Why dont play directly on the VM? #38

Hi,

Thanks a lot for this repository I was able to set up a VM in no time. I just have one simple question. Why is it better to stream the game instead of using the RDP? Does it reduce the lag?

Best regards,

David

Yep you can give RDP a a try, but it should be clear that it's not designed for game streaming (or even just video streaming).

An alternative that I'm currently pursuing is instead of streaming the game, I've installed Parsec (available at ) and I've installed the game on the VM itself. Instead of connecting to the VM via RDP (which is not really optimized for game or video streaming) we'll use Parsec, which is optimized for gaming scenarios.

So far I've been pretty happy with the setup.
