Comments and Reviews
Open Source, and actually works well and is bug free compared to the closed source clients.
It requires nvidia shield to run and if you don't have an nvidia gpu forget it.
Need Multiplayer (like a parsec arcade)
When asked for help, dev locked thread & said "check discord". People on the discord are also complaining about the same issue; ignored by dev. These guys are dicks. Many issues are present to this day, such as: *Enabling mouse acceleration in windows for no reason *Embedded not working with Raspberry Pi correctly *Sound stutter/crackle on all clients *Broken input pipeline on Android & linux Use Parsec instead. It's extremely functional, lower latency, great UI, responsive and active devs - it's better than this mess in every concievable way. Even port forwarding (not required) is EASY by design.
These developers simply do not care and they never will. Cameron is an incompetent, arrogant moron.
Way better than nvidias game streaming service. They have like no games on there.
A pretty nice streaming option for hosts with Nvidia GPU.
