    While this is great for making GeForce now accessible it doesn’t really address the issue many of us have had with the service in the past. What we really need is a native Linux client so we can get 4k/HDR and higher frame rates.
    If you try docking your deck the best resolution you can get is 1080p through chrome (at least it was the last time I tried).

  • @snapah
    @snapah 14 днів тому +3

    For anyone having resolution issues while in the geforce now app, be sure to change the resolution in properties before opening the app. 1280x720 should be good, but give others ago and see what best suits your needs.

    The script adds the images itself...weird it didn't for you
    Also on Bazzite OS you need to edit the script "bin/GeForceNOW_Setup_Helper" line 162 and remove the end part "and 'valve' in platform.release().lower()".
    You'll likely also want to change the resolution and scale to fit your needs in the "bin/NVIDIA GeForce NOW" file on line 65. The "--window-size=1024,640 --force-device-scale-factor=1.25 --device-scale-factor=1.25" part

    I tested this last night. The install went easy enough (I had to add the artwork as well manually). After logging into GFN, I can move the mouse and use the D pad, but the right trigger doesnt work as a regular mouse click and I have to use the touch screen to select something. Is there anything I need to set as far as controls to make the GFN menus work? Once I started Fortnite through GFN, it detected all the Steam controls no problem and everything worked in game at least. If it's only the GFN menu that I have use touchscreen, thats really no big deal.

    • @XSpImmaLion
      @XSpImmaLion 14 днів тому +2

      If I'm not mistaken, those are two different things. GeForce Now is the cloud gaming service, streaming from your PC to another device was called GameStream, and nVidia killed it. Which is why you need Moonlight, created as a client to the service, and Sunshine, created as replacement for GameStream acting as host.

Does this version of GeForce now work better with the steam deck or is it the same? The version i have has problems with controls sometimes and you have to use the same control scheme for pretty much every game. If anyone knows if this version is the same or better, please let me know.

      Ok so if you know what Netflix then this is kinda like that. It allows you to stream games (that you don’t already own) to your Steam Deck in this case to play at a higher performance. But you will need a stable internet connection and preferably something with high speeds as well in case you have other users on your wifi.

      Chrome is based on the open-source Chromium project, it includes additional features, optimizations, and security enhancements tailored by Google. User://flags configurations are just one aspect of this customization. Chrome's integration with Google services, frequent updates, and support made it the preferred choice for Nvidia developers over building and maintaining their own Chromium version. 🤷‍♂️
      I guess the counter argument would be, building a custom Chromium build allows for greater control over features, security settings, and optimizations tailored to the software's requirements.
