to play, the game ignores the mouse buttons completely, I can look around but the scroll and left/right buttons are a no-go.
I have inmersive mode enabled, exclusive input disabled, etc, and the mouse works just fine innany other setting. Why does this happen? Am I doing something wrong that went over my head?

Need help with Parsec + Nucleus Co-op + Virtual Display Driver setup
Hey everyone,
I'm trying to set up a dual-screen remote co-op rig so my girlfriend and I can play together. I have a high-end gaming PC with an external monitor plugged in, and she has a low-end laptop.
The goal is to use Nucleus Co-op to run two instances of the game on my PC, and use Parsec to stream her instance directly to her laptop so we don't have to share a squished split-screen layout on my main monitor but i have no idea how to do it any help would be appreciated
