r/ShadowPC

I want to know if I pay for the all ways on. And install tailscale. I want to run comfyui and llmstudio. with out youing your software Dose go against you TOS ? Since I the only one using it ?

« C’est pas à toi, tu loues ! »
Et alors ? T’es propriétaire de ta caisse pourrie qui perd 40% de valeur en sortant du concessionnaire ? T’es propriétaire de ton abonnement Netflix ? Pauvre con. Shadow te donne l’accès à une machine de guerre que tu mets à jour automatiquement, sans maintenance, sans bruit, sans conso électrique de ouf. Quand ils passeront à la 5090 ou équivalent, tu l’auras sans rien payer en plus. Toi tu seras encore en train de racheter des pièces en 2028 comme un débile.

Vous êtes juste une bande de pauvres types aigris qui n’ont pas les couilles d’admettre que le futur du gaming (et du computing) est dans le cloud. Vous préférez sucer la queue de Nvidia et Intel qui vous vendent du hardware obsolète tous les 18 mois plutôt que d’accepter qu’une offre à 37€ vous met une grosse claque dans la gueule.
Shadow Power à 37 balles, c’est pas une offre.
C’est une exécution publique des PC traditionnels.
Alors continuez à pleurer dans vos threads Reddit et vos Discords de loosers.
Nous, on est en train de jouer en ultra 4K, Ray Tracing maxé, sans ventilateur qui hurle, depuis notre canapé, sur les chiottes, en Y dans le LIT avec une manette ou clavier/souris, pendant que vous calculez encore si vous pouvez vous payer 32 Go de RAM supplémentaires.

« Mais moi je stream en local, c’est mieux ! »
Mieux pour qui, enculé ? Pour ton électricité qui triple tous les mois ? Pour ton PC qui perd 50% de valeur en 3 ans ? T’es là en train de faire le malin avec ta config « perso » pendant que nous on joue en 4K/120 sans que notre facture EDF ressemble à un prêt immobilier. T’es pas un gamer malin, t’es juste un mec qui refuse d’admettre qu’il s’est fait arnaquer par le hardware traditionnel.
« Moonlight c’est gratuit ! »
Gratuit comme ta meuf qui te trompe : ça te coûte cher ailleurs. L’électricité, le bruit, la chaleur, le temps passé à tout configurer, updater, réparer… Sans parler que dans 2 ans ta 4070/4080 sera déjà limite et tu vas encore devoir cracher 800 balles.

Moonlight c’est l’excuse des mecs qui ont déjà investi des milliers d’euros et qui cherchent désespérément une raison pour ne pas admettre qu’ils se sont fait baiser.
Shadow Power à 37€, c’est le futur qui te dit en pleine gueule :
« Vends ta tour de merde, arrête de faire du bruit et de la chaleur pour rien, et viens jouer comme un roi. »
Alors continuez à défendre votre Moonlight de boomer, bande de has been.
Nous on est déjà dans le cloud, sur une machine de guerre, sans rien posséder… et TOI ?.

I’d like to play this multiplayer with a friend in shadow pc is it possible?

Saw some comments regarding this but wanted some other feedback to maybe confirm

The performance version of Shadow is like $40 a month and increasing, meanwhile the number of games that actually work with Shadow decrease over time.

Last year I could play Rust, Elden Ring, Hunt Showdown, Battlefield, etc. (All work on other cloud gaming platforms because of whitelisting)

Now I can't play legitimately 70% of big titles that have any anti-cheat. Still $40 a month though. And zero communication. LOL.

Does anyone have any experience video editing with ShadowPC?

Downloading media from the Internet? Using various image/video generation platforms?

Using CapCut or other video editing software?

What are the pros and cons? Is it usable?

I’m going to be spending about a month overseas. I want to create YouTube content (4K).

My current laptop is not up to it. I don’t have the money for a new one. But it should be able to run ShadowPC.

Hello guys! I've been recently been planning on buying the neo tier of shadowpc. How is the quality, latency, clarity, etc, compared to big sharks like geforce now and etc?

I live in Hungary, and both my upload and download is above 900+ mbps.

I'm not quite fond of how geforce now doesn't have 90% of the games I wanna play, so, I've been looking for alternatives, and all I can hear, is that boosteroid and etc still do have problems with quality, latency, and clarity. Even shadow, which, tbf, 2 yrs old posts, yes, but I did see that some people had issues, but not any recent ones. Has it improved? How? By how much?

​

Have to do:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\HardwareConfig\Current]

"BIOSReleaseDate"="12/07/2023"

Each boot of shadow

As by default it's 17/07/2023 and that's not valid according to bl4, would be great if the shadow team can fix this permanently or if anyone knows how to fix it permanently

Hello, I'm using ShadowPC on the power tier, I'm on the german datacenter while living in the czech republic, meaning my connection is stable with no issues, I basically live on the borders to germany. I have a really good internet and have no issues with cloud gaming (I also use geforce now and boosteroid) But the thing keeping me from properly gaming on Shadow is the horrible visual clarity I get in games, mainly when there's a lot of things happening on the screen or while moving around, everything gets blurry, the game is never really clear and clean looking, like when I play on Geforce NOW for example. Is that just how Shadow is? Is there some additional settings I can change? I think I pretty much tried everything.

So I think theres no data center to Poland and only to Frankfurt, is 30-40 ms ping playable?

Man I just wanted to play No more room in hell 2s free weekend. Could play last time they had a free weekend but not anymore because they added Easy anti cheat

Is it just me, or is the "Power Upgrade" a complete ripoff for gamers right now?

Shadow advertises this service as a high-end gaming solution, but the reality is just frustrating. First off: The RTX 4500 situation. They lure you in with "Pro" hardware, but since it’s the non-Ada version for most of us, there is NO DLSS Frame Generation. How are you going to market a "premium" gaming rig in 2026 that can't use one of the most basic features to keep modern AAA titles (like Diablo IV) running smoothly?

Most devs don't optimize their games for workstation GPUs. We are paying a premium price to be "second-class citizens" in terms of driver support and gaming features.

And don't even get me started on the 512GB storage. That is straight-up pathetic for a gaming rig. Between Windows taking up space and modern games being 100GB-150GB+ each, you can barely keep 3-4 games installed. In what world is 512GB "pro gamer" level?

It feels like we’re paying for expensive enterprise hardware that nobody asked for, while basic gaming needs (storage and modern DLSS features) are completely ignored. For a service that brands itself as "the future of gaming," this is just poor.

Fix your hardware tiers or stop calling it a gaming service. It's just a glorified office PC at this point. For now, I'll stick with Shadow, since I'm currently getting more out of it than from the competition, who lost me with their 100 hours a month. And why the hell do I have to activate Windows?! /rant

Suggested fixes:

1. Standardize the Ada Architecture: Stop rolling out old Ampere stock. If I pay for the Power Tier in 2026, I expect at least an RTX 4500 Ada or equivalent, so I can actually use DLSS 3.5 and 4.0 features that are standard in every modern game now.
2. Base Storage is a joke given today’s hardware prices: We are in 2026. NVMe storage prices have bottomed out years ago, and yet Shadow is still acting like 1TB is a luxury. Offering 512GB for a "Power Tier" is a slap in the face. Between the OS and modern AAA titles like ARK or CoD (which are easily 200GB+ now) or other games but with mods (what they are advertising), the drive is full before I even finish my first download session. There is absolutely no financial excuse for Shadow not to bundle at least 2TB as the base standard in 2026. They are charging us 2026 subscription prices for 2018 storage capacities.
3. Gaming-Optimized Drivers: Give us the option to toggle between "Enterprise/Quadro" and "Game Ready" drivers. We aren't here to render CAD models; we want to play games without the weird stuttering caused by workstation driver overhead.
4. Transparency: Clearly state which GPU architecture we are getting in which data center before we subscribe. No more "GPU lottery."

(is this Discussion, Review or Suggestion Flair?)

This is getting dumb, how many months has this been where EAC has been blocking us? Something has to be done, does anyone know how to bypass the EAC so I can at least play half my steam library?

Spent a while figuring this out, so posting in case it helps someone else. There are actually two separate problems when running NordVPN inside Shadow, and you have to fix both.

Problem 1: Shadow disconnects the moment you connect to NordVPN

This happens because the VPN tunnel captures all traffic on the Shadow PC, including the stream back to your local device. Fix it with split tunnelling:

• NordVPN → Settings → Split Tunneling
• Enable it, choose "Don't use VPN for selected apps"
• Add everything from Shadow's install folder C:\Program Files\Shadow (ShadowStreamer.exe, ShadowGraphicsDriver.exe, ShadowLogger.exe, ShadowSerial.exe).

Problem 2: NordVPN gets stuck on "Connecting…" forever

Once split tunnelling is set up, NordLynx (the default protocol) often just hangs on Shadow because it's a virtualised environment. Here's what worked:

1. NordVPN → Settings → Connection → change protocol from NordLynx to OpenVPN (TCP)
2. Fully quit NordVPN from the tray and kill any lingering nordvpn processes in Task Manager
3. Disable IPv6 on the active network adapter:
   • Settings → Network & Internet → Advanced network settings → More network adapter options
   • Right-click adapter → Properties → uncheck "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)"
4. Open Command Prompt or Windows PowerShell as Admin and run:

​

   ipconfig /flushdns
   netsh winsock reset
   netsh int ip reset

6. Restart the Shadow PC

After the restart, it connected fine.

TL;DR: Split tunnelling to exclude Shadow's processes + switch NordVPN to OpenVPN TCP + disable IPv6 + reset network stack + reboot.

Hope this saves someone a couple of hours.

I’m sure I saw a discount over the last few weeks where the cost was 39 euro per month until cancelled, not just for the first 3 months. Does anyone know if this deal is still active and if so have the link or the discount code.. my googlefoo is failing me.

I use a galaxy fold 5 and I'm wondering how the service has been over the last couple of months. I live in new York as well I want to try it I have a backbone controller id like to use as well
