HOW TO CREATE GOOGLE CLOUD GAMING MACHINE

FIRST STEP YOU CAN CREATE GOOGLE CLOUD FREE TRAIL ACCOUNT

Google is currently offering $300 of free credit to new users of Google Cloud. With an average rate of $1.50 per hour, that could be as much as 200 hours of free Cloud Gaming!

• Visit Google Cloud’s Website and create a new Google Cloud Account. Sign into that account when you’re finished and open the Google Cloud Console.

NOW CREATE VIRTUAL MACHINE IN THE CLOUD

STEP-1:From the Google Cloud Console, select Compute Engine from the left sidebar. Click on VM Instances.

STEP-2:Choose the option to create a new Instance.

STEP-3:Give your new Cloud Server a name (this can be anything that you want).

STEP-4:Use Google’s Website to research the servers that are available in your region. You’ll need to select a server that offers the Nvidia Tesla P100 Workstation GPU. It’s also important to select a location that is physically close to where you live.

STEP-5:Under Machine Type, choose your CPU and RAM from the dropdown list. For our testing we chose an 8 Core CPU with 30 GB of RAM. Next click on the option to Customize.

STEP-6:In the Customize menu, select 1 for the number of GPU’s, and then select NVIDIA Tesla P100 Virtual Workstationfor the GPU Type.

STEP-7:Under Boot Disk, select Windows Server 2016 Datacenter for your Operating System. Near the bottom of this menu, you can choose the amount of Hard Drive Storage for your server. Be aware that each 100 GB of Storage is roughly $17 per month. For our server we chose 120 GB.

LAST STEP-7:At the bottom of the screen click Createto finalize your machine.

OPEN PORTS FOR PARSEC SETUP

STEP-1:Go back to the main Google Console page and select VPC Network from the sidebar. From this menu select Firewall Rules

STEP-2:On the next screen, click Create Firewall Rule near the top of the page.

STEP-3:Give your Firewall Rule a name. It can be anything you want (we chose parsec).

STEP-4:In the Description field you are also welcome to write anything that you want.

STEP-5:Leave Logs, Network, Priority, Direction of Traffic, Action on Match, Targets, Source Filter, and Second Source Filter at their default values.

STEP-6:In the Target Tags field, give your rule a nickname. It’s important to make a note of this name because you’ll use it later to link the rule to your instance.

STEP-7:In the Source IP Ranges field enter 0.0.0.0/0

STEP-8:Under Protocols and Ports select Specific Protocols and Ports, and then check the UDP box. In the UDP field enter 8000-8011.

STEP-9:Click Create at the bottom of the page, and allow the rule to activate.

STEP-10:Return to the Google Cloud Console page and select Compute Engine and then VM Instances.

STEP-11:Click on the name of your Instance. At the top of the next page, choose the option to edit your Instance.

STEP-12:Near the middle of the following page, enter your Firewall tag in the Tags field (ie: If you gave your Firewall rule the nickname of parsec then enter parsec in the Tags field).

STEP-13:Save your changes at the bottom of the page

GENRATE THE PASSWORD 

STEP-1:From the VM Instances page, click the dropdown arrow next to RDP

STEP-2:Click the option to Set Windows Password and then click Set from the popup window that opens.

STEP-3:The system will display a randomized password. Copy this Password (we also recommend that you paste it somewhere safe in case you lose it).

DISABLE WINDOW SERVER MANAGER

STEP-1:SHORTLY AFTER YOU LOG IN TO YOUR CLOUD DESKTOP, WINDOW SERVER MANAGER SHOULD OPEN AUTOMATICALLY.CLICK (LOCAL SERVER) ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN.

STEP-2 NEAR THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, CLICK ON. (IE ENHANCED SECURITY CONFIGURE) AND SET BOTH OPTIONS THAT IT GIVES YOU TO(OFF)

STEP-3:CLICK (MANAGE)NEAR THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE SCREEN. CHOOSE(SERVER MANAGER PROPERTIES)FROM THE DROPDOWN MENU. PUT THE CHECKMARK IN THE(DO NOT START SERVER MANAGER AUTOMATICALLY AT LOGON)BOX.CLOSE THE SERVER MANAGER WINDOW.

STEP-1:Earlier we generated a random complex password for Windows. Let’s go ahead and create one that is easier to remember. Click on your Start Button and then open Settings.

STEP-2:From Settings click on Accounts.

STEP-3:On the left sidebar select Sign-In Options.

STEP-4:Near the middle of the window click the button to Change Password.

STEP-5:Paste your original Windows Password in the box and then continue.

STEP-6:Enter a new Windows Password and then confirm it (this can be anything that you want).

NOW INSTALL CHROME  BROWSER

STEP-1:Ironically Google Cloud is configured with Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer has the potential to meet our needs, but it struggles with a few of the files that we will need to download later. We recommend that you install Google Chrome instead.

STEP-2:Download and install Google Chrome on your server.

 NOW ENABLE AUTOMATIC LOGIN

STEP-1:We want our user to automatically log into Windows when we boot up the server. As an important note, this does technically mean that your server is less secure. We don’t recommend storing anything important on the server if you choose to log in automatically.

STEP-2:Uncheck the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer box. Type in your Windows Password when prompted.

NOW SETUP VIRTUAL AUDIO CABLE

STEP-1:Right now your server doesn’t support any audio. We’ll fix this in two steps. First click on the search button and type in Services. Open the Services App.

STEP-2:In the Services App, scroll to the bottom and double click Windows Audio.

STEP-3:In the properties window click on the dropdown and switch from Manual to Automatic. Start the service and then close the Services App.

STEP-4:The second step is to install an Audio driver. Open Google Chrome and download Virtual Audio Cable.

STEP-5:Extract the downloaded file to safe place on the computer. I recommend extracting it into a folder because there are many loose files in the archive.

STEP-6:n the extracted files, right click on VBCABLE_Setup_x64 and choose to run it as an Administrator.

STEP-7:Click Install and wait for it to complete.

NOW SET THE ELEVATE YOUR USER

STEP-1:Windows Server 2016 treats certain users a bit strangely, and can make it difficult to install certain programs. We can fix this by elevating our user permissions.

STEP-2:Click on the Windows Search button and search for Powershell.

STEP-3:Open a new Powershell window and then type powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

STEP-4:After typing the command, hit the Enter key on your keyboard to activate this setting.

NOW LET'S TIME TO INSTALL NVIDIA  DRIVER

STEP-1:Now we’re ready to install our Graphics Driver. It is extremely important to install the one that we are providing in this guide.

STEP-2:Open Google Chrome on your server and download the driver from-!DOWNLOAD!.

STEP-3:Install your Driver using default settings. When the install is complete, return to the Google Cloud Console.

STEP-4:Select Compute Engine and then VM Instances. Restart your server.

NOW HOW YOU CAN ENABLE VIRTUAL DISPLAY

STEP-1:Perform a search for Device Manager and open it.

STEP-2:Expand the Monitors category. You should see two virtual monitors. Right click on each monitor and uninstall it. The Monitorscategory should disappear.

STEP-3:Expand Display Adapters and right click on your P100 GPU. Choose to disable it. After it’s disabled, right click on it again and enable it. This process will generate two new monitors.

STEP-4:Expand the Monitors category again and right click on the first one. Select Properties. It will show that it’s either attached to the Nvidia GPU or a Microsoft Generic Adapter. Right click on the monitor that is attached to the Generic Adapter and disable it.

INSTALL PARSEC

STEP-1:Open up Google Chrome and visit the Parsec Website. Click on the option to download Parsec for Windows

STEP-2:At the top of the Parsec window, choose to enable Hosting.

STEP-3:Click on the Settings Gear in the top right corner of the Parsec window and open Settings.

STEP-5:Select the Network tab and enter 8000 for the Server Start Port.

IMPORTANT STEP:Also in Hosting, you’ll have the option to increase Parsec’s bandwidth. Increasing this number will improve the quality of the stream. If you do make changes here, make sure that you don’t choose a number that exceeds your internet download speed at home.

SETUP PARSEC TO START AUTOMATICALLY

STEP-1:Right click on the Windows Start Button and choose Run.

STEP-2:In the Run window, type shell:startup

STEP-3:This command will open a startup folder. Anything that you put in the folder will launch automatically when the server turns on.
