So, I’m running into this pretty frustrating issue with the Shadow PC client on my Ubuntu system. I’ve been trying to connect to my Shadow PC, but every single time, I get this error code: R-0x7F. It’s like a wall that I can’t break through!
I did some reading to see if anyone else has had this problem, but there aren’t a ton of clear solutions out there. The P.C. was all set up and working great until a few days ago. One moment I was streaming my games in all their glory, and the next, it’s like the connection just dropped off the face of the Earth. I’m relying on this setup a lot for both gaming and some remote work, so it’s kind of a big deal for me.
I’ve already tried some basic troubleshooting steps like restarting the client, rebooting my Ubuntu machine, and checking my internet connection. Everything seems fine on my end; speed looks good and there are no outages reported. I even made sure that my firewall isn’t blocking the connection. It’s so annoying when all you want to do is log in and game or work, and you’re just hit with error codes instead.
I’ve seen some advice suggesting to reinstall the client, but I’m a bit hesitant because I’m not sure if that might mess up my settings or require me to set everything up from scratch again. Honestly, that doesn’t sound like a fun time.
Anyone here ever dealt with this R-0x7F error? If you have, how did you manage to fix it? Or if you can think of other troubleshooting steps I might have missed, I’d love to hear them! I’m really hoping there’s an easy solution because I’d rather not spend all weekend trying to get this sorted out. Would appreciate any help or guidance on this—thanks!
Dealing with Shadow PC Error R-0x7F
That R-0x7F error can be super frustrating! It sounds like you’ve already covered a lot of ground with troubleshooting, which is great. Here are a few more ideas you might try:
It sounds like your setup was working smoothly before, so hopefully, it’s just a minor hiccup. Good luck, and I hope you can get back to gaming and working without too much delay!
The R-0x7F error you’re encountering with the Shadow PC client on Ubuntu can indeed be frustrating, especially if you’ve been able to connect without issues in the past. One potential cause for this error might be related to network configurations or changes made in your local environment. Since you’ve already checked your internet connection and ensured that your firewall isn’t blocking the connection, consider looking into your router’s settings. Sometimes, quality of service (QoS) settings or other configurations could inadvertently affect the connection to your Shadow PC. It’s also advisable to check if there are any updates available for the Shadow client, as running the latest version can help resolve known issues.
If reinstalling the client is an avenue you’d like to explore, you can back up your configuration files beforehand to avoid losing your settings. In Linux, configuration files are typically stored in your home directory, so look for folders or files named similar to Shadow or its associated applications. Once you have a backup, proceed with the reinstallation. If the problem persists after reinstalling, you could try reaching out to the Shadow support team or their community forums, as other users may have experienced the same issue and could provide insights or solutions that worked for them. By taking these steps, you should hopefully be able to regain access without much hassle.
