Help setting up remote desktop for gaming.

[Shinon214]

Can Anyone Help me how to setup remote desktop for gaming.

I have a gaming machine sitting at "home1" also serves as file access to the network.

I want to game using remote desktop using the lan, while I'm at the "home2" building using my old laptop Acer Aspire ES1 331 P7AG which is being used to control the computers in the cafe, also for printing and simple photoshop, sometimes I want to play but its always full of customers.

I have gigabit lan/connection overall from home1 to home2 using fiber media converter, switches.

is this good? does it automatically use lan if its within same network?

i tried built-in windows, its good enough for me except for the weird mouse control movements, like in FPS or games either goes balistic or there's a limit where you can turn.

I don't actually know off the top of my head if it uses the LAN if you're withing your local network, never worried about it personally. As for if its good, yes, its the best and works incredibly well over LAN.
 

You really don't want to use the built in RDP for gaming.. I'm not even sure how you're using that at all.

Maybe you could use Spacedesk. This uses the LAN, but I haven't tried it for gaming.

the RDP is fine to me even the latency doesn't have an issue its actually outputting 60 fps, I would know cause I could just play back some kpop dance video that's 60 fps or stored videos from phones that's 1080p 60 fps. this is over lan.

I tried parsec just now, the quality is abit ok but not good like RDP, the latency is good and audio switching is less hassle. I just wanna know if i really need internet for this to work or does it use lan, if so can i force it to use lan only?

anyways parsec is good btw, i just need to fiddle the settings for host and client.

i'm still finding the minimize button like in RDP...

will do, I hope its better than the build-in RDP.

If the gaming PC has an Nvidia GPU you can use Nvidia Game Stream in the GeForce Experience and then Moonlight on any client to play the games, that would LAN only. THB though Parsec is just as seamless and brainless to setup so I just use that for everything. 

 

I still don't understand how you're playing 3D games over Microsoft RDP, that's such a terrible experience.

idk it just works, except the mouse... LOOL
I tried
nioh 2 = spins like crazy and every left click button rotate camera LOOL
ff7 remake = I can only rotate the camera limited. unless I press the camera rotate button at the keyboard.
spider man remake = same issue as ff7 remake.
dragon age inquisition = playable but mouse sensitivity is doubled.
Dead or Alive 6 = okay to play

yeah the main PC have Nvidia dedicated GPU and AMD.

do you know the setting in parsec that locks the screen of gaming laptop and doesn't show in the screen what you are doing like in RDP?

Parsec is ultimately the most well known and developed solution for 3D accelerated remote desktop for gaming. 

You might also check out Moonlight which is an open source project: https://moonlight-stream.org

tried this one, RDP is much simpler but thanks for the suggestion,
i'm using fiber gigabit connection so bandwidth for me isn't an issue.
my goal is for only lan never over wan.

still trying to figure out how to properly set this one up
same goes with parsec full capabilities.

noticed the image is quite blurry cause i need to fullscreen + pair it with the native resolution of the client, so far i'm getting good image quality now.

Parsec is definitely what you want to use.
