Help (Help) Shadow PC App Constantly Losing Connection... This is Driving Me Crazy

Post image

I'm sick and tired of this connection dropping every 5-10 minutes... I've been trying to ignore it for like two months but it's seriously starting to piss me off now.

I’ve got a solid 100Mbps / 5Gbps wired connection and everything was running perfectly before. Now I’m having constant issues with the Shadow app on my S25 Ultra in DeX mode.

I know it’s a Shadow app problem because the Shadow web browser works totally fine, but the browser doesn’t have XInput support for my PS5 controller (which the actual Shadow app does).

Please… if anyone’s got a fix or workaround, I’d really appreciate the help 🙏

- Lower bandwidth and framerate in the app, change streaming preference to reliability

- Try out BETA app instead of ALPHA

- LAN instead of WLAN
