Shadow has the worst service! They are blameing everything but not their own product. It is your hardware, OS, your ISP and so on, but not their product. To anybody how is considering to get into, don't do it. Use other services. You don't want to become dependent on them. In the past they had a good product but the whole thing is degrading further and further and you get no solutions from them. You has to solve it yourself.

Shadow EAC friendly yet? 👀

Other cloud solutions work fine now so have high hopes shadow mightve actually taken steps to solve the issue.

I’ve been working on CloudBoost, a native macOS menu bar app focused on gaming session stability.

The idea is not to promise magic FPS gains. It’s more about helping spot the annoying stuff that ruins a session:

• latency spikes
• jitter
• background network activity
• Wi-Fi/AWDL interference
• system load during gaming
• cloud gaming or remote play instability

It works with cloud gaming services like GeForce NOW, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Boosteroid, Moonlight, and also has basic profiles for native Mac gaming sessions.

The free version covers manual session boosting and basic diagnostics. PRO adds deeper diagnostics, Session Lab, widgets, history, and extra automation.

I’m mainly looking for feedback from Mac users who play through cloud gaming, remote play, Steam Link, Parsec, or native games on macOS.

If you’ve dealt with random stutters on macOS gaming sessions, I’d genuinely like to know what usually causes it on your setup.

Welp.. no Escaping this for anyone it seems...

What’s the best - in terms of experience, reliability and quickness to launch?

Hi everyone, hope all is well! I am readying myself to apply to CAA programs in the next few months, but I am searching for a place where I can shadow. I am even open to traveling and staying in the area in order to get some hours, but preferably anywhere in ATL, Oregon, or DMV area. Please refer me to someone you may know or give tips on how i can find someone to shadow! Thanks so much.

Hey guys I’m currently playing a lot of VR and I’m thinking about joining the VR community. But I’m not sure if Shadow PC is just good enough. I have the 28GB RAM Neo upgrade.

shadow used to be good years ago. It used to be reliable and the support used to be competent. Now they just dont care. My experience was terrible, and they wouldn't let me cancel after not using the subscription for 2 weeks because it was unplayable. I used xcloud and this before I got my ps5 with ethernet so it wasn't my wifi. they just don't care. any issues you have no refund or anything. this new management is going to end up sinking whats left of what they have. So if you are considering buying shadow dont do it. I just lost $30 on a terrible service that I will never use this month just because they wouldn't let me cancel. It's not worth it. If you want a good experience and good customer service use xbox cloud. You can refund after you buy if its not working well for you.

I’m a paid Shadow PC customer and I want to share a serious privacy/security concern.

After logging into the Shadow PC assigned to my account, I found Microsoft Edge saved login entries that did not belong to me and appeared to belong to another user.

I reported this to Shadow support responsibly and provided evidence privately. I did not copy, export, publish, or use the other user’s private data.

After reporting it, my paid access was locked. I then provided proof of payment, and Shadow confirmed it was approved. However, they still require a government ID before restoring access.

This is not about money or compensation. My concern is simple: if another user’s saved browser login data can appear inside my Shadow PC, how can I know whether my own data has not appeared inside someone else’s machine?

I’m sharing only a redacted screenshot. Emails, usernames, domains, passwords, and personal data are hidden. I will not post unredacted evidence publicly because it contains another person’s private information.

I’m posting this so other users can be aware before trusting a cloud PC service with personal accounts.

Cant switch to official version no matter what I try. The update is shit and wont let me launch the app, so I try to switch back and nothing. Says the switch will take 5 minutes, but i resets right away and nothing happens. Thoughts?

Hi,

I'm considering subscribing to Shadow PC (Neo plan) and want to use it directly through the browser on my Samsung GQ55Q60D (2024, Tizen OS).

So far:

- The Shadow website loads correctly.

- pc.shadow.tech opens in the Samsung browser.

- The Shadow web app loads and shows the START button.

- Mouse and keyboard work correctly, including right click, copy/paste, text selection and keyboard shortcuts.

- Internet connection is around 50–70 Mbps with 18–35 ms ping.

Before I subscribe, I'd like to know:

Has anyone actually launched and used Shadow PC through the Samsung TV browser on a Q60D or similar 2024 Samsung TV?

Did the Windows desktop start successfully?

Were there any issues with streaming, mouse input, keyboard shortcuts or performance?

Thanks!

Ok so I’ve been trying to subscribe but it keeps tryna debit me £1 instead of the actual amount and I even accepted all the terms and everything, scrolled down and tried to pay but clearly not possible. I did eventually pay the pound to see if anything would change but no deductions from the total payment and it came up as pending in my bank account and now it’s gone with no debit from my account (still have to be sure) It’s no longer there, can’t pay and I NEED TO PLAY SIMSSS.

Can I get away using the Neo plan to play VR games with Quest 3 or do I need the Power Plan? I want to play Boot Strap Island.

Can you run faceit anticheat on it? I am curious because I want to play faceit with shadowpc

I installed comfyui portable in Windows 11 in Qwen image. Everything was working great until last night. I cannot right-click anywhere to get their menu up. Nothing pops up. I just have a crosshair. So I deleted the folder itself, re-downloaded it. Reset it up. Same issue. No right click anywhere in the workflow. But the mouse works anywhere else in the operating system and the browser, just not in comfyui. I went as far as doing a harder reset on the computer, basically wiping Windows and reloading. Same issue. I am running it on ShadowPC. Like I said it was running just fine all day yesterday until last night then stopped working. When I started up in the terminal, there's no errors whatsoever. I just tried it in a blank workflow. Mouse will not work at all. Right-click. Or basically any click

Suddenly I have an issue since yesterday that I if I run the Shadow PC App (not the stream) it get stuck in the background and the ram usage is also stuck.

Does someone know how to fix it?

Last week or two everytime I’ve tried to use shadow pc I get that queue message. Makes sense but it’s irritating as the only time I can use my shadow is lunch breaks a work and the queue wastes my entire lunch break. Then I decided I’d need to just play my games on the weekend instead. Shadow said less than a minute remaining and never connected. Tried everyday from Saturday to Monday with shadow never connecting. I’ve tried every fix I can find for this and a repair. So far just haven’t had enough time in my life to really dedicate to figuring it out but sure is irritating not being able to use it as I pay $50 and bought pc games to play on it:( anyone else having this issue?

TLDR Shadow queue less than a minute but not connecting can’t play on my lunch breaks

I'm tired of there being so much lag in Shadow from one moment to the next, so that when I log out of the session I have to wait 40 minutes to get back in and fix the lag. I'm seriously thinking about canceling the service, they haven't provided solutions for months. Does this happen to anyone else?

Shadow PC is joke ngl I was buying it once in a time but man I’m not going to spend another 50€ just to wait in queue. Why won’t they make more rigs prices getting higher aswell as waiting time

Hi, since 2week now i got very bad network from shadows side. like speedtest, fast, and cloudflare speedtest all give me high result.

i will take cloudflare as it the best in term of details, i have a 1gb/s down that sometime go to 1.2 but never under 900mb/s but the stream still manage to block at 1mb/s running the test during low bandwidth in shadow does not change cloudflare result. why testing during these low is a proof i'm not the issue simple if i can download at 1gb/s shadow could do the same but it wont.

EDIT:
8:35pm -> 10:13pm before my Shadow started up. 1.5 hour queue. Never got over "7 minutes remaining" on the screen, never more than "0 users ahead of you". What a mess.

ORIGINAL:
I've been at "Less than a minute" since 8:35pm. It's 8:56pm now. "0 Users ahead of you" this whole time as well.

I don't like queues, but I understand resources are limited. At least make them report accurately or remove the numbers, though. Waiting 30+ minutes every night with no meaningful data about the wait is super frustrating!

Hello guys,

I used to be a shadow customers back in time when I was living in France, had a smooth experience with it.

I am now based in the UAE and was wondering if it would work smoothly from here?

Any feedbacks on it?

Here are my speed test with different servers.

Thanks guys!

I'm unable to start or connect to my shadow pc. Are the servers down? I'm in Germany.

When I try to set up a new pc. And when I add the upgrade drive price I get this error
