Secondly, On a local machine, the mouse is bound as a controller to a game until you select another window. This is because all controls used are transmitted invidually so this will cause your character to move very jerkily. I have used the software for keeping up with activities in game, but full play is pretty much not possible as it is not remote gaming software.īecause of this, there are 2 restrictions on gmaing that you are experiencing.įirstly, TeamViewer does not transmit a solid, continuous key press the same as a local machine. It is designed for business use and then offered to free users to assist their friends and family.

To be completely honest, the software is not designed for this purpose. I would hope that this is the first sort of optimization that TV would think of. My router shows connections to the outside world and shows their realtime data rates, so I can tell whether TV is sending video data to a server and back to my lan when I connect locally. I can prove whether or not this is true and will do so when I get a chance. I don't know, but I would hope that if the two machines are on the same LAN then Teamviewer uses a local LAN connection. I know that NAT traversal, however TV does it, might be some sort of issue, but I think I have ruled that out in this case. I'm not going to open any ports to the outside world that can be attacked when I'm not looking. I have no way to test this conjecture, but a look by TV developers should be instructive. I suggest that Mouse / KB polling in TMViewer does not work for games. I think the problem is that games poll mouse / KB at high speed and all other apps deal with events. I'm suggesting that folks at TMViewer need to test TMViewer with a game and find that the mouse / KB handing is not suitable for controlling games. In that case, my game traffic is either local or remote, but the problem is that TV acts the same when controlling the remote game. The behaviour of TMViewer is the same whether I'm using this LAN setup or going to a remote system - helping a friend for example.

I'm running a private server, so any WAN based Teamviewer traffic is not interfereing with the game traffic, which is going over my 1GB LAN connections. However, My game connection is between systems on my LAN.

Is teamviewer safe osrs
