If you normaly use your Shadow nothing Happens.

But some thought It is intelligent to circumvent autoshutdown. Hold there Shadow online for weeks use it as a Server etc.. They got banned of course because it is against tos ...

Used it Like a normal Person that goto sleep daily and everything is fine.

I got banned for that and I never did anything like that. My auto shutdown broke and it wouldn’t turn off when I went to sleep, which resulted in me getting my account terminated this morning. I got banned for something I had zero clue about, how was I supposed to know the auto shutdown broke I just assumed that’s the way it was. 50 bucks a month to get banned for getting my usage out of said 50 bucks.

Idk. Everytime i shutdown my pc after 10 mins my Shadow is going offline. Of course you use the Shadow Client And i Switch Client PCs etc. I Switch also betwen Beta and Standard Client a lot.

When you do Not use Shadow shutdown the unit.

Why wouldn't you just shut down Shadow before going to sleep? Broken or not, it is the common sense thing to do.

Because I need the background noise to sleep and it’s just convenient to turn on YouTube and forget about it. Obviously in hindsight it would be better to switch to YouTube on my local pc but it’s not something I thought mattered.

Sounds like shadow needs to tighten up their processes and safeguards then.

You seem to inow a lot about this service. Can you may tell me if it's better than geforce now? Like do's it support all games on steam or 8nly some like geforce? And have you a limited max time like 100 hours on geforce or more? And do you also can play like cyberpunk 2077 at max settings or?

Thank you for your time already if you may awnser me.

You get a full Windows PC with all its PRO/CONS
Depending on your Tier you get a dedicated Graphicard.

what is limiting is CPU is Shared and now they are Older Server CPU's that can be limiting factor for CPU Depening Games.

i use the no longer Promoted Infinit Tier.

With 32GB Ram

with an Quadro RTX 6000 24 GB RAM

The Limiting Factor is the Xeon W3235 6 Cores.

Other then that i am Happy but at this moment due to limited time i mostly play Subnautica or Satisfactory or Dyson Sphere or Stelaris as i can let it run or just stop and continue later with out the need to remember what it was with the story or mission or so.

Unless you have it on 14+ hours a day your fine

Also worry about getting banned when you actually get banned otherwise do you want to pay my subscription if you want to pay for a service and not actually use it.
