Nvidia updates GeForce Experience, preps for the upcoming GameStream Co-op beta

Published on Thursday, 20 August 2015 10:29

Nvidia's GeForce Experience program for PC is not only a suite of tools for gamers to use when playing games on their PC, but also acts as a sort of bridge with the company's Shield Android devices as well. For example, you need GeForce Experience installed, as well as a compatible GeForce GPU, in order to use the GameStream feature with your Shield device.

Today Nvidia has pushed out an update that brings a lot of fixes to the program. While most are focused on the PC side of things, there are a few things related to mobile with this update as well. However, there also seems to be some additions that are unlisted in the changelog highlights.

Official GeForce Experience changelog (v. 2.5.13):

• Adds low latency games optimizations for DOTA2, League of Legends, and Hearts of the Storm on GeForce GTX 950.
• Fixes an issue where ‘new OPS settings have been downloaded’ notifications are displayed even when the notify me checkbox is unchecked.
• Fixes an issue where GeForce Experience doesn't open when system language is set to Turkish.
• Fixes an issue where ‘GeForce Experience session has expired’ notifications are displayed at the wrong time.
• Fixes an issue where ShadowPlay causes the audio to play in a loop.
• Fixes an issue where SHIELD controller loses control when another controller is plugged into the PC.

What isn't mentioned are the additions to content sharing and Nvidia's GameStream getting prepped for the upcoming co-op beta. From within the GeForce Experience Overlay, you can now upload directly in-game to YouTube. You can also do some minor editing to your videos as well such as trimming and title editing. Also in the Share overlay there will soon be the option for GameStream Co-op. This essentially starts a 1-on-1 session with a friend, so you can play a co-op game together.

Setting up GameStream Co-op is simple as well. Both users need GeForce Experience installed, Google Chrome, and an official free extension from Nvidia. From there all your friend has to do is send you an invitation to play. This actually opens up a whole slew of possibilities.

While this can be done with any game, as long as both users have said game installed, Nvidia is also working on native co-op support from within Geforce Experience as well. This would basically mean that if both users have a particular game installed, and both are logged into GeForce Experience, they can join each others game. So far one game already has this enabled and that is Trine 3.

The update for GeForce Experience should be available already for anyone with the software installed on their PC already. The GameStream Co-op is considered a beta right now with a full early access happening in September 2015. So while this update is minor in some ways, it is what Nvidia's is prepping for that is of great interest.
