GFN is one of the few game streaming services (together with Shadow) that allows users to run games they already own with any supported game storefront (Epic Games, Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Origin), eliminating the need to purchase the game again.

The game is installed on the GFN server's virtual machine via the game store's launcher, not on your device. Your device just requires a GFN client to stream data (video, audio, and I/O interactions) from the virtual machine, similar to a virtual remote PC.

As a result, GFN can support a wide range of platforms, including Windows, Mac OS, Android, Android TV, NVIDIA Shield TV, web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari), smart TVs such as 2021+ LG smart TVs, and Samsung Gaming Hub on 2022 Samsung smart TVs. The heavy lifting is done on the GFN servers, which are powered by powerful NVIDIA "GPUs."

It will be installed one time by the game store's launcher on the virtual machine (on the GFN server so not on your device) for the user's game session; in comparison to our desktop PC, the installation is extremely fast—imagine installing a 100 GB game in a matter of seconds.

Perhaps the GFN trick is to simply create a virtual HD (VHD) copy with the pre-installed game image configured for the GFN server. The user simply needs to configure the game account and the game store link when the game launches for the first time by the game store launcher.

It will sync back with the game if it is running from the game server (it is outside of GFN's control; it is under the game store's control) using the same game account as long as you link the account with the game store account and the latter links with the GFN account.

The subsequent session will be very fast (due to very fast cloud storage on the GFN server), it just launches the game.

If the game is later delisted from the GFN by the game store, the user can still play it because the VHD copy of the game retains it for the user's game session on the GFN server (if GFN decides to make its users happy). This is the case with the God of War game on GFN early this month. https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/det...0god%20of%20war

Starhub Singapore appears to be excellent on my network just now... Perhaps there is a network problem on your end.

Your pings are what subscribers from India experience when connecting to Starhub Singapore...

Depending on where you are in India, some subscribers may receive those pings, while others may receive twice as many.

New update for desktop-based GFN clients.

I don't get that version. it is still 2.0.42.124/ro. Strange, because it has the "Resolution Upscaling" card in it.

That's interesting; you must have met the requirements for that extra feature. My laptop only has AMD FirePro M4150 mobile workstation GPU.

Starhub Gamehub+ is now offering one day pass at S$1.99

Sigh, the Starhub Gamehub+ GFN server is becoming increasingly popular... As a GFN Alliance partner, RTX3800 membership will not be available.

Update: later...argghhh!

It's only on the Infinite Lagrange game... other games work fine.

Perhaps it's just your router...don't have a spare router to test? It had happened to me previously: at first 800 Mbps then dropped to 300 Mbps; TM technicians came and checked with their test router and their router was okay at 800 Mbps...so, the conclusion: well you could guess already. Now, that I've upgraded to the ASUS ZenWIFI AX XT8 mesh system.

Consider using a remote virtual desktop and playing a game on it... There is no burden on your side, only heavy lifting on theirs. You save your storage space and electricity playing high-end graphics with RTX ON with your potato PC/laptop.

Awesome! Mobile platforms now support both Genshin Impact and Naraka: Bladepoint. Now you can play either game on your potato phone! Prepare your gamepad...
