Hello. As the title says, is there a way to play games over RDP? The games in question will be fairly old, say between the years 2000-2009, so it shouldn't require that much processing power.
Thank you.

Yes new games also
Free software. If it's that paid crap I don't want it.Quote:

Are you trolling? If so, you're gonna get a report.
I don't see any relevance on what you posted vs what i asked.
not trolling.. think i don t get the question
not connection video lag with remote desktop service?
please elaborate
Remote desktop programs usually work by only transmitting the parts of the screen that change. For everyday usage, this is fine and fast. But for images that are complex and/or highly dynamic, like games, video and animations, performance will be horrible. That is why Windows kills the desktop wallpaper and visual effects during RDP sessions (though I believe it now relies on a mixture of special compression and local rendering).
In principle, if you want to create your private version of Google Stadia, you'll need to have what they have: the ability to encode high-bitrate video in real time, plus a connection capable of streaming it at high speeds with minimal latency. Lag is a bitch, and partly why these services have only seen moderate success so far. However, the requirements for retro games may be tamer than the latest AAA craze, depending on genre and graphics.
There was a remote desktop software from Japan which worked by sending the entire display as a video stream instead of using differential compression, and worked very well last time I tried it,but I can't recall the name (will edit this if I remember)http://blog.x-row.net/?p=2455. For Linux, framebuffer over SSH may be a possibility, once again depending on what you want to play.
How about an alternate, then?
The problem is this: I have limited space on my desk, and cannot fit two computers (laptops, or otherwise). I mostly use my work's laptop for everything, but it cannot be used to play anything. So I though, when I'm bored, just top open an rdp and play something. Maybe you know of a better way for this?
Then my suggestions are the following.
- Read the third paragraph of my above post and try Brynhildr
- Use a KVM switch, physical or virtual (best solution, but you'll need an external monitor)
- Create a VM with 3D graphics acceleration and play games inside it
My problem is not related to FPS, instead my games just don't start or crashes when on RDP. Would that software fix that?Quote:

I thought about it at some point. Will probably go for it if nothing else works.Quote:

Same thing as above. Games don't start, or they do and they crash. It relates to the graphics card.Quote:

Only one way to know.Quote:

I tried with virtual box last year and it failed. The game in question is https://www.gog.com/en/game/star_war...e_old_republic .
I think the problem was the game does not detect virtualbox's graphics card. It is hardcoded to work only with manufacturers such as nvidia or amd.
I tried the software but it is very slow. can't even move the mouse in real-time.

You may have to tweak the video bitrate and other properties.Quote:

Remember, this is a laptop from my office. I can't have any piracy over here. And VMWare is software that you need to purchase to use, AFAIK.Quote:

VMware Player is freeware, and provides more than enough functionality for this purpose.
