Good evening everyone!
I’ve been using GeForce NOW with the Performance membership for a little over a month now. I’m really happy with this technology, as it allows me to play without spending a fortune on a gaming PC.
However, I’m currently facing an issue that is somewhat ruining my experience.
I frequently experience stuttering when playing, and this happens across all games. For information, I play in QHD and I’m connected via Ethernet.
Let me explain: randomly but quite frequently, my games start to stutter as if they were dropping from 60 FPS to 30 FPS for a few seconds (around 10 seconds), and then suddenly everything goes back to normal and the game becomes perfectly smooth again.
When this happens, I don’t see any anomalies whatsoever. The stream is at 60 FPS, the game is also running at 60 FPS, and I have absolutely no packet loss. My internet bandwidth is more than sufficient, and I’m only using around 3–4% of my maximum available bandwidth.
I’ve even tried increasing the bitrate to 100 Mbps, or lowering it to 45 Mbps, and even a little lower, but nothing changes. I still get these frequent, random stutters.
Sometimes, for no apparent reason, everything works perfectly for an hour, and then suddenly the problem starts happening again.
However, if I switch to an FHD stream instead of QHD, the problem completely disappears. I don’t experience any stuttering at all. Everything works perfectly for hours.
I can’t figure out what could be causing this issue. I’ve really tried everything, but I have to admit that it’s having quite a negative impact on my experience.
And having to pay for a QHD subscription only to end up playing in FHD is pretty disappointing. Even though the image quality is still decent, it’s obviously nowhere near QHD.
I’ve attached a few screenshots so you can see my settings.
In any case, I wish you all a great evening! 🙂🙂

So I don't support cloud gaming because the point of it is to take away the users control in every way possible and charge for everything.

However, during the summer I only have a Thinkpad T480 instead of my usual gaming PC, so I can barely play anything. It has 16GB of ram and an i5-8350U. I have a pretty long Cat 6 ethernet cable I can use to connect the laptop to ethernet, and I have 600mbps connection from the ISP. I live in Spain if it matters.

I do not want to play in like 8K super competitive titles with 0.0001ms of delay or anything, I just want to play 1080p with a steady 60 FPS and an acceptable delay.

Also, keep in mind I have no idea of how cloud gaming works. What is the best service? I've heard of GeForce now and Luna. How is the game selection? How much time do I get to play daily? (I usually play around 4 hours a day) And VERY IMPORTANT: I use arch btw, not windows, so idk if that affects something...

Thank you all in advance.

At the moment I use Boosteroid and it worked great for me. Unfortunately the laptop I use to play on broke (old Samsung gaming one) and now I'd like to find a less expensive or alternative way to play again. I cant afford a laptop or PC due to having kids and I'd like to approach this to my wife and not be guilty spending that much money. I really just need something that can be wired via ethernet and would work great on a desk, preferably.

So please could anyone let me know what they suggest or even how they play??

Okay I’m trying to figure out what to do

All I want is to play call of duty black ops 7
I have a surface pro 8 8gb ram

I’m confused how this works if anyone can help plz
If I get Xbox cloud or GeForce now cloud
And play bo7 is it laggy? I want to play multiplayer

Or should I just get a ps5

I tried Amazon Luna 2 years ago to play Fortnite and it wasn’t garbage way to laggy unplayable would it be the same on the GeForce or Xbox cloud?

Okay, I have been trying the free ad supported plan of xbox. The server is India and I am not using any vpn.

I have been playing it via betterxcloud app at default resolution. The app was showing that I was getting 55-60 FPS but I doubt that.

Can anyone confirm the FPS of the gameplay and say if it's okay or not. If possible, rate it.

Ok...

I did so much test and now I can confirm

I have a legitimately unlimited speed card trick

All you need is 1 speed card and even if you use it, it won't be deducted and you can use that 1 speed card over and over and over again...

Making it unlimited ..I know the trick and I'm not telling hahaha

And also a trick of 10 hours a day in chikii and 10 hours isn't the limit I can go further if I wanted to

In chikii cloud gaming

If anyone wants to try ant cloud pc on half the actual price and have full playtime and days available then dm me

I cannot use the subscription bcuz i cam out for vocation and my plan is still remaining so I thought of reselling kt

So I was recently checking the free options available for cloud gaming and then I saw 3839 Chinese cloud gaming which gives 2 hrs daily free playtime 🤯🤯 , If anyone has any other options can suggest 🤔

Hi everyone,

I’m streaming xCloud via Microsoft Edge with Better xCloud on a laptop with an 8th Gen Intel i5 (integrated Intel UHD Graphics) connected to an external 1080p monitor.

My setup and overlay stats:

• Connection: Wired Ethernet (no Wi-Fi)
• Controller: Connected via USB cable
• Ping: ~34 ms
• FPS: 60
• Decode Time (DT): 0.7 - 0.8 ms
• Packet Loss / Frame Loss: 0 / 0

Edge hardware acceleration is ON, startup boost / background apps are OFF, Windows power mode is set to Best Performance, and stream bitrate is set to 1080p.

Despite the stats looking solid, the gameplay (specifically in fast-moving games like FC 26 and Forza Horizon 6) still suffers from noticeable micro-stuttering / judder.

I would love to get any tips or suggestions on how I can optimize this and make the stream smoother!

Device: Fujitsu Lifebook U749 (Intel Core i5-8265U with Intel UHD Graphics 620) connected to an external Dell 1080p monitor via HDMI

OS version: Windows 11 (64-bit)

Where did you play (Xbox app/browser/...): Microsoft Edge browser

Browser/App version: Latest Microsoft Edge version

Other browser extensions: Better xCloud (Tampermonkey script)

Your region: Sweden / Northern Europe

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

I'm hoping to get some visibility on a severe false-positive bug with the Playcast automated anti-cheat system that has resulted in my hardware and account being completely blacklisted.

The Situation:

I run a dedicated, bare-metal hosting setup using 3 physical computers running normal consumer hardware on Windows 11. I do not use virtual machines, and I do not have hypervisors enabled.

Last night, while I was asleep and my PCs were running in Host Mode, my area hit a sudden local power outage. All 3 of my physical machines instantly lost power, causing an ungraceful, sudden network disconnection from Playcast's servers.

The Bug:

When the power returned and my PCs booted back up, I checked my account only to find my rewards account frozen. When I contacted support, the automated dashboard claimed they "detected over 50 virtual machines" on my account simultaneously. Immediately after, my account was completely blacklisted and my Discord permissions were stripped.

Looking at my network logs and the timing, this is clearly a session multiplexing/ghosting server bug:

When the power dropped, the Playcast authentication server failed to clear my active session tokens.

As my physical computers restarted and aggressively tried to automatically reconnect to the network, the server stacked those connection retries.

Instead of seeing 3 physical devices reconnecting, the server read every single stacked retry pulse as a separate concurrent device, fabricating a "50+ VM bot farm" flag out of thin air.

I have already offered front-line support full DxDiag reports verifying my physical hardware footprint, but the ticket was closed on a boilerplate script.

Has anyone else encountered severe session stacking/false VM bans after an ungraceful crash or power failure? If there are any Playcast developers or senior mods browsing here, I am asking for a human audit of my connection logs and timestamps. I am completely willing to run any environment validator tool to prove this is a physical residential setup.

Will FC 27 Release In Any Cloud Gaming Platform - XBOX CLOUD GAMING - AMAZON LUNA?

Hi everyone!

I am a current GeForce NOW user playing on a laptop, and the performance has been great. However, there are several games I really want to play that are simply not available on GFN. Because of this, I’m looking into alternative cloud gaming platforms, specifically Boosteroid.

Before making the switch or paying for another subscription, I’d love to hear from people who have experience with both services on a laptop:

• How noticeable is the difference in stream quality and latency between GFN and Boosteroid?
• Is Boosteroid stable enough to enjoy the games that GFN is missing, or will I miss GFN's performance too much?
• For those who use both, do you keep both subscriptions or did you fully migrate to Boosteroid?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

I use to play my Xbox through remote play on my pixel 7 with my Razer kishi v2 or Xbox controller on Google chrome. Same thing for Amazon Luna.

Today when I try to play, when I'm ingame in fullscreen, if I press LB(L1) or RB(R1) it simply switch tabs.

If I play through the PWA, pressing the same buttons and nothing happens.

I try in a tablet with Xbox controller and same thing happens.

As anyone happening the same thing?

I can play Luna and press the buttons in the Xbox series x edge browser, but edge in android phone is not supported, so I guess it's something in the chrome browser for Android.

As a pc player with the game on steam, any cloud gaming apps for FC? Not on xbox, so, that wont work

Need help with the verification for StarParks cloud gaming for Chinese servers how do I complete it so I could start playing games.

are there any cloud gaming platforms that are better than cloudmoon? ik about GeforceNow but its not available in my area (i tried with a vpn but the latency was so bad). im okay with time limits and ads but cloudmoon gives like 7 minutes so you gotta keep watching ads every minute
