Hi all,
I am currently playing Cyberpunk via GeForce Now (as to not fry my age old hardware to a brick) and it works just fine.
I am having two major issues with it though:
1. The language keeps defaulting back to <not the language I assign ingame>, as I cannot change the language settings in the galaxy client, because I can't access the galaxy client standalone in GeForce Now (as e.g. possible with Steam). This is probably some contractual stuff between gog and nvidia and even though it bothers me some, it's not that big a deal.
2. The save games only get synced in GeForce Now whenever the game normally shuts down. If the game crashes (and probably the GFN VM with it, since I get a connection abort?) and possibly even when disconnecting due to network issues, the VM dies or shuts down without waiting for save games to sync. As the VMs data is pretty much gone after shut down, there is no way to get access to those save games back. This may lose you hours of progress and is extremely frustrating to the point where I shut down and restart GFN every 20~30 minutes just to manually force a save sync. Having to restart the game then forces me to reset language options (see 1.) and this is where it becomes really uncomfortable. All this would be avoided if the save games could be set to sync while playing. As this may affect ressources, I'd recommend to add it as an option (but please one that can be set on an account basis or add the plain galaxy client as a runnable binary in GFN!).
Kind regards
