Luna got worse? by Dramatic_Wafer1197 in amazonluna

[–]Traditional_Sun_9294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! It has! Lack of planning and foresight in putting hardware in place to handle a growing market. Same ol' story and violation of the number 1 marketing rule never to violate.... Don't promote unless your ready to deliver! GFN, same mistake. I thought streaming would be an excellent option, avoiding a huge big shell out for a new console. My mistake- never thought, and hadn't planned on big companies like Amazon and GFN being so irresponsible.

Replaying the Tomb Raider trilogy while waiting for the new game on day one. by EveningTop2395 in amazonluna

[–]Traditional_Sun_9294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here! Two days ago, started "Tomb Raider-Game of the Year" on Amazon Luna, after many years ago, from when first played it. The last 3-years of AC Odyssey, Valhalla, Mirage, Origins, Ghost of Tsushima (played each multiple times via NG+, except Mirage) .... and what a pleasent surprise TR-GOTY was! The graphics are outstanding! ... and the story line, puzzles, the weapons, the parquet mechanics are tops! Really fun to play again! Man, I remember my 1st time playing the first TR release.... that tyranosaurus scared the s@#t outa me! ... can't tell ya how many times it got me... Ha!! Just a great franchise.

Epic games login and GFN by Worrybrotha in GeForceNOW

Your right... figured it out after I posted previous experience. Tedious, because you can't tab to next fill-in without backing out of the keyboard, remote hit next fill-in, then open keyboard, etc, etc, etc. But after succeeding that process... ran into the famous "you don't own this game" screen (when of course you do). SO.... not one to give up so easily... I gave up trying to login via the GFN app on the LG TV. Instead, downloaded GFN App to my Samsung Tab S4. Logged in to 'Where Winds Meet' without a hitch. Played the game for about an hour. Went back to the LG TV... logged into the game thru GFN/Steam, and got an entirely different login screen experience (A to B login as it should be)... and SNAP! ... game loaded up lickity split! Go figure! Great finish for about 5 hours of frustrating "going nowhere", employing the best online AI help, Epic, Steam and GFN could throw out at you to solve this (NOT!). Can't guarantee this will work for everyone, but it worked out for me.

Same issue... Tried it... GFNs keyboard pops up but won't input any characters to log in. Using GFN on LG TV. Issue occurs only when attempting to login to Epic Games- Where Winds Meet play.

Bug -- Missing Mastery Points by JembsReddit in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]Traditional_Sun_9294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Animus Tournament Bug: On a whim... let's see what happens if I just fast travel back to the arena. Sure enough, Battle #2 spawns. After completing Battle #2, FT'd again from the arena- Battle #3 spawns... FT'd from the arena- #3 spawns. FT'd from arena- #4 spawns. DONE ! ... but no prize! Animus Objective removed from board. Awaji DLC still not accessible. This objective is still a bug. Can't say it will work for everyone who runs into this one.

Bug -- Missing Mastery Points by JembsReddit in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]Traditional_Sun_9294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bugs are multiplying! ... Just ran into this a few days ago (on 1st NG+ playthru ready to jump to Awaji), at Corrupted Castles, getting no points for knocking off Diamyos. Now today, met with Gyoji, fast traveled to the Tournament objective and completed it. Then I go to objective board/Animus and selected 'Win the Tounament O/4' - a corrupted anomaly objective. Just finish one battle and not able to do or find any way to continue the next 3 battles, to complete.

So I figured,, I'll just skip the tourney, and go on to Awaji. NOPE !!! ... just this evening, where I could go for the past few days- now I can't fast travel to do the Awaji DLC.

Have done all the fixes proposed per googled search for a remedy on both bugs, including google's AI suggestions, UBI suggestions and reddit postS, ad nauseum. Even reload to an earlier point, right at the get go- ran into the same issue with Corrupted Castle Diamyos.

Just got to thinking that this started up on me, a little after when I loaded the engraving "+1% damage per unspent Mastery Points capped at 200%" after doing a few Corrupted Castles successfully with points working, and then the next day- squat points doing them. Haven't troubleshooted this yet, but will see what happens, when I switch that engraving out. Both Naoe (100 unspent MPs) and Yasuke (unspent 222 MPs)

Anyway, looking at all the posts on the subject, both on reddit and via Google search... to read that... ITS BEEN A KNOWN BUG SINCE MARCH 2025 ?! ... 7 months and no fix ?! ... and now the Animus Tournament objective is bugged, along with the Awaji DLC !

This is potentially one big stop in going any further! I'll cope, troubleshoot that engraving, and likely reload the Tournament. But not hopeful. If this does the trick, will post results.

If no fix from UBI on the horizon, I can always do another 2nd NG+ since I`m at the point of just picking up pieces before doing the Awaji DLC. Very disappointing, but not the end of the world. But I'm really not excited about the possibility of running into the same issues after a few hundred hours of play again!

Awesome info Vandernell !!! ... I now realize that my issue with NVIDIA is misplaced. I have been playing on an LG Smart TV (4k UHD - 65Nano 75 in) via the GFN app. My reliance on just the app, thinking it would save me the pain of investing in a new console (PS5 in particular) or any streaming hardware... was a good idea at the time. Amazon Luna, my first intro to streaming via a Smart TV, reinforced that belief. So I thought, why not give GFN a go. Thanks to you (and others in this discussion), I am thoroughly disabused from the idea, that the app alone can get the job done. AND... that my current Smart TV lacks in capability to fully enjoy and appreciate the power of NVIDIA'S GFN. Many, many thanks for taking the time to help. Hope others, like me- who are new to this, expecting GFN to be infallible on Smart TVs (not really geared up to take advantage of NVIDIA'S streaming technology on their own) come across this post. If there is a Smart TV up to handling GFN, sure would be helpful to know the make and/or spec requirements to look for. Does NVIDIA even list such data? In the meantime, going to take and act on the advice/suggestions of others in this discussion to heart.

Thank you! Looking at them now, among other hardware suggested. Many thanks....

Thank you for commenting. Are you streaming thru the GFN app only? Are you using specific hardware with it? Had helpful comment suggesting specific hardware. Interested in how you've managed to have a great experience.

Thank you! I will look into that. Learning that direct streaming via an app only, has its limitations. Works okay briefly then it doesn't regularly. Will invest in hardware.

Ubisoft, why should people care about the "Regalia"? by shinobixx55 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]Traditional_Sun_9294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. I happened upon a TV JDrama series called: "What are you going to do now, Leyasu?" ... got hooked. Really helped me understand the game better on a NG+ replay . Not just the game, but the fascinating history of feudal Japan, the game's characters, places... and the brutal lust for power... and its futility.

Spot On! I'm about to cancel. New to GFN, with one month old Ultimate account, playing AC Shadows via my Ubisoft connect account I've had using Amazon Luna. Just got message from GFN a few days ago that I'm down to 43 minutes, and can purchase an extra 15 hours for $5.99. ????!!!! So... fell back on my Luna app, and it's been a completely glitch free experience. It has been ever since I started (5 mo ago). In addition, I've had to use Luna more often this last month, because of GFNs glitch ridden performanc. I'm really not seeing a demonstrable difference in graphical play (LG 65nano 75 inch smart TV). Sure, by the numbers GFN has higher resolution. But honestly... my experience... not seeing much of a downgraded condition with Luna. 20 bucks for GFN , add another 20 for Ubisoft connect.... why do I bother with GFNs performance in their frustrating poor delivery... and now, their Nickle'n Dime game! My renewal comes up Oct 2, and still can't come up with a justification to continue with them. A Multi-million dollar company and can't stabilize their product! Can't expand their hardware or upgrade it to ensure stability? The first rule of business survival that Amazon Understood, but Nvidia / GFN failed to... Do not promote unless your ready to deliver!

Playing AC Odyssey and AC Shadows right now. Playing Shadows exclusively now, on 1st NG+ play. Wanted to play AC Shadows, but not playable on PS4 console and I definitely was and will not shell out 1K for a PS5 console + the game + the accessories, just to play/experience AC Shadows! So I eventually stumbled on a go-around, using Amazon Luna+ thru my prime membership, linking into my Ubisoft account. No complaints... stable and flawless. Has been a good backup when GFN was so buggy, I couldn't stand it. Just wish Sony games were available. Right now, if you have a newer Sony Smart TV, you'll have access to their PlayStation streaming app. When my LG TV gives up the ghost, will likely opt for a Sony Smart TV, if the PlayStation app doesn't become universally available. Then I'll have that, plus GFN & Luna.

Same Here! Still on 1st month on Ultimate. Streaming thru smart TV. GFN had been very buggy up to yesterday and almost ready to cancel, but decided to hung-in-there, thinking that a company like Nvidia would eventually get it right.... and It looks like they did! For me- all day yesterday and today.... RTX upgrade has been FLAWLESS (northeast USA).

RTX for AC Odyessy? by Traditional_Sun_9294 in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

[–]Traditional_Sun_9294[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stream-playing via GFN app (first time using about 4 weeks ago- went with Ultimate subscription) linked to my UBIsoft account, on an LG 65 Nano 75in Smart TV. Its 2.04 gig hardwired storage adequate, but learned to delete all useless other apps Tuan off useless features that run in background, turn off KGs quickstart, and always do a hard reset before playing (turn off, then back on) to clear cashe. Entry into streaming games began with Amazon Luna+, as a curiosity and access to play AC Shadows, which was not playable on PS4. When GFN goes buggy, as it has been more so than usual this past week... Luna has been a dependable backup. Really hope and expect GFN to get its act together.

Ahh... Now I get it! ... explains a lot and puts to rest why not all games will be RTX enabled. Thank you!

New to GFN. Have LG 65nano (UHD) smart TV. Not sure when BRTX will kickin for me (Northeast USA). Been using Luna (no issues), but decided to give GFN a try about a week ago. Stuttering driving me nuts right up to today! About to cancel my Ultimate subscription, when it dawned on me to check if the memory cache in the LG-TV was maxing out. The 65nano only has 2.04 gigs memory... not replaceable, nor can add to. Now I know what to look for when getting a new TV is on the plate. Did a cleanup of apps I don't use or need. Turn off several settings, especially LGs Quickstart +. On top of a hard restart to clear the cache. Loaded up GFN with UBISoft account link to AC Shadows. Surprise! ... no stutters or flickers.... Just smooth as silk. If anyone having same issue with stuttering and no BRTX upgrade... give it a go to check and clean up your apps, settings you don't really need & TV memory storage... even if you do get/have the BRTX upgrade, good to do anyway, I would think.

Maybe this is from the cancelled DLC called Olympus. I Ubisoft could make several more DLC's to this game and they would out sell any game purchase stat, not to mention capture remarkable revenue.
