Games that work and games that don't

[slouken]

The capture architecture changed significantly as of March 31, so I would love feedback on what works now and what doesn't.

Thanks!

The Witcher 2 - It runs but has low framerate (20-30 fps). Lowering settings doesn't increase framerate. I get 60fps on max settings normally, so I dont think the host is the issue.

Tomb Raider - Low framerates as well, but unlike TW2 the host ran perfectly fine, the lag was only visible on the client.

Bioshock Infinite - When I try to stream, I get the "preparing to run" dialog then after a few seconds I get the timed out dialog. The game then opens on the host but not the client.

CS:GO - Runs nice, but with some framerate drops
Dota 2 - Runs perfectly, constant 60fps

Host: Win7 64 | i7 920 | 12GB ram | GTX 560 ti x2
Client: Win7 64 | AMD Phenom II 2.1GHz | 4GB ram | Radeon HD 5470

I just got my invite!

This is great, I ran Far Cry 3 on my Laptop around 40 fps

Host: Win8 64 | i5 2500k | 8GB RAM | HD 7950 Boost
Client: Win8 64 | i3 3200m | 8GB RAM | HD 4000 (integrated graphics)

Elder Scrolls Oblivion now works - it didnt use to. 1080p, 60fps, unlimited band (goes up to 60, stays near 30mbps)

Non steam games (not sure if u guys care):

Guildwars 2 now works. 1080p, 60fps, unlimited band

Battle.net (Hearthstone/WoW) doesnt work anymore - they used to. I can open the loading battle.net screen (that streams ok) but it gets stuck in this. On the host the battle.net launches works ok, no crashes or anything.
Stuff simply stops streaming to the client.

Warframe works. My aging Core 2 Duo (on the game pc) gives me pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ fps though even though playing ON the machine is fine.

Host: i3-3.3gHz, win7-64, 4GB, Radeon 7850-2GB, wifi ~30mbps
Client: coreduo-2.0gHz, arch i686, 2GB, GM450 integrated, wifi ~30mbps

Games that didn't work so great:

• Syberia 1 & 2
  
  • Syberia 1's main menu suffers from seizure-like screen flickering (the actual game itself is fine though. Syberia 2's main menu is flicker free.)
    
  • Very poor video capture performance for both games...50ms for each "frame capture" all the other stats were normal. (Its a pretty old crusty game engine. )

Games that may or may not work great:

• Patrician 3
  
  • Performance is great, but it seems this game loves to throw the "Exited Client Unexpectedly (2)" with ~15% regularity when I attempt to access the in-game menu via ESC.
    
  • Note: This game is weird in that it changes the screen resolution when one moves inbetween the game and its in-game menu.

Games that streamed good/great:

• Legend of Grimrock
  
• LIMBO
  
• Machinarium
  
• Mark of the Ninja
  
• The Misadventures of P.B. WInterbottom
  
• Bastion
  
• The Book of Unwritten Tales
  
• Botanicula
  
• Braid
  
• Closure
  
• Dear Esther
  
• The Dream Machine
  
• Guacamelee!
  
• Hotline Miami
  
• Jolly Rover
  
• Left 4 Dead 2
  
  • Very impressive/stable performance.
    
  • I didn't test out the in-game mic though.
• Mirrors Edge
  
• Osmos
  
• Poker Night at the Inventory
  
• Portal
  
• Resonance
  
• Rogue Legacy
  
• Sid Meiers Pirates!
  
  • The in-game mouse cursor sometimes turns into an animated ship wheel - on the client side this cursor doesn't animate.
• Space Pirates and Zombies
  
• Super Hexagon
  
• Super Meat Boy
  
• Trine
  
• VVVVVV
  
• World of Goo
  
• Amnesia: The Dark Descent
  
  • Uses a pre-game launcher with drop down lists to change settings. These drop-down lists don't properly display on the client side.
    
  • In-game gamma correction settings have no effect on the client machine.
• Vessel
  
• Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 1
  
• Stacking

Final Note: I can't reproduce this and I have no useful data to follow this up with, but I will say on two rare occassions today my Client Stream process simply stopped working. It didn't crash/exit or anything it just "froze up" forcing a hard reboot of the system since the process couldn't be killed off in anyway. (host continued to run fine and there were no network problems. Nothing unusual in the log files unless some x264: VBV underflow warnings could have played a role in it.)

Thusfar, most games I've tried have all worked.

Portal 2
STO
AvP Dx9 & 11 launchers.

Non-Steam
Battle.Net - Diablo 3 - Plays smooth. Only issue I've come across is when leaving the game the stream reverts to the client and doesn't want to close the stream. But for a non Steam game this is still awesome. I've put in the bulk of my playtime like this in the last 2 days.

Update: Oblivion runs, but I cant get it stable @ 60 fps no matter what (my pc runs it ridiculously well, i7 3770k etc etc etc) Skyrim runs better than oblivion on IHS.
Crysis and Test Drive Unlimited 2 could fo with a bit of optimization. The screen gets choppish sometimes, like GTA IV used to before all updates. Feels like fps drops.

GTA IV now runs flawlessly, no more chopishness or whatever, its really smooth.

BTW: my mbair trackpad doesnt work as it does in windows 7 (i m running w bootcamp). I usually just tap to click in the desktop or games. Using IHS I gotta really click, simply tapping it doesnt work =(.

• Divinity: Original Sin (Early Access Beta) - Runs flawlessly, looks great.
  
• The Elder Scrolls Online - When starting the game with the launcher I can't click "Play", or anything else. If I add the exe to run just the game to Steam it runs great. Some frame drops but mostly a solid 60fps. Launcher is preferable with an MMO though.
  
• Godus Early Access - Not so great. Not really playable.

Also, I gotta say, the latest updates are fantastic! I played alot of ESO during that games beta and it looked like a 480p youtube video, now it looks and feels just lika playing the game locally. Fantastic!

So far my steam games are running flawless, great job guys.
however I've noticed some issues with non steam games:

Diablo 3:
I could start the game with its battle.net launcher but if I quit the game I'm stuck in the launcher since there is no way to quit.

Titanfall:
Titanfall doesn't start on the client. I could start the game, the host launches it but nothing happens at the client. Streaming Titanfall would be really great!

Also streaming is a nice workaround for games without steam cloud like Banished, Project Zomboid, State of Decay or Starbound

I did stream Kerbal Space Program, Just Cause 2 and Skydrift today. No major bugs but some overall performance issues which are caused by the server I think. Because I have no dedicated Graphics Card yet, I am only using Intel HD 4000 Graphics. Card should arrive this week though.

The Wolf Among Us: Streams fine but doesn't accept controller input from the remote client.

[UnReal-4-Life]

well it is in home streaming maybe the steam app on the tab or phone can help.

Rocksmith 2014 displays only a white screen and no audio, though everything works fine on the sending computer.

Walking Dead Season 2 works fine.

Payday 2 is the only game that doesn't work for me, black screen, 20 FPS
