Little Ghost
New Around Here
Hi all, new to the forum hoping for some advise on this.
I have been using Shadow’s cloud PC service with their Shadow Ghost box for a couple of years now to stream wireless PCVR sim racing titles to my Quest 1 via Virtual Desktop. This works very well and to be honest I still marvel at the technology that allows me to stream VR data from a VM in Paris whilst communicating all my usb data back and forth with very little latency.
Anyway, the issue I’m having is that when someone else is on the network watching Netflix etc I get horrible lag spikes. I’ve tried everything I can think of to separate myself from the family network but I wondered if anyone could provide any suggestions as the usual VD Networking tricks don’t seem to work with Shadow.
Network Specs:
Configuration 1:
Works very well but heavy or bursty streaming by family causes VR to lag or freeze badly
Configuration 2:
Quest will not connect to Virtual Desktop
Shadow functions normally
Configuration 3:
Virtual desktop connects properly and runs very well until family streams, causing short but frequent stutters
Thanks in advance
