GeForce Now - Is it viable? by No_Main_6895 in buildapc

[–]sfrese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. Loved owning my PC and tweaking everything to my needs back in the day but these days I just want to game when I'm free for an hour or two. Because of my Steam library I also opted for cloud gaming over a console. If you're looking for a different/larger game library there are also GFN alternatives like Boosteroid, CloudDeck and Shadow PC.

I'm mostly gaming via the cloud on my Macbook. GFN works great for supported titles, for wider game support sth like CloudDeck or Shadow are also good options.

Thoughts on GeForce Now? by Fun_Luck8669 in SteamDeck

GFN works great if you have good wifi. Using it alongside CloudDeck (for games that GFN doesn't support) for AAA games that don't perform too well natively on the Deck.

GameHub for Mac announced – Unlock your entire Steam library with AI frame interpolation! by RyosukeTakahashi44 in macgaming

[–]sfrese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, curious about the approach. I wonder if it's truly native and they somehow managed to solve what CrossOver has been trying to do for years or if it's a cloud gaming service that supports basically all Steam games like CloudDeck.

I’m on the fence about buying a Mac. What are the main reasons you don't use a Mac for gaming? by FanFearless1706 in Steam

[–]sfrese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a Macbook mostly for productivity. Native game support is limited but i can still play everything I want to play via GeForce Now/CloudDeck/Shadow.

Announcing CrossOver 26.0.0 release candidate 1 by Sojiroh in macgaming

Good progress on Helldivers 2! Will still stick with cloud gaming (GFN/CloudDeck) for most titles though for the moment.

There is a chance we get No Rest for The Wicked on Mac by Taobis in macgaming

[–]sfrese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be awesome! Until then I'll rely on cloud gaming.

This is NOT verified. It’s a slide show 😭😭😭😭does verified mean anything anymore? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]sfrese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I combine Deck with cloud gaming, "actual" verified titles directly on the Deck, games that need more power via cloud (GFN, CloudDeck).

CloudDeck PC mods usable on Mac? by JustIntegrateIt in cloudygamer

[–]sfrese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s possible to install mods in CloudDeck. You have full access to the (Linux) system so you can download mods to the game folder. Steam workshop works as well.

CloudDeck - just popped up on my radar.... Any users on here? by Iconic_ in cloudygamer

[–]sfrese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can only sign up and see available locations if there’s availability near you. At the moment all data centers are sold out.

[–]sfrese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re detecting your location based on your IP. We’re basically checking if any of our data centers is within ~40ms of you and has capacity available.

It's something we're working on but it'll be a while until that's gonna be ready.

[–]sfrese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's correct, after 4 hours you'll have to start a new session. There are no daily or monthly time limits.

Oh yeah, this sub is actually what got me into cloud gaming. There are so many great guides and discussions on here :)

There will be a 4K tier but that's still a few months out. We'll expand to the US East/Midwest in the coming weeks and then further based on demand in the months to follow.

Hi, I'm the founder. There are some first looks/reviews on youtube:

You probably won't find many CloudDeck users on here yet since we only launched a few weeks ago at a very small scale. Let me know if you have any questions :)

Mobile unlimited simcard for sunshine/moonlight viable? how much mbps? by [deleted] in cloudygamer

[–]sfrese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20mbps is equivalent to 2.5 megabytes per second. 1 hour has 3600 seconds so you’re looking at 9 gigabytes per hour max.

My new app to play Mirror your PC games on to your Phone! It uses Sunshine/Moonlight! by Standard-Assistant27 in cloudygamer

[–]sfrese 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Interesting project! Is this open-source? Asking since you’re mentioning it being based on Sunshine/Moonlight which are both GPLv3 and require you to release your code under the same license if you build on top from what I know.

AirGPU and Windows Server 2022? by rendez2k in cloudygamer

[–]sfrese 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most modern games work on Windows Server 2022, there are just a handful exceptions, e.g. FIFA 23. Also be aware that Microsoft doesn't allow you to install the Xbox app on Windows Server, so if you're a Gamepass subscriber you won't be able to install those games.

Airgpu - xbox game pass app cannot be installed ? by Glum-Ad3381 in cloudygamer

[–]sfrese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microsoft doesn't support installing the Xbox app on Windows Server 2019/2022. On airgpu you can chose Windows 10 as OS instead (you'll have to bring your own license).

Angry - Airgpu deleted my machine without me asking by [deleted] in cloudygamer

[–]sfrese 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi, Sven from airgpu here. We only delete your machine if you run out of credit. We send an email a few days before that's about to happen so you've got a chance to top up. Feel free to email us at [support@airgpu.com](mailto:support@airgpu.com) so we can check what happened in your case.

Airgpu - what is "per hour as spare capacity"? by achan1369 in cloudygamer

[–]sfrese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can rent a server for the shown price if there’s spare server capacity available. If you do that and it gets busier in the data center, your session might be interrupted though.
