You connect to your game server over Remote Desktop (RDP), open the game — but the moment you close Remote Desktop, the game screen freezes. This is not a fault; it is simply how Remote Desktop works: when the connection closes, the game view stops too.
On other games you would prevent this with programs like Parsec/AnyDesk. But USKO bans those programs, so you cannot use them. The good news: it can be solved with Remote Desktop alone, without any banned software.
The fix is simple: the “computer in the middle” idea
You will not connect to the game server directly. You will put a normal, cheap VDS in between — a bridge. That bridge VDS stays connected to the game on your behalf and never closes; so the game server never sees the connection drop and the game never freezes. You just connect to and disconnect from the bridge VDS.
Setup (one time)
- Rent a plain VDS. It does not have to be a GPU or KO plan; an ordinary, cheap VDS is enough (the bridge only relays the connection, it needs no graphics card). It can be from us or from any other provider.
- From your own computer (or phone), connect to this bridge VDS over Remote Desktop.
- From inside the bridge VDS, open Remote Desktop again and connect to your actual game server (vGPU), then open the game. That is: a remote desktop inside a remote desktop. The game runs on that “inner” connection.
- Now close the outer connection whenever you like. The bridge VDS stays connected to the game server in the background; the game does not freeze.
What you gain
- Close your outer connection any time — the game does not freeze, the bridge VDS in the middle keeps it alive.
- Reconnect to the bridge VDS whenever you want; the game is right where you left it.
- You can connect and disconnect even from your phone — the game keeps running on the server.
- Manage all your clients from one place. If you have more than one game server (multiple characters/accounts), you open a separate remote desktop to each from inside the bridge VDS. So you manage them all from a single connection instead of juggling scattered windows on your own computer.
In short, you use a normal VDS as an “always-on bridge.” You come and go from the bridge; the game never closes.
Why it works
The remote desktop connection between the bridge VDS and the game server never closes. You only close your own connection to the bridge; the remote desktop window open inside the bridge keeps running in the background, so there is no drop on the game server’s side.
Things to watch
- The bridge VDS stays on 24/7 (it runs in the data center and does not depend on your computer).
- On the bridge VDS, do not “sign out” — that closes the inner connection too. Only close the remote desktop window.
- The bridge VDS needs no graphics card; the cheapest plan is enough. The graphics card belongs on the actual game server (vGPU).

Frequently asked questions
What kind of VDS do I need for the bridge — does it need a graphics card? No. The bridge only relays the connection, so a plain, cheap VDS is enough; it does not need a graphics card. The graphics card belongs on the actual game server (vGPU).
Do I have to buy the bridge VDS from you? No. The bridge VDS can be from any provider; what matters is that it stays on 24/7. You are welcome to use our affordable VDS plans for it.
Why doesn’t the game freeze when I close my own connection? Because the remote desktop connection between the bridge VDS and the game server never closes. You only close your own connection to the bridge; the bridge stays connected to the game server.
Can’t I just use Parsec or AnyDesk? USKO bans those programs, so you cannot use them. This method exists precisely for that reason: it needs no banned software, only Remote Desktop.
Can I connect and disconnect from my phone? Yes. You can connect to the bridge VDS from your phone over Remote Desktop and leave; the game keeps running on the server.
Can I manage several clients from one place? Yes. If you have more than one game server, you open a separate remote desktop to each from inside the bridge VDS and manage them all from a single connection instead of juggling scattered windows on your own computer.
