About This File
GamestreamLauncher is a simpler launcher application to help assist with operations to be completed before and after a gamestream session. This can be used to launch any application, but I find it works great with BigBox as a launch point for my PC and emulator games.
Workflow on Gamestream Session start:
- Disable GPU Miner through Awesome Miner if running
- Disable non-primary monitors if present
- Run a custom script
- Launch Game (BigBox)
Workflow on Session end:
- Run a custom script
- Enable non-primary monitors that were previously disabled
- Enable the GPU Miner through Awesome Miner if it was previously disabled
- Close the Gamestream session gracefully
Installation:
- Copy the extracted folder to your desired location.
- Run GamestreamLauncher.exe to configure the launcher.
- Add a custom game in Geforce Experience that points to GamestreamLauncher.exe.
The launcher is configured with the config utility when launching it for the first time. You can run the config utility again by deleting the user.config file that can be found at %localappdata%\GamestreamLauncher under the proper version.
Known NVidia GameStream issues this launcher will resolve:
- Launching a game while a miner is active
- GameStream will "flicker" when multiple monitors are active during the stream - https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1022778/gamestream/flickering-with-gamestreaming-on-new-windows-builds-/
The launcher is open source and can be found on github here: https://github.com/loueradun/GamestreamLauncher
