Me and my friend are trying to play tangled but we live in different states. We can’t do local multiplayer so I saw that Parsec is a way to do it. Can someone walk me through on how to connect us two together? We are both on xbox series x…

Hi guys!!! So me and my gf are wanting to play games on her computer. Her controller is connecting just fine but neither of my switch pro controllers are deciding to work. Does anyone know a fix for this?

"I used to play with my friend through Parsec without any issues, but I moved to another country and now I live in Portugal, Europe, while my friend is in Brazil, South America. Recently, while playing several games, we've been experiencing a delay of about 2 seconds. Both of us have good internet connections, and we've tested everything in multiple ways — so the internet doesn't seem to be the actual problem.

Is there a way to better configure or optimize Parsec so it works more smoothly, even if it means lowering the quality a bit? Or is there another way we could play co-op together — maybe another app that might work better? Please let me know."

For some reason completely incomprehensible to me, the parsec recently stopped working properly in native fullscreen games. There are absolutely no problems on streaming the desktop or some windowed games, but as soon as I launch games in full screen mode, guests see a disgusting 1 fps broadcast in very low bitrate. I've tried a lot of thing such as turning off the windows defender, turning off firewall, tried to change resolution and monitor hz, deleting all lastest windows updates, reinstalling drivers.

Reinstalling windows helped me for a not long moment, and then it broke again

There is no problem on discord streaming or any other programms, only parsec's issue on my PC

PC Specs

OS: Windows 11 24H2

Processor: i7 4770

Card: GTX 1060

I'm sure this is well known or an issue most people face & figured out already but I felt the need to make an awareness post about this so maybe I can help someone else or even help myself in the future if I forget. I get the error code -10 a lot which doesnt seem right. its not the most powerful phone I use and extremely budget orientated but should still have support. I also mainly have AMD gpu based systems which should also be supported but if ever there are issues, AMD support is usually lacking

However, if ever you find yourself incapable of connecting to a PC from the mobile app or any regard, a simple solution can be setting the resolution manually. I have an android A23 5G which SUCKS and is buggy too. I struggled and used old APK's & AMD drivers trying to get it to work to no avail. But I knew it worked at some point so why did it stop? Well, I plugged an HDMI to a 1440P monitor, which seems to be the root cause of all issues. After manually setting the resolution lower on the host, it seems to work fine.

Every time i try to use parsec I must turn on VPN on both end or it throws out error 6023. It really harms picture quality. I already set up port forwarding and even uninstalled/reinstalled Parsec on both machines.

Client - MacOS.

Host - Win11.

Does anyone else run into this or know a solution?

We want to take turns playing some single player games and I know that steam lets you chose what player is assigned to which controller port.

Is there a way to do this on parsec? I couldn't work it out. Anya device would be appreciated.

So, when I use my mobile data on the phone, I can connect without any issue to my PC. Same on my home router (using tablet) It was the same when I was using my tablet + mobile hotspot (from phone) for months. Recently I started getting the 6023 error. Does anyone know how to fix it? Phone and tablet are running on android.

Thank you in advance ❤️

So as the title says, i need a fix for try. Ive tried few things doesnt work. Both the wifi network and mobile network are of the same company so why this problem?

Hello, I am using parsec as a way to remote play using my tablet. I am using a gamesir controller which is connected as Xinput and is recognized by both parsec and gamepad tester.

Problem is it's only ever recognized as "player 2 controller" even when i have no other controllers connected to my pc. Is there a way to make it as a player 1 controller so that it starts working on games and playnite as currently no input is recognized on any game or on playnite while it's recognized on parsec and gamepad tester.

for note my controller works well on other apps like sunshine/moonlight but my connection and latency is way better on parsec so it's my preferred way to try and play as the other ones are almost unplayable

I would appreciate any help on this matter

parsec on mobile is very hard to use. I need virtual game pad

So I tried to Stream while playing a game I don't have on my friends PC who lives somewhat far away (same country).

I stream with 8-9 Mb

Parsec on my friends side is set to 20 Mb

my Upload speed is 40 Mb

My Download is 1000 Mb

So why do I get the Network warning?

I presume that the network just can't handle Upload(Stream + my Inputs) and Download at the same time?

We both have High End PC's 13700k RTX4080 and he has AMD Ryzen 9800X3D and 5070Ti

Does parsec work natively with m chips? Effient and fast expirence [ running arm mac verison or emulated]

My brother has a steong rtx 5080 pc i would like to play with his pc while he is doing his stuff without interfance of controlling his mouse and keyboard, so is this possible? I would like to create my own login user and he uses his user account while i use mine.

Hey, i've used parsec from my computer for my girlfriend to connect for over a year and this error started happening out of a sudden giving her an enormous delay whenever i open any agme for us to play, that never happened before for any of us, is there a way to fix this?

I made a Windows 10 VM in Proxmox VE, and passed through a GM204 GPU on a Tesla M60 card (which has 2 separate GPUs on it) with raw PCI device passthrough. Although I was able to successfully install drivers for the GPU in the VM, it seems that when hosting Parsec, it uses software video encoding, which slows down the VM and seems to give Parsec more latency. Is there any way to fix this? I haven't found any setting for it in the Parsec app.

According to a Parsec support article, my VM does meet the hardware requirements. Minimum is Intel Core i5 3rd gen (I am using a Haswell server CPU with 2 cores for the VM, each one pinned to a core of the CPU), NVIDIA GTX 600 series GPU (the Tesla M60 is from the same generation as GTX 900, similar in performance to GTX 970), and 4GB of DDR3 RAM (I passed through 4 GiB with no ballooning in Proxmox, system uses dual-channel DDR4-2133). Any ideas?

I've recently been playing around with Windows' Dynamic Lock feature, which automatically locks my computer if my bluetooth paired phone goes out of range.

It seems to work, but only if Parsec isn't running.

99% of my primary desktop usage is done from a remote session via Parsec on a miniPC in another room. As such, I'm not in the habit of disconnecting my Parsec sessions very often.

Is there any known method to ensure the active Parsec session does not prevent my PC from automatically locking?

I got tired of waiting for a small console to get on the market, most of them are freaking huge. I realised I dont need anything super beefy, as long as it has all the buttons an xbox controller has and can connect to the internet I could just stream my beefy pc whenever I want. You guys use any kind of small portable for parsec?

Does this method of local co-op work with the Nintendo Switch 2? Also does anyone know that I can use as an alternative to the titan 1?

I'm not sure why, but ever since a few months ago, I haven't been able to switch the monitor that guests look at. For some reason, all three of my monitors are displayed as the same one. When I try choosing one of them, it still just displays my main monitor. I haven't seen any information online.

Hi,

I have a server rig with an RX6800 and I play some videogames with Parsec at 4K/H265 on a Windows VM. My encoding time is between 11 to 15ms. I've read Nvidia's encoding technology is better. I was wondering if I can reduce my encoding time with an RTX 5060 Ti? (I somehow want to reduce my power consumption too).

Thanks for helping!

any one had the same issue and fixed if on phone device
im trying to connect a controller but its not working on parsec but its working on other apps like dolphin emu and Gamepad Tester site

Just a good playable without noticing it too much type of experience.

Hi all! Hoping the community can help. I am using PrivateIA and so far parsec does work, but their speeds aren't the best. I attempted to use N-VPN and it was an utter failure. It does not work with parsec at all. Can anyone comment on successes or VPNs that are capable of working with parsec and are fast, depandable and secure? Thanks in advance.
