Hey @dogdude97,

sorry to hear you have issues playing your games on Stadia.

First of all you can try play Stadia via the Stadia App on a mobile phone/tablet or on your TV with the Chromecast to see if it's only an issue in the Chrome Browser or a general issue.

If it's an issue with your Chrome Browser, I recommend to try the following steps and check after each step if that solves the issue:

• Check that you have the most recent Chrome version.
• Disable all extensions in the browser and check if that solves the issue.
• Delete the cache & cookies of Chrome.
• Check that your Chrome Browser is not blocked by any Malware (check here step 5).
• Check your PC if there is any Malware/Virus installed that might cause issues in your browser. Try to just run an antivirus-programm to isolate this.
• Check if you have experimental Features (Chrome flags) activated:

1. Go to chrome://flags.
2. Search a specific theme to your problem with the search bar and check if you can disable this feature, e.g. "enables pointer lock options" or "hardware accelerated video decode".
3. If you can't find those, click on "reset to standard" in the top right corner to enable the standard-settings of the browser.

• Uninstall Chrome and install it again to have a "clean" version.

Hello @dogdude97,

I installed Chrome on my Ubuntu setup and are able to play Stadia.
Did you try this already?

no not yet

@dogdude97 

Please let us know if that worked for you. 

[dogdude97]

so i tried using another computer and that worked but im still trying to fix it on this computer

[dogdude97]

do you know how to fix it on linux/brave

[Chufu · Accepted solution]

I am not sure if that's working, because according to the requirements for Stadia, if you want to play it on PC, you need the Chrome Browser. I guess for Brave/Linux it's not supported yet. Other browsers might work (i heard for some guys it worked also on Microsoft Edge for example), but I think it's best working on Chrome.

[dogdude97]

ok

[Sharkboy-Miles]

Yeah, you need chrome.  I'm on Opera GX and when I went onto chrome it worked fine
