Humankind Stadia Version

Love Stadia since day one, best performing and in general best solution for casual user's like me.

With that said, there are things that are absolutely frustrating. I know Google is not responsible for the situation, but this has huge impact on the platform and it's success going forward.

I am talking about the lack of patching for Humankind from Amplitude Studios. The version is and will always be behind it's PC version - written on Games2Gether. Especially in this early stage of the Game the patches are really important for the experience as there are still many glitches.

So why is Stadia not more successful? Why are people requesting refunds for their purchases? It's exactly because of things like the post below in regards to Games like Humankind. 

Please, work with the devs to improve. Thanks.

After talking to the producers to confirm which patch version was released on Stadia, I can now tell you that yesterday's patch is the equivalent of Patch 1.0.2.139 on PC, plus some additional improvements for the touch controls. We're working to port the latest PC patch to Stadia, but I do not have an estimate on when it will be ready. Unfortunately, patches after that will likely still be later and less frequent compared to the PC version, as we work with our partners to ensure the best quality port of these patches rather than risking a bad patch."

Really, no one else bothered with this situation and update status? No love for 4X / Humankind? :winking_face:

Hi @bFudg3,

Well I did pre-ordered it but still haven't played it. It is sad to see that patching on Stadia is behind. It happens with more games like Outriders....

Sure you don't have to have the latest patches if the game just runs fine. But balancing things or even game breaking things like crossplay I really dislike it.

There is not much we can do about... :face_with_rolling_eyes:

Hi @bFudg3 , iam bothered as well. Why?

i also bought the game on stadia but unlike you i wanted to play the game on my iPad. Just for a relayed couch session. I love the game, in theory. 
what can i say, for a seamless andjoyfull experience off course you need the direct touch funtion on iOS. So i waited another month for this crucial feature. Now, yesterday was thebig day and direct touch hits Stadia for iOS. I was very happy and just tested it on my phone. BAM, runs. Smoothly, great looking. But, playong zhis kind of game on a phone? Comon, no chance. Iam not 20 anymore. My eyes cant see **bleep** on this tiny stamp-screen. No, i wanted the ipad feeling. And, dödöm (sad buzzer noise), on ipad you only have the touch elements function. I mean comon? Whats up? Fo i have to wait another month to play it on recent ipad firmware (15.02) so called ipadOS. I sadly think yes. 

if here is anyone from stadia around please let me know when this Feature direct-touch) also will be available for ipads.

Hi @RXShorty, in general youre rigth. This feature now is available. But at least for me, only on my iPhone not on my iPad.
Which din my eyes it doesnt make any sense. So, this i my problem right now. Iphone yes, but way to small to play such a complex game. Ipad would be cool because of the real estate you have there. But its not supported. :disappointed_face:

Sad but true.

And it's not the only game impacted, and not the only devs that doesn't do anything about it.
Some games were released in 2020 on Stadia with multiples bugs without any fix so far.

Thanks all for sharing your experience and view.

Sure, not much to do about it, but at least try to get some attention at Google and the devs as well.

It's just a vicious circle, not enough purchases on Stadia to put more focus on it, no updates for the platform / games frustrating existing users and keeping new users away...awful to see because Stadia in general is amazing :confused_face:

This October patch broke the dragging action for touch control on Stadia's Humankind on Android. Tested both with the Pixel 4 and Galaxy Tab S7+, I used to be able to drag Humankind's on Stadia map before the October patch but not anymore. I use on screen touch control

Hi, can I check the new update "Together we Rule" is coming to Stadia. If not I think Stadia purchasers should be refunded so we can play this great game on another platform

It was in the commercial, but so was the previous DLC. Don't expect this will happen.

I have been actively responding in the games2gether Stadia Update? subject and really nothing is changing.

  • We are behind dozens of patches (for PC).
  • We missed out on 1 DLC and probably will miss out on the next one as well.
  • Timed events are never there for Stadia, because.. well.. that's needs to be updated into the game and they don't update the game.
  • According to the latest update in that Stadia Update>? megatread, the Stadia version will be aligned with the console version!!!
  • We paid the same amount of money as PC players, but don't get the same treatment/experience.

I am active in their forum, I even contacted Amplitude, SEGA AND Google (Stadia) and all three are doing the same: point at others:

  • Google Stadia: you have to ask the developer.
  • SEGA: you need to talk to Amplitude. 
  • Amplitude: the porting company is lacking behind.

I don't know who the porting company is, but apparently these three companies don't care about us. That's clear. 

If I could I would want my money back. I poured hunderds of hours in Humankind on Stadia, but seeing we are so hard neglected is really "hurting" and makes me stop playing the game. 

I honestly believe that Google, looking at the current of Stadia, should be way more pro-active/re-active in getting this type of BS solved. Talk with the devs, send over devs to help, give them freaking money! Just do something to solve these kind of issues because THAT's the reason people stop playing (and paying) on Stadia.
