NVIDIA SHIELD - Working!

[YUP5588]

Anyone have any tips on how to best set up the UI for streaming to the Shield?
Share you Shield screens if you can!!

The latest geforce experience and shield update turned it into a supported game. I can launch it directly now without going through steam.

I've been playing this on Shield & I just wanted to pop in & say that it is a twisted gamer's dream come true.

Exceeded expectations. +1

Additional information:

You don't actually have to use borderless windowed mode. When using full screen however, keep in mind that if you lose full screen it will kick you off on the shield (or in rare cases may put you back in the steam screen). Do NOT relaunch steam unless you are sure it isn't still running. Many times a few alt-tab cycles on your PC keyboard will square you away.

Other notes: I have an iPad and I am using it with an app called AirKeyboard or something like that so I can type on chat windows, as needed.I had varying success with a Bluetooth keyboard paired to the shield but I kept hitting the windows key, which would boot the shield off. I plan on picking up a different Bluetooth keyboard and trying again.

this is what i use on my xbox 360 controller a Rii Slim

I'm considering picking this up tommorow morning IF I am capable of running the game without streaming from my PC. I own a 560 TI and I dont want to sink cash into another card right now --- And more into a Shield. My question is: Can I install this game to the Shields memory and play the game without using my PC at all?

I need a new device that is usable at work for FF14!

There is no way to run FFXIV, or any other PC game from the Shield itself. Any PC game you could play on it would have to be streamed in some way to the Shield.

Perhaps in a future refresh of the Shield in a few years this could be possible ... maybe around the time the Volta series comes out?? :P

yea shield is playing this game flawless. The first MMO to be played on a portable device I believe. I hope the community discovers this thread and gets a Nvidia Shield. Its a really impressive device. Playing FF14 anywhere in the house is really really cool.

PSO2 has been on the Vita for over a year.

I actually activated my forum account just to share the big news that came out of nVidia today. The SHIELD will be compatible with more devices, laptop GPU's, better KB/M support over Bluetooth, streaming while you're away from home (if you have 5Mbit up/down at least), and last but not least - FREAKING PORTAL!

Thought I would follow up:

I have experimented with the remote play capability and its pretty impressive. The risk of disconnects is a bit higher but 60ms delay in responsiveness is hardly noticable. I tethered my 4G connection and it was super smooth. Also tried wifi in a few other locations and it was very playable.

I will caution, I have worn out the A button on two shiekds already (both replaced advanced rma, prepaid return shipping).
