Nvidia GeForce NOW SA launch
Thanks @rain_mobile for the quick call. I wish your normal customer care reacted that fast to a support ticket, lol. We sorted it by using a friend's Rain account to subscribe me to the GFN Priority plan for now. Far from ideal, but that will do the job until there is a permanent fix from... -

@rain_mobile Is there any way to just add the subscription to the account I have used during the GFN beta? I was phoned by a Rain spokesperson and told that it is not possible since the Rain account system does not allow it, because I already have a Rain 4G package on the system and that... -

Just received this SMS from Rain: So the beta is ending this weekend! -

Which machine type? I do not use GCP, but I use AWS a lot at work. It will be interesting to see how such a setup will work in the cloud. -

What VPS are you using? Before GFN I was using Nvidia GameStream since 2019 to stream games from my PC to Moonlight clients as well as my Nvidia Shield TV box and it worked well - even when streaming to clients connected via the internet. I haven't installed Sunshine after they discontinued... -

I played Fortnite on my phone to test it out and Fortnite detected that I was playing on a mobile device, so I could play with the mobile UI with touch gestures. A Bluetooth controller will definitely be the best way to play on a tablet or phone. Worked very well with no noticeable lag, but you... -
Standard Bank Shyft vs Discovery Bank Forex
In case someone stumbles across this thread in future, I also sometimes use Shyft abroad, but I don't like swiping it often as they charge a fee per transaction. It is nice to be able to pre-buy currency when the rand is stronger though. My new go-to accounts when travelling are my everyday...- J-4ce

Sure, it is already something Rain pays for, but in my mind it would mean higher costs to keep Nvidia servers up and running in SA compared to other regions. Someone always has to pay. -

The Rand is quite volatile and relatively weak currently, but I am hoping the Priority tier is no more than R199/month. Realistically it will unfortunately be more than R200 when you factor in that they have to cater for backup power on a daily basis and that after the global GFN price... -

Lol, so my boyfriend also got an invite for the GFN beta and he tried to sign up earlier this week, but the signup did not allow him to select the priority plan. Rain phoned him yesterday and told him that they saw that he tried to sign up, but they then said that he will have to wait a bit as... -

They will need to send out communication first since they will be in deep trouble with agencies like the advertising board - we have no idea of pricing yet either. Also, I doubt the beta will only be for 4 weeks like they said. There are still too many hiccups that people on this thread are... -

Rain Customer Support just phoned me and asked me to answer a few questions regarding the GFN beta. Questions included providing the name of my ISP, on which device I play, if I am playing via WiFi or wired, which games I have played, if I had issues with loading any games, how long the queuing... -

My ping is also between 19 and 21ms - I'm also in Cape Town. Hopefully GFN is a massive success in SA and then Rain & Nvidia will add more servers at Teraco in Cape Town too. -

I'm still a Rain 4G customer (on their old Pay-as-you-go plan, so don't pay a monthly fee if I do not use any data for that month), but it still shows up as a contract on the Rain dashboard, so I am still a Rain subscriber technically. I think they literally just started selecting people with... -
