F1 2020 keeps freezing

Hi,  so I've upgraded to Pro and started playing F1 2020 but every time I play it freezes during game play. There is a lot of stutter and then all of a sudden it freezes and I lose my controller connectivity to both Chromecast and Stadia app. I then have to reconnect both which is painful as both Chromecast and the Controller seem to take age to reconnect to my wifi. It only ever happens in this game as all other games work fine.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

It can happen if the Chromecast is not close enough to the router, you can try either by increasing your signal strength by going closer to the router or by using a cable, also in my case, I had an issue of frequently disconnection because I had the same wifi name for 5ghz and 2.4ghz network (many routers use this as default setting), and this was causing the controller and the Chromecast to switch network from time to time and disconnecting me.

Another thing that you should check is if your connection is stable enough by checking with a speed test (look for ping, jitter and packet loss values)

Jitter 18 

Speed test 320mbps

It only seems to happen in this game which is why I'm so confused.

Those are great values, you should be able to play without any issue, My son played F1 2021 today, and we didn't noticed any freeze or lag

Hi @Geewalt1,

If this only happens with F1 the best thing you can do is trying to contact Stadia support about this.
Not sure why this is happening. :face_without_mouth:
