Rainway is a great choice for game streaming. It's better than parsec at least :)

Pros:

Super low lag remote game streaming

Cons:

Still a tad buggy

So how do you actually stream? I'm a little confused.

@joshwhiteheadme Download the Rainway server agent onto a Windows 10 PC, once installed you just need to go to https://play.rainway.io to access your games and machine remotely.

Love the idea but its not working for me. I downloaded the server on 2 desktop windows 10 PCs and was able to get a connection to my Mac with both. It even showed the steam games I had and opened them when I clicked on them from the web portal. But after that things stop working. The display is just black on my Mac, and the games minimize themselves.

@andrewmd5 I'm curious, how do you play your pc games on a switch, as seen in the promotional video?

This is a genius product - well done guys. also the people who are leaving "Con" comments like only for PC, or no MAC - should really read the description before leaving those comments - it clearly says "Rainway lets you leverage the power of your PC to play your favorite games on any device..."

I tried years ago another platform with similar purposes: http://onlive.com/. I never understood why this platform closed the service, It was really disruptive for me, I loved it! Looking forward to seeing what happens with this project!

Hard to find the right link to sign in and download

Was excited to try it, however, the server isn't starting on my computer. Alright, those things happen. So I took the time to troubleshoot it with a developer on their Discord and after some time they told me something like yeah I have no idea how to fix it. Hope it works for others, but can't recommend in its current state unfortunately... Pros: uses my gaming computer, clients for lots of OSes/environments Cons: it doesn't work at all, support wasn't helpful
