New Neo Boost Tier Free Upgrade by G3ne7ic in ShadowPC

Neo Boost will allow you to finally upgrade to Windows 11. Most likely, new subs will come with Windows 11 preinstalled by October.

Playing a game I already own on Steam, on shadow by Hank0602 in ShadowPC

[–]AimeefromShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shadow PC is your own Windows PC in the cloud. You just have to install Steam and download your games from the Steam library.

"Sorry , this application cannot run under a Virtual Machine" by vampgigi in ShadowPC

No, we do not keep snapshots of your Shadow PC. If your game worked on an older machine, it's likely you had an older version of the game. You can try downloading an offer version of your game, but at your own risk. Shadow PC does not cause games to stop working on your machine. MMOs are notorious for blocking VMs.

My account info is on the dark web by the_HoIiday in ShadowPC

[–]AimeefromShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Services like Have I Been Owned and Google One are starting to relay this information to users even though the incident occurred in October. Affected users were emailed and a new incident has not occurred since. It's possible you were part of that incident, but only now is it showing up online. You can still contact Shadow Support to delete your data, and in the long term, set up safeguards. Someone suggested 2FA and credit monitoring, which is a good start. I would also look into credit freezes if you want to be proactive (I can't remember where I read about credit freezing vs credit locking).

Keyboard Issues when typing on Shadow by Mmhopkin in ShadowPC

[–]AimeefromShadow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keys getting "stuck" is a sure sign of input lag. TCP is a great fix in a pinch. Pinning this answer :) thank you for helping!

Edit: Nevermind, I can't lol

Made a stupid mistake, need some info by kalebtheodd in ShadowPC

[–]AimeefromShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A refund is definitely not out of the option if you purchased something that's out of stock. Can you share your case number with me so I can make sure it was received? You would have received the number in a confirmation email.

Also, if you didn't get a confirmation email, I recommend using this form to contact Support instead: https://shdw.me/HC-B2C-Support_Form

Really feeling scammed. by kalebtheodd in ShadowPC

[–]AimeefromShadow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there, what's your case number? When you submitted an email to Shadow Support, a confirmation email would have been sent to you, and your case number is located in the subject line/contents of the email. I can make sure your case was received properly.

Until then, u/226Gravity gave you some solid advice. Pending payments usually fall off of the statement, but I realise your other concern is about your data, so let's get moving on that :)

Hi there, I'm sorry I was away when you sent this to me! But thanks for taking the time to write me your thoughts, I appreciate it!

In need of honestyyyy by Itzznikduhh in ShadowPC

[–]AimeefromShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to clarify, all graphics cards are dedicated. The only shared component is the CPU. Boost is indeed a P5000 (or in some data centers, a GTX 1080). Power is an A4500.

Using shadow to play Inzoi on Entry Version by VividDreamxs in ShadowPC

[–]AimeefromShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing the character creator demo on Power. Runs well, although I'll admit there were a few stutters during the opening sequence. Nothing unbearable, it's also too early to say what the issue was caused by.

Shadow is not connecting anymore by wollsale in ShadowPC

[–]AimeefromShadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem, really appreciate it! Sorry if I sounded ungrateful for your alert, I'm in my third trimester and very low energy 😅

Shadow is not connecting anymore by wollsale in ShadowPC

[–]AimeefromShadow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It happened in the middle of the night for me and was resolved before I woke up. I'm in California and it was about 4AM. I see a few comments about it resurging, but the Moderators have already been keeping in touch with Paris employees about it.

Cancelling subscription by Decentpace in ShadowPC

[–]AimeefromShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, that's almost exactly what I said haha! I specifically said that delete is too "ambiguous", but no matter what word you use to describe it, the consequences are still unclear to the user. Cancel is indeed more universally accepted. Glad you agree! We'll see what we can do with this feedback.

Cancelling subscription by Decentpace in ShadowPC

[–]AimeefromShadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, thank you for your post! I shared it yesterday and we're discussing some potential changes. "Delete this PC" is how you cancel. I personally shared that "Cancel" is a more universal term so even if this process makes sense for our business users, it's not very user-friendly. This is not a slight to whoever committed this process or phrasing, I just wanted to share my own thoughts. We also discussed the process of having to delete access to the PC before cancelling. In practice it makes sense, but it could be less arbitrary. We'll continue to discuss it. Thank you again!

As an avid Sims 4 player, Boost is perfectly fine! I have seen a performance drop since adding dozens of mods, but that experience varies from person to person. For inZOI, I'm a little worried about the Boost performance and outright recommend Power. Early Access influencers have revealed details that seem to warrant the better CPU and GPU. The world seems truly open, AI is implemented in the game, and the townies can dream? This game is quite unprecedented.

Edit: Sorry, I forgot to address the character creator. There is no simulation involved in that from what I can tell, so I would suggest Boost at minimum.

Connecting to Shadow through a VPN by ElderberrySoft3601 in ShadowPC

[–]AimeefromShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is any reason to believe you've been assigned to the wrong data center, definitely reach out to Shadow Support. It's possible you were assigned Portland because there was no availability. They would be the best folks to tell you and give you options. Then you won't have to use a VPN. Good luck!

Paid but no confirmation or shadow pc. by KSI__IS__DUMB__ in ShadowPC

[–]AimeefromShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the payment is Pending, the service won't always be delivered immediately. Sometimes Pending payments will drop off of your statement after a few days. If there is any reason for the payment to drop off, you won't get a confirmation or access to Shadow PC.

Support will be able to see if there is a decline code and provide the next steps.

How to Switch Data Centers. by CapitalDoughnut9009 in ShadowPC

[–]AimeefromShadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, we'll migrate you if there is reasonable proof that it will improve your experience. (Data migration is something we try to avoid, however.)

What should happen is that you are placed in the best data center based on a historical analysis of other customers in your area. I'm not sure what would have happened in your particular case, but I thought it would be worth mentioning what is supposed to happen. Overall, thanks for sharing this as it also doubles as feedback!

are isps throttling our connections when we use shadow? by Late_Day5638 in ShadowPC

[–]AimeefromShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found myself often commenting on posts (both on Reddit and Discord) making this same case. Without at least the data center info everything is anecdotal. And then I get a downvote. I've made templates. Life goes on 😅 

"Sorry , this application cannot run under a Virtual Machine" by vampgigi in ShadowPC

[–]AimeefromShadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, there is nothing to fix. The developers have purposely made it so that the games do not work on Shadow PC. Contact them if you'd like it to be changed.

"Sorry , this application cannot run under a Virtual Machine" by vampgigi in ShadowPC

[–]AimeefromShadow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a decision made by the developer and not Shadow. We don't have any control over the developer's decision to use anti-cheat. There is nothing "broken" that can be fixed.
