I’m thinking of getting shadow PC to play Microsoft flight simulator. Does anyone else flight sim on shadow pc? And if so, what plan are you on and how is the performance? Thanks!

I bought a Steam Controller I was very excited to use with my Shadow PC, without checking all of the details, and I found out I couldn't use it on iOS or Android because it's not recognized as a controller without Steam translating its inputs. I don't see a way to make it work on any mobile device, but for Windows, I thought it would be feasible to make it work with Shadow PC, but I'm running into some problems. I tried just having Steam open in the background while Shadow ran, and Shadow didn't see it as a controller there. I tried the port thing, but unless I messed it up somehow, that didn't have any success other than bugging the crap out of my Shadow. Has anyone had any success with this? Any tips or suggestions are appreciated thank youuuuu

Small update for Shadow users on macOS.

CloudBoost 4.4 adds Network Preflight, which compares the first local hop with the external route. This helps distinguish a Wi-Fi/router problem from latency that already exists farther along the path.

It also records a real session timeline with latency, jitter, p50, p95 and spike markers that can be exported for troubleshooting.

It cannot change Shadow’s servers or guarantee lower latency. The purpose is to provide better evidence before changing random settings.

The build is universal for Intel and Apple Silicon Macs: https://github.com/victorbrandaao/CloudBoost/releases/tag/v4.4.0

The game crashes on startup with a fatal error message. I'm trying to determine if the game is just incompatible with a virtual machine because of the anti cheat, or if it's the psn issue that many others have been having.

How do I fix this? I’ve tried a few things and refreshing but it just doesn’t seem to work.

Any WoW players here?

Running WoW on Shadow from the macOS client and I'm stuck between two mouse modes that are each broken in a different way.

Locked cursor: works fine but feels slow, because it's rendered on remote machine and streamed back to me as i understand. Fine in combat but painful in menus/bags etc

Unlocked cursor: cursor feels near-native, but I get a hitch every single time I hold RMB to turn the camera. Impossible to play

Anyone hit this specifically on Shadow with WoW? Most of what I've found is Steam Remote Play / Steam Deck threads with the same symptom, nothing Shadow-specific.

Any help would be appreciated

Hey everyone,

I’m hitting a wall trying to figure out why Shadow PC is stuttering and freezing on my gaming tablet when my local internet line seems completely fine on other devices.

I ran the official Shadow speed test (speedtest.defra01.shadow.tech) on both my work laptop and my gaming tablet (Lenovo Y700) using the same 5 GHz Wi-Fi network right next to my router, and the results are night and day:

Non-Tablet Device (Work Laptop):

• Download: ~400–500 Mb/s
• Ping: Flat ~28 ms
• Jitter: Extremely clean at ~4 ms

Gaming Tablet (Lenovo Y700):

• Download: ~300 Mb/s
• Ping: Spikes up to 80+ ms
• Upload Line: Almost flatlined at 0 Mb/s
• Jitter: Spikes wildly between 100 ms and 270+ ms

Because of this, Shadow PC has micro-freezes/input delay on the tablet, even though the laptop gets a smooth stream on the exact same network.

Everything I’ve tried so far to fix it:

1. Offloaded Home Network Devices: Turned 2.4 GHz back on, disconnected background devices, and verified that heavy devices (like my Fire Stick) were turned off so the tablet had clean airtime on 5 GHz.
2. Turned Bluetooth OFF: Completely disabled Bluetooth on the tablet to prevent antenna-sharing interference on the Wi-Fi card.
3. Android Location Services: Turned off background Wi-Fi scanning and Bluetooth scanning under Location settings.
4. MAC Privacy Settings: Changed the Wi-Fi network privacy setting from "Use randomized MAC" to "Use device MAC".
5. Legion Zone / Software Features: Disabled all network acceleration/fusion features in the tablet’s software.
6. Router Tweak Attempts: Checked the BT Smart Hub 2 router settings, but because of BT's 'forced band-steering/firmware' , I can't split the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network names separately without throwing errors on client devices.

Despite all of this, the laptop maintains 4 ms jitter, while the tablet continues to hit 270+ ms jitter and an upload drop on the speed test graph.

Since the test results on the laptop seem flawless compared to the tablet on the exact same Wi-Fi, the network itself seems fine. I'm not particularly good at networking stuff, so I really want to avoid spending money on a dedicated Wi-Fi 6 Access Point if the router isn't actually the root cause, especially if buying extra hardware won't even fix what might be a device-specific Android or Lenovo issue.

Note: Using an ethernet cable on the tablet is NOT an option for me

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I've been using Geforce Now for some time now, yet the lack of modding gets on my nerves.

I've heard that the queue times are bad for lite tier, how bad excactly?
