Hi all, I have the 'Power' model and am having weird issues. Any help would be lovely!!

I had that issue before too its cuz you’re on wifi try on ethernet if possible at all

grizzled mirage
#

I do not have access to ethernet in a very practical way

#

here in-game you can see i have 1 ping

#

and the quick start menu

#

I feel like if this cannot run on these network settings for wifi that should be listed

#

I have the game running lowest settings

#

for me the whole point of this was not having to have client side requirements

#

also if it matters, the shadow pc is in washington dc

hidden hull
#

Your wifi seems good im getting around same numbers and im on ethernet it might be launchers problem go to settings and change the decoder to something else

#

If that doesn’t work try the shadow beta client

grizzled mirage
#

kk thanks

#

yeah a lot of lag even just walking around in the game

hidden hull
#

Its like a weird frame stutter right?

#

I think ik what ur talking about

grizzled mirage
#

this is only for 20 minutes but here you go

hidden hull
#

It shouldn’t be spiking like that

wheat iris
#

you have a 98% packet loss and a huge ping spike. Anyone else using the same network or just you?

grizzled mirage
#

only me

#

everyone else is asleep

#

also no other connected devices

#

even tried with phone on cellular lol

grizzled mirage
#

when i open the menu it seems to affect the connection alos

#

like this is running 0 programs

#

only the menu, fps stays down

#

fps only seems to rise when i launch programs

hidden hull
#

One min im checking what mine looks like

grizzled mirage
#

activity center

hidden hull
#

I think its a wifi issue somehow cuz i just launched shadow on my laptop with no ethernet and its pretty smooth its not spiking like in your screenshot

#

it would be a bit useless to me if i could only run this with a 20ft cord along the living room haha

#

kind of ruins the fun of cloud pc to me, like being able to run this from anywhere

#

a lot of spaces i visit do not have accessible ethernet ports in general

#

assuming (hoping?) it's something else?!

hidden hull
#

Or did u just get shadow

grizzled mirage
#

yeah i just got it

#

ive been off and on trying games out again because of the lag

#

i have had it for almost 3 weeks and played maybe, the first week and then this last one a couple days

hidden hull
#

That sucks hope someone else can help in morning but have u tried playing games on geforce now? It has way less delay and lag than shadow

grizzled mirage
#

well no, isn't that another cloud provider?

hidden hull
#

Yeah it is

#

Not a full pc like shadow but streaming games yeah

grizzled mirage
#

i even got lag running fortify a miniscule 112 mb app for designs

#

whereas cs is 56gb lol

hidden hull
#

Well if u wanna try cs on geforce now it has a free plan maybe it wont be as bad

grizzled mirage
#

i will give it a shot and lyk if there are the same issues or not

#

ok so seems to be a bit different

#

recording causes too much lag in-game so i can't really do that easily. there is some delay but the lag is consistent whereas the other one spiked a lot and was higher lag

#

the screen also looks worse, hard to explain why that is

#

got a 1-day pass, will see how that goes

#

yeah the display almost looks blurry

#

no lag on 1-d pass

grizzled mirage
#

is getting some sort of refund for the subscription possible?

Have you tried lowering the bandwidth? And tried deactivating the location services on your Mac? This helped me

hidden hull
grizzled mirage
#

I need location services on

#

That's unfortunate. Because it's a big popup on Mac that says location services being on will cause latency. You may be able to kill AWDL and get improvements.

it will be an issue for every live streaming service, location service need to be off or you need to use ethernet.
