Introduction
This guide will allow you to play Co-Op mode online for Tales Of Zestira via Nvidia's GameStream. After playing multiplayer online for a while, it came across my head to share the instructions and information to the community. Playing multiplayer was a lagless blast, and for that, must be shared with the community.

This is a original guide. I (5onic) the owner of the content and would appreciate it if credit was given. Rating up, favouriting, giving feedback and sharing is highly appreciated, thank you all!
Pre-Reqs
  1. [Host] Copy of Zestiria PC
  2. [Host] Nvidia GPU Card that is eligable for GameStream Co-Op
  3. [Guest] Chrome & Plugin (It will install after first initial GameStream Session)
  4. Host needs a decent computer and decent internet connection
  5. [Both?] Controller: I tested it with a Xbox One & and my friend also used a controller

[Host] GameStream Co-op Application: Click Here [www.geforce.com]
Additional Info
This is the amazing part. The guest user (second player) does not need a good computer. Guest does not even need a graphics card. The stream acts as if you were watching a twitch video. Anyone with a garbage PC can play a high graphical game as long as the host user can run it. Guest does not need an Nvidia card.

Only ONE guest is a allowed to play the game, however you can get three local players on the host and stream to one guest for a four player experience.

Host PC:
    GPU:
  • Desktop: GeForce GTX 650 or higher graphics card
  • Notebook: Non-Optimus Notebook with GeForce GTX 660M or higher graphics (Optimus support coming later)
  • GPU driver: 355.60 or higher
  • CPU: Intel i3-2100 3.1GHz
  • System Memory: 4 GB or higher
  • Recommended Network Bandwidth: 7 Mbps upstream

Guest PC:
  • GPU: No minimum requirement
  • CPU: Intel i3-2100 3.1GHz or higher
  • System Memory: 4 GB or higher
  • Software: Chrome version 44

  3. Host User: Press (Alt+Z) to bring up the GameStream Menu




  4. Host User: Choose "playing with your friend" and then "Guest Controls"

Parsec actually lagged for me though. Unless you recommend people a somewhat laggy experience.

I think this functionality has been removed entirely. At least, it's missing for me. But Parsec is still an option.

Parsec all the way

You can also use PARSEC on all things, including emulation. You're not limited like Nvidia game share!

Hello, sorry for the lack of response. I did not know there were comments.

I highly suggest yall switch over to using PARSEC as it does the exact same thing as Nvidia game share but extremely better. I'll make a guide when Vesperia comes out.

Hey uh, i know this is from 2015. I saw another necro post that talked about using gamestream to play emulated games? Like from znes. Or really any other game that is not "Directly supported by gamestream" On the gamestream list https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/geforce-experience/games/

Now I do not know how to add these things, nobody seems to give a straight answer lmfao. Just tell me the steps if you know them. I have all the settings enabled to do it, I just want to use gamestream to stream -any-thing I want with my buddy ole pal. The error I get is "A supported game is required to use this feature"

From what I can tell, people have been getting around this somehow. Unless they forced us to use supported games at a later date

hey 5sonic i just requested a friend add since I think gamestream co op glitched recently. I can't find much new resources about it.

Can this work with games like cuphead? Or other games that only have local?

Does this work with Zestaria fix?

Can you play without controller?
