I have gotten some games to work, but the biggest roadblock I run into is that RDP seems to have some dislike for DirectX bound games. I do not intend to play FPS or other games that require very low latency, but for games like Crusader Kings or Cities: Skylines or Tropico, could this set up work? I suppose it should bear mentioning that I understand the restrictions that this kind of structure would entail. Second screen shot shows the game running, and playing.
Yes, you can make it full screen.įirst screen shots shows my desktop running Steam. So you see Remote Desktop running in a window. The screen shots were taken from the side of my laptop. Hence, why Windows 10 looks more Windows 8 than the 10 that we have now. My desktop was on Windows 10 Technical Preview (TP). The purpose of my post, was more educational, and not recommendation.
Some games will just not work, like StarCraft 2 (and probably other Blizzard games, as it checks if you run under remote desktop, and blocks you for some reason) You need a solid network connection both sidesĮxpect high latency, but playable (basically, no CS:GO and such games, unless you don't mind dying a lot)ĭon't expect 60fps gaming. The game needs to run under window mode, or windowed full screen mode, if the game supports it.īoth system you are connecting to, and running needs to be Windows 8 or above.
