    Hey guys its been a while since ive posted
    ok so i just got my asus infinity this month and ive tried splashtop
    if you dont know what it is, its a remote desktop program that was able to handle playing games such as skyrim with very minimal frame drop, ive seen multiple videos where it works flawlessly
    but here is my question, where am i going wrong?
    when trying to use it i fail miserably, we all know i hold the power to play skyrim at very high settings and this program was made for nvidia products, and i have time warner turbo boost so my internet is fast so in theory it should work
    is there anyone here that can try this for themselves and tell me what you did to make it work, so far i think my internet isint fast enough but i dont wanna decide that just yet, so people of the fourm, any ideas?

    1) Splashtop same as some other Remote Desktops need a very stable and good WLAN connection or it wont even connect.
    2) Make sure your game is not running in window mode or it will crash the game to desktop as soon as you try to start the game.

    For more help i need more detailed infos what exactly happens when you try to use Splashtop, when it happens and what your configuration of Splashtop is like.

    i assume my network is fast enough because i can stream my hd movies just fine with no lag, in 720p, and ive lowered some graphics in the game to go smoother if it works that way, wasent sure, and some people have tried running games in a window and it worked, i think i read on splashtops website you can run games in a window because only nvidia chips are supported for full screen gaming and for some reason when i try full screen it says my graphics card is not supported for full screen gaming and try playing in a window
    also to specify im using splashtop THD

    Sorry im not familiar with Tegra 3 tablets. Im using my Ipad with this app to connect to my M14x R2 and play mostly round based strategy games or WOW which i can use touch controls for.

    Normally when you have the streamer on your M14x running and an established internet connection for it and a working gmail account it should work in experimental mode. At least with my Ipad it was plug and play like. Maybe try different resolutions on the remote client or try it in WLAN first before you go over Internet to make sure all configuration settings are right.

    Sorry that i cant help ya here.
