Error: Failed to start the game session.

I have had stadia since it came out. It's been hit or miss, depending on the game. Finally, I've been playing Ark on stadia and several days in and bam - all of a sudden I get this error. Now the game won't load and this error 'Failed to start the game session' comes up. I've tried 6X to get it to run. I have never encountered this issue before. The stadia is played through the chromecast and its a wired connection. Nothing has changed with my router for 2 years. Never had a problem. Do I switch back to PlayStation as there seems to be an atrocious lack of support available for those who pay monthly for stadia? Any recommendations?

 

Hey @Google are you listening?

Hi @FarmerJer - Sorry to hear about the issue you're having with Ark.  To help troubleshoot, is this happening on any other game that you're playing with Stadia or only on Ark? I've heard that Ark had some server troubles this weekend but I wasn't able to test it myself.

Yeah, other games, other stadia too. And on computer. Was happening on old router out of the blue so I upgraded internet and got new router. Same problem even with 550 mbps down and 30 up! Turned off firewall completely, same problem. No weird router configs or anything. Looks like Stadia is giving up running their platform and both my stadia ultra are now paperweights. What a waste.
