Calgary Canada here.
Latency is really good on D2, can barely tell the difference between Stadia and PS4. However the frequent drop in frame and video quality and the constant warning of unstable connection is really making this a bad experience for me. If this doesn't get better in a weeks time, I will just return the FE.
Edit:
Have Fibre 150/150 internet, ping to stadia.google.com is 17ms.
I haven't got any chances to buy any games, so I just tried Destiny 2 and Samurai Showdown.
Destiny 2 works fine when playing using controller. I tried it on PC Chrome browser and Pixel 3 XL, both using Xbox One controller, and they works. There might be latency, but I can't really feel it. I'm actually a Destiny 2 PC player though, so I can't really use a controller. The thing is, there's this weird lag while using m/kb. It almost feels like I'm using m/kb to move the analog stick on console, with this weird acceleration/deceleration.
Samurai Showdown works great. But then again, I don't really play fighting games that much. So there might be latency, but I definitely can't feel it. If you ask pro Street Fighter player, they might have different opinion. But it's definitely playable and I don't feel at disadvantage at any point.
I'm thinking of getting Tomb Raider 2013 since it's only $10.. Might give more impression later.
@Sparky Go to https://www.bungie.net/7/en/CrossSave to set up cross save. You'll pick one set of characters (presumably your non-stadia characters, in your case) that will be your cross-save characters and then you can play them on all platforms.
Thanks @Nimgimli for the information, I'll try to do that tonight when I get home fro work. I just received word my FE kit has arrived at home so I should be good to go when I get home to try that.
Thanks again!
@Sparky I used the destiny companion app. Select the More option then Cross save.In there you link your steam, xbox, ps4 and stadia Accounts. Once you verify them you can pick which characters you want to use on all system
Greetings,
I got my code yesterday afternoon and my controller last night. So far I have played on Chrome (Linux & Win10), Chromebook (Dell 5190), and Pixel 4.
I have used mouse and keyboard for Chrome (Linux w/Stadia extension & Win10 w/out Stadia extension) and the controller (wired) on Chromebook (w/Stadia extension) and Pixel4 (w/Stadia app).
Additionally, I have played on 100Mb / 15Mb, LTE, 1Gb / 1Gb, 2.5Ghz wifi, and 5Ghz wifi.
I have started games on one system and jumped to another, randomly stopped Chrome and resumed the game on another system. Performance has been very good. Input latency has been imperceptible from my PS4 or my Win10 PC games.
Please note that I a very casual gamer, so my PC is nothing special. Other than the code delivery issues, I have only had issues with pairing the controller / Chromecast Ultra / Stadia app.
I agree with you @Bluetooth ! The game seems to get better once you start getting into the game. Better and steadier stream in the triple A games that require a lot of internet! By the way @Bluetooth I love what you did with your avatar pick! ![]()
