How to Fix GeForce NOW Error Code 0x0000012E

Step 1: Check Internet Connection Requirements

To enjoy seamless gaming on GeForce NOW, a stable internet connection is crucial. According to NVIDIA, you need:

• At least 15 Mbps for 720p at 60 FPS.
• At least 25 Mbps for 1080p at 60 FPS.

Pro Tip: Adjust streaming quality from the Settings panel, particularly if your connection is slower. Monitor your connection for any latency issues using online ping monitoring tools.

Step 2: Verify Additional Requirements

On Windows platforms, ensure you are using the 64-bit version of the OS, as 32-bit versions are incompatible with GeForce NOW. Having a wired Ethernet connection or a 5GHz Wi-Fi setup improves the performance significantly.

Pro Tip: Always use an up-to-date version of your browser, like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, when accessing GeForce NOW via the web.

Step 3: Run the Application as Administrator

Administrative permissions are often required to access certain features of the GeForce NOW app. Ensure that you launch it with elevated privileges:

1. Locate the GeForce NOW icon via the Taskbar search.
2. Select Run as administrator from the options.
3. Confirm by clicking Yes on the User Account Control prompt.

Step 4: Additional Suggestions

Here are further considerations to keep in mind:

• Make sure you’re in a region where GeForce NOW is accessible.
• You need to own the game you wish to play on the platform.
• If issues persist, a complete uninstallation and subsequent reinstallation of the GeForce NOW app may help. Use a trustworthy uninstaller program to eliminate all residual files.
