Best game streaming solution out there. Lowest latency, highest frame rates, and up to 4K!
The performances are good.
Easy to use out of the box.
Insufficient sound options such as sound source selection.
Still some bugs with the sound.
Compatible with gamepad.
Can only host using a windows computer.
I do really like this one. Many years ago I've tried to accomplish what this program set out to do using Logmein. Not really being a tool aimed for gaming, the limitations and latency made it the wrong tool for the job. This not only has that same function of remote-desktop control, but it does so with low latency, solid visual fidelity, multiple-controller support and other useful settings, such as determining what programs the guest can see, or if the guest can control anything in the first place. The whole being-free thing is the icing on the cake.
because u can play local coop games online with low latency depending on ur location but there r some bugs tht need to be fixed
