NVIDIA SHIELD PORTABLE

[roblesaturcamilo]

Last night i've got a shield portable, i've updated it to the latest software (android and gamestream app on the shield, as well the nvidia stuff on my pc)

 

So in my house, both my pc and my shield connected to the same network, my pc was streaming games to the shield flawlessly, 720p60 smooth play, no lag at all.

 

By the way. i have a 150mbps xfinity connection.

 

But this morning, when i got to work (5 miles away), i've tried gamestream and it shows my pc as "offline"

 

I left my pc on, and i tried gamestream before i left home. It was working fine.

 

So i thought that maybe it was something wrong with my pc, i called home and my computer is on, nvidia software is on, and everything is completely fine with my pc...

 

Don't know why i can't stream from a different network...

 

Has anyone got through this issue?

i thought gamestream was only within the local network?

well... at the beggining i thought the same, but i've seen many videos showing people playing 300 miles away and away from home...

Unless Gamestream is local-only... business networks are notorious for connectivity problems.   If it doesn't work, it won't work, unless you can get IT to figure out the cause and make adjustments.  That'd be one heck of an IT department to make adjustments so that you can play video games on their network, though.

Very informative! i'll check it out this afternoon, and post the results... Thanks

[roblesaturcamilo]

Okay so here are the results:

 

Nothing seems to work!!!

 

Port forwarding, firewall, software updates, customer service, and even kicking the router (just kidding)....

 

Nothing works...

 

All i got was a "pc online" on the shield and when i tryed to lauch a game it got stuck in the loading screen...

 

But hey i got something else... When i was talking to customer service i got a leak about the upcoming GPU's

Again nothing at all

 

Those were the worst spent 5+hrs of my life...

 

I give up, i ran out of ideas...

You have to use a VPN to stream from far away
