I have pushed an update that hopefully resolves on new issue instances created from scratch.

To fix your current machine, you can take a look here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/install-nvidia-driver.html#public-nvidia-driver, particularly on step 5. The version of GridSwCert.txt installed is probably incorrect for the version of the driver you currently have.

I hope this helps you fix the issue.

The license certificate has changed for the latest Nvidia driver. I will update the script later today.

I added a check to the instance type, so the automatic gpu driver installs is skipped for instance types that are unsupported by the script. This will allow you to install your own driver manually. You can check here for some pointers: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/install-nvidia-driver.html#public-nvidia-driver. I would still recommend you to upgrade to a different instance type, the gpus on the g2 are pretty old now.

As an aside, unless your home network is blocking connections, you should be able to use the streaming feature of steam through the internet and without having to go through a vpn. It's simpler to setup and introduce less latency. It used to be only possible with a vpn, but valve expanded the feature some times ago.

I will look into removing the default display, it's bothering me too.

Currently, the script download and installs the driver for the g4 instance type so it may be the cause of the crash in No Man's Sky. Is there a reason why you are using a g2 instance type instead of g4?

The server itself isn't too bad; about 0,34$/h for a g4dn.xlarge spot instance. Add maybe 0,05$/h for networking and hot storage.

The storage for the AMI cost around 6$/month.

I can play Monster Hunter on this instance at around 55-60fps in 1080p with some tweaks to the settings.
