Cool feature but defenetelly not for FPS games because of lag.
I have i3 HTPC and I streamed Sanctum to it. Looks great but lag feels about 0.5 second that makes it not possible to play.
I think lag is due to I use wireless mouse, wireless keyboard, maximum image settings on my TV (that also introduce lag). I guess for games where fast reaction is not very important thios is a perfect feature
Was that a wireless, or wired LAN connection? In any case you can enable the performance overlay feature to see where exactly the latency is and then make adjustments accordingly. For me the input latency is practically nonexistent - its like .18ms or something. Most of my latency is the TV, but still perfectly playable and feels very responsive. Nowhere near "0.5 seconds"
Connection was wired. Actually, I am very sensitive to input lag. May be that counts I cannot play FPS on my big TV even if I attach my main gaming PC directly to the TV due to the lag.
Does your tv have a 'game mode'? Try that
I'm normally really sensitive to it too (to the point where I don't use vsync because of it) and can play most fps's just fine via IHS. A controller helps minimize it too
As DPI said, try using the overlay to see where the lag is.
I can play borderlands just fine, streamed to my laptop, with a keyboard and mouse
Interesting idea, but I cant seem to get the latency low enough to make anything playable.
For testing purpose, this is the setup I'm trying:
- Streaming from my desktop to my laptop over gigabit ethernet.
- Both both machines are connected to the same gigabit switch.
- Hardware accelerated encoding/decoding on both ends.
- Stream is running at a solid 60 FPS with no warnings.
Latency is still terrible. I can't imagine playing a first person shooter of any kind... and this is in an ideal scenario. When I tried over wifi the stream kept freezing and the delay was so bad I couldn't even exit the game I was trying to stream. I had to walk over to my desktop and kill it to get out.
Already mentioned that I did that. Last bullet-point in the list...Turn on the performance overlay in the In-Home Streaming options, and use it to help isolate where the latency is occurring.
I received an update for both linux and windows clients sunday morning which fixed my issues. Works better than expected. More than enough for Civilization games.
Yes, the input lag will hurt you pretty badly.Anyone tried l4d2 on this?
