I'm surprised it works! It's a Toshiba x305 from 2008. Laptop runs pretty freaking smooth for it's age with a SSD and 8 gigs of Ram. Champ for being so old. Also, the speakers are Still high quality to this day!

Anyone else revive their old hardware from ancient times thanks to GeForce now?

For anyone having trouble getting Steam Workshop mods working on GeForce NOW, NVIDIA has published a temporary workaround that may help.

I personally tested the method with Squad, where I was able to trigger Steam Workshop mod downloads inside my GeForce NOW session.

Important: I've only tested Squad. I can't guarantee this will work with every game or mod.

How to get Steam Workshop mods working

(vote to reach more people)

Step 1 — Launch your game

Open GeForce NOW and launch the Steam game you want to play.

Wait until you reach the game's page in your Steam Library.

Do not press Play yet.

Step 2 — Sign out of Steam

Inside the GeForce NOW session:

1. Open the Steam account menu.
2. Sign out of Steam.
3. Sign back into your existing Steam account.

Make sure you're doing this inside GeForce NOW, not on your local computer.

Step 3 — Download your mods

1. Open the Steam Workshop for your game.
2. Find the mods you want to use.
3. Subscribe to the mods.
4. If you're already subscribed, try unsubscribing and subscribing again.
5. Open Steam's Downloads section and check whether the Workshop files are downloading.
6. Wait for the downloads to finish before launching your game.

Step 4 — Launch your game

Once your Workshop downloads are complete, return to your Steam Library and press Play.

If the game supports the downloaded mods, they should now be available.

My personal experience with Squad

I tested this method with Squad through GeForce NOW.

Initially, I had problems with mods not downloading normally.

After signing out of Steam, signing back in, and resubscribing to the Workshop items, Steam started downloading them inside the cloud session.

The download speeds were extremely slow at first, but the workaround successfully triggered the downloads.

Important limitations

1. You need to repeat the process.

According to NVIDIA, you must repeat these steps each time you start a new session in which you want to use Workshop mods.

2. Not every game is compatible.

NVIDIA says the temporary workaround has been enabled for selected games, including games from its top 100 Steam games testing.

NVIDIA specifically identifies these games as incompatible with the temporary workaround:

• Rust
• DayZ
• Project Zomboid

Other games may also be incompatible.

3. Mods are not universally supported.

NVIDIA has not introduced full Steam Workshop support across GeForce NOW. This is a temporary solution while the company explores broader support.

4. Downloading doesn't guarantee compatibility.

A mod downloading successfully doesn't necessarily mean it will load correctly or work on multiplayer servers.

5. Download speeds may vary.

In my Squad test, downloads initially proceeded extremely slowly. If yours are slow, check Steam's Downloads page and allow time for them to complete.

Tip: Slow Steam Workshop downloads?

If your mods are downloading extremely slowly, try changing your Steam Download Region.

1. Open Steam inside GeForce NOW.
2. Go to Steam → Settings → Downloads.
3. Find Download Region.
4. Select a different region, preferably one close to your GeForce NOW server.
5. If Steam asks to restart, be aware this may interrupt your session.

This may improve download speeds, although results can vary.

Note: Change the Steam download region, not necessarily your GeForce NOW server region.

Does GeForce NOW support Steam Workshop mods?

Last updated by NVIDIA: August 26, 2026.

Everything described in the main workaround comes from NVIDIA's published instructions. The Squad results are from my own testing.

Help the community test other games

Since NVIDIA hasn't published a complete compatibility list, it would be useful to collect results from other players.

If you try this method, please comment with:

• Game: Which game did you test?
• Downloads: Did Steam Workshop download the mods?
• In-game: Did the mods actually load and work?
• Issues: Any errors, slow downloads, or other problems?

I'll try to keep the post updated with community results.

Hopefully this helps other GeForce NOW users who have been trying to play with Steam Workshop mods.

If the workaround isn't available for your game, NVIDIA recommends submitting feedback through the GeForce NOW app.

My GeForce Now has been having some issues for about two weeks.

Every time I log in to play NBA 2K, the game takes a long time to load, and when I'm playing, it freezes a lot. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I use the South American server, and I'm on the Performance plan.

Anyone else facing the issue, sometimes i get a green glitch screen when i start a session so i close it and start anew, then you get this wrapping up screen which goes on forever, its been 15 min and still they have not wrapped it up, it happens all the time

I have been using GeForce now temporarily and everything seems to be working fine and the other splinter cell games work good but when I try to play chaos theory it stays at a really low fps and no in game setting I’ve tried has had any impact. I was wondering if anyone else has tried to play the game and had the same issue or if they had the issue with another game when all the other games seemed to be working fine and what I might be able to do to fix it

Hm... Moved to Apple TV from Google TV... and I can't find GFN app. Is there any news when it will be available?!?

from the philippines. anyone knows how long will it take to be able to subscribe on their day pass/monthly subscription?

How does the app perform on some of the new LG TVs? Curious if the app’s reliable enough to perform on its own vs running a hdmi from my laptop to my tv

the devs were a joy and super cool when reached out to and asked their publisher to opt in!

I’ve noticed a huge difference in image quality depending on what device I use for GeForce NOW.

On my MacBook Air M1, the stream looks extremely ugly and unplayable with massive latency even at 1080p. But when I use my gaming laptop with an RTX 3060 connected to my 4K OLED TV, GeForce NOW can look almost native to me with no latency.

Assuming the connection, resolution and bitrate are similar, how much does the hardware used to decode the stream actually matter?

I know for in fact the 3000's series GPU have HDMI 2.1 which let's me play at 4K/120fps, but with normal HDMI I should do 4K/60, why do Macbooks look so bad?

Is there a fix is it just high traffic?

is it different from the playing it native ??

So basically everytime i try playing apex on gfn this error shows up and i tried literally everything such as switching the game store option (only shows ea) restart session, but nothing works any way i can fix this

Bulgaria EU server, connection tested and fine, app has been reinstalled just in case. Games either wont launch or will go to blackscreen (Space Marine 2). Now it says its looking for rigs while im on Ultimate tier. Whats going on

Does anyone know if the game pass version of Valor Mortis Will come to the service.

I know sometimes the Xbox version isn't mentioned and then the game pass version does appear in the end

I have a good connection so please suggest me the best settings. I am always using 4K resolution with NO MORE than 60fps. I don’t play competitive games only story driven action adventure mostly. I have a Sony X90L tv.

1)Max bit rate: auto ?
2)Color Quality: 4.4.4 or 4.2.0?
3)L4S on ?
4)Upscale mode: standard ?
5)Adjust for network conditions ?

Also in games which upscale you use ? Performance balanced or quality and why ?

I just tried GeForce for the first time last night so I’m a noob, but I have a question about graphics. I’m playing on a M2 MacBook Air and I can’t help but notice that the when I load into my game (Destiny 2), the graphics are just a bit soft. And it’s not just the game, the desktop of the cloud PC itself has the same fuzziness. I cranked up resolution in the GeForce settings to the max - It’s not unplayable (it’s considerably better than the 720p tv I was used to playing on), but I can tell it’s not producing the level of sharpness my Mac is capable of. I’m new to all of this so perhaps I’m just missing something very trivial. Any advice would be appreciated!

When I played Indiana jones and the circle the game genuinely looked like I was playing the game locally with a pc. The Witcher 3 however, I could easily tell that I was steaming this game.

Tested on multiple devices and on both home WiFi and phone's internet provider, same error

Hi everyone!

I'm having an issue with NVIDIA GeForce NOW and I'm trying to figure out what this error code means:

Error code: 0xCOF30004

I'm using a MacBook Air M3 (2024) with Safari. I've tried launching games through GeForce NOW, but I keep running into this error.

Has anyone experienced this before? Does anyone know what causes it or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance! 🙏
