Connection Status Updates

Hey everyone,

Starting today and over the course of the next 4 days, we’ll be rolling out a couple of updates to the Connection Panel on Stadia.

Based on your feedback, the connection status icon will reflect only your connection strength. So, you’ll see a green “Excellent” icon if your connection strength is strong, whether or not you’re streaming in 4K. Stadia Pro users will still see a 4K icon in the connection panel when streaming in 4K resolution. You can learn more about stream quality in our updated Help Center article, which details each of our connection statuses (Excellent, Fair and Game might stop).

These changes should help provide a more accurate readout for you and set us up for more refinements to the connection panel in the future. Just to be clear, your gameplay quality itself will not be affected. The only difference will be the reporting of connection quality.

This is really nice to see! It's reassuring that people's voices are being heard.

This is great! Thanks.

Would it be possible giving some more depth into the three statues on the "Bandwidth, data usage, and stream quality" FAQ article? What is "required" from the endpoint to reach an "Excellent" status?

Nice update, keep 'em coming!

Will WQHD be supported sometime (soon-ish)? Because a WQHD monitor isn't 4k and therefore the stream will just be HD within the Chrome browser, the image always gets stretched and quite blurry.

I love that you guys are building off the community. That is exactly how it should be. 

You guys work so hard and thank you for supporting us while we are all stuck at home. It means more than you know. You all are heros and anyone who says otherwise will see it eventually. 

 

Keep up the great work!!!

Fantastic stuff (information) making it  a lot more human (understandable) I guess :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I think it would be interesting to have a checkable option in which the user could see a real-time read out of the internal render resolution, and what the stream resolution is. Maybe frame rate too? Kind of like the stats for nerds on YouTube.

Even more, while checking the connection some more technical details would be great. I am suffering right now from "bad" connection, i am sure my provider is doing some weird stuff on the line, while everyone uses netflix, prime and other streaming things, it would be great to get more technical information.

I have just a question: I play stadia mostly on my TV on CCU, today I saw that the icon status of connection, even in gameplay didn't show the quality of my connection. I always have 'excellent', but as from today this icon stays white, showing nothing, like when I'm on Stadia dashboard before launching any game, is it related to this changes you are releasing? Thanks!

I think this will be really helpful, even to those players who only see a slight lag during a game. Thanks

Good morning? If a customer wants to return a game can we get our refund or credit to another game?:thinking_face::thinking_face::thinking_face::thinking_face:

Great news, when we press that button we want quick info and quick action (in the middle of something we'd like to quickly get back to being in the middle of.) 

To that end I would highly suggest L1 & R1 be used as volume control on that screen.

Just a UI guy's suggestion and kudos.

 

P.S. Having a blast.

Ultra wide screens needs to be supported.  Hopefully its coming soon. An app for Android TVs would be great.
