Peer-to-peer across networks is impossible unless you can punch a hole, i.e. UPnP. It's possible this isn't enabled and that could cause Parsec to have to fallback to a central server.
Why don't you use zerotier / tailscale

I mean, sure, but that doesn't mean that Parsec uses central servers by default, which was the entire point of the GP comment; that their servers are worse than Nvidia's.
Parsec will discover servers on LAN and/or with a port open and display them as distinct entries in the connection list, usually positioned in front of the central server options.
So there's no default as you're always the one choosing.

Appreciate the details you’ve provided! I’m going to do some more Parsec experiments this weekend thanks to your info. Something is clearly wrong with my setup, I’m going to figure it out.
In my experience if both sides are wireless the connection quality is terrible, no matter how good the signal is.

if you sell globally, then you can get max utilization from different sides of the globe as people sleep, so that you can over-subscribe per unit of the GPU. I would expect that people dont play 24/7, but if you charge like they do, then you get to make a profit.
That doesn't work due to the latency. If you want 30ms roundtrip, you need to be within ~3000km/1800 miles of the subscriber.
I am a GFN subscriber (and Stadia prior to that) so I am quite interested in this - GFN is great (I no longer have a gaming laptop and just use game streaming -90% from GFN and the rest via moonlight from a server in my loft/attic) but the major drawback is that you cannot access your entire game library. I presume it is a combination of a) compatibility but probably more likely b) contracts/business/legal. GFN does…
Tell me about the server in your attic. I’m in Florida and so putting tech in my attic seems like a bad idea. Is your attic/loft air conditioned? Do you live in a cold climate? My RTX 3090 is literally unusable upstairs. I have it in a closet downstairs and that closet gets quite toasty, but I would imagine the Florida attic will take it to junction temp at idle. I’ve also thought about putting some kind of ventilati…

Powering and cooling tens, hundreds of gaming PCs in orbit is beyond infeasible right now. RTGs can't produce that much power even if we had the plutonium. Solar panels are too big and heavy and don't work on the dark side of the planet. Batteries to complement the solar would also be prohibitively heavy.
Oh, I'm sure there are plenty of hurdles, I was just wondering if the latency problem could by solved by having the computers in orbit.
These GPUs are not valuable enough to timeshare via orbiting satellites!
I was trying to find their actual streaming implementation in their codebase before giving up and checking their Discord. Apparently parts of their game streaming stack are being developed in private repos, and their subscription service is the only working version of this project. In its current state I wouldn’t call this project open-source.

I have and love a steam deck, and used to have geforce now for about 18 months before I got a 3080 new rig. We might be playing incredibly different games in very different ways, and that's ok - but geforce now being beaten by steam deck is, again, taking a reasonable position way too far. Geforce now lets me play cp2077 on ultra with all the ray tracing on high resolution 32" monitor. Steam deck can "play" cp2077 at…
No, Nvidia always gives out a 3 month free trial with every purchase. I tried it out when I bought a 3080 when it was released and a 4090 last year. > cp2077 That's indeed a game that works well with GFN, witcher 3 and similar games too. Pretty sure you're still playing at 720p on GFN though, they're just using dlss for upsampling. You should be able to see the upsampled resolution in the settings of cyberpunk if I r…
Fwiw - Cp2077 ran at full res internally. I've played it both with and without dlss on GFNow. I believe when I started it was 2080 for first paid tier and 3080 for the top paid tier. Now the top paid tier is 4080.

I guess all of these hurdles are solvable, but not the economic one. These GPUs are not valuable enough to timeshare via orbiting satellites!
