​

Rainway Public Beta was released to the public today, an application which allows you to stream games from your PC to your devices, anytime, anywhere, in up to 1080p/60fps. It will first support Android and iOS, then moving onto Xbox and other consoles, such as the PS4 and Nintendo Switch, although it's unknown whether Rainway will make it onto the latter.

​

Rainway Features:

• Stream any game on your PC to another device
• Automatic detection of your game library
• Support for full 1080p/60fps gaming
• Ultra low input latency
• Quick, easy, 60 second setup
• Support for keyboard/mouse or controller
• Support for all modern hardware (Intel, Nvidia, AMD)
• Support for any web browser
• Cloud-based screenshot support
• Completely free with no hidden costs
• Mobile and console support forthcoming

Whew, testing it now, it's pretty awful. Tons of lag, quality looks awful (the default is "12% lossy" ), setup didn't work the first 4 times and kept erroring out, I had to reboot to get it to actually go through first time setup without an error.

Nvidia's game streaming is just infinitely better than this. I get little to no lag with the same setup I'm testing Rainway with, and it looks 10x better easily.

I think gbatemptv could use it, they get like 20 to 30 seconds delay

That's a Twitch thing, the delay is there on purpose because of the way Twitch handles quality settings and distributing the stream to viewers.

We will eventually be able to use this on Consoles though unlike Nvidia game streaming. Can it even stream to mobile?

Moonlight. It's an open source Nvidia game streaming client that currently supports Android, iOS, Chrome browsers, Raspy Pi's, and the Vita. It could easily be ported to other consoles as homebrew, once exploited, as it's been done for the Vita.

[naddel81]

update: sorry, I did not read above. so this is dead then, I guess! much hype for nothing.

 

[NekoNoor]

Is a linux version of the server/client planned?

By the way, have you tested the PS4 browser?

it's a dream?

Damn, that's slow.
It could be because I always use LAN.

I have never had issues with nVidia game stream.
I just use moonlight on my Phone and I am off!

That and I usually stream over my local network at 1080p 60fps :/ .... No stuttering.

Well, so sorry for not having a fast of a connection as you -_-

Well, since it is a local network stream protocol; the internet isn't even involved. It's literally IP -> IP data transferring :/

Don't think he was trying to hurt your feelings.

Is it a commercial software? If so will it require monthly subscription when devs officially release it??

completely free, even when not at home.

It's free forever.

Well, I've had nothing but bad experiences with NVidia Streaming, so I've been a bit skeptical of it being a good system, despite having a 150 mbps connection over a 5 GHz band. -_-

That's very odd. I just use my 2.4ghz network most of the time.
That and I can run Nier: Automata (A poorly optimized game for PC) over my network without issues.

I doubt it's your system. But usually routers have a packet priority feature; for games and streaming that is. At least for modern routers.
