Hey @Mattlaren,

you might get that error, because keyboard + mouse doesn't work anymore for PUBG, see here:

  • On Oct. 6, the Stadia mouse and keyboard matchmaking pool will be closed. Since launch, Stadia has given us the ability to reach a wider audience for new and returning players on an additional platform. As the service evolved, we found that a predominant amount of our players preferred to play with a controller. Due to this, we’ve decided to focus on the Stadia controller matchmaking pool, helping maximize our Battle Royale experience for players and giving them the best experience possible. While the consolidation of both matchmaking pools was explored, we felt that keeping a controller only queue was critical to upholding the competitive integrity of the player experience, as is the case with all our platforms. For refunds of content purchases, please contact Stadia Support at http://g.co/stadia/help to get in touch with an agent.

To find out if that's the issue, can you use your controller for example to still play PUBG on your computer via Chrome?

I understood the problem, the question is, could you still play with the mouse and keyboard? What did you do to be able to play again Mattlaren?

That actually was a very lazy solution from PUBG regarding to the complaining that was hard to find real players when playing with M&K. Because they only allow cross play when using a controller. \

If I was part of the Stadia team, I would prevent companies to do that. It sounds like a horrible idea to me. Now people are not complaining to PUBG and is complaining to Stadia thinking is Stadia fault that M&K is not working. I believe that is the only game in Stadia that M&K does not work and I hope it stay that way.

Horrible solution! If I play with my computer I want to use keyboard + mouse. With TV I'm ok to use Controller. I'll most likely move to other Stadia games because of this.

Lol stadia is really crap.

Few interesting games.High prices. Super Unstable. Not very beautiful.

And now you're telling me i cant play this kind of game with mouse and keyboard.

Happy i never opened that controller and chromecast so i can get rid of without loosing to much.

After a while without playing I am about to start PUBGS and I find this pleasant surprise. As founder I am horrified by such a decision and I am in the position of canceling my subscription almost a year after starting on this platform ...

I'm also a founder and I've just been able to get a friend on Stadia just for PUBG and then find out that we can't play. The stadia team is ditching the very player they wanted to attract.

What a terrible idea. Back to Steam version of PUBG so I can actually play the game properly.

wow.......this is horrible :(. hadn't played in awhile and was excited to check out the new add on for PUBG. Wish there was a way to remove claimed games from my collection that I'll never play again. I hope other games do not go this route of controller only play.

Wanted to play today to discover that... poor decision ! I used to play a lot and I don't like playing FPS without mouse and keyboard. Thumbs down Google and Stadia.

Yup it's sad to see a publisher/developer to do these kind of changes. 
I am afraid Google or Stadia can't help it, blame PUBG. :expressionless_face:

This was not a decision that was made by Google/Stadia. This was entirely a game vendor decision. If you have a problem with m&k not being an option in this game then first and foremost talk to the game vendor.

The weak thing is that the publisher decided to disable the mouse and keyboard for PUBG.
I tried to play a pad and it is not doing well.
If I decided to play on the computer, it is logical that I would like to have a mouse and keyboard in the game. I am reluctant to go back to the game, playing the game pad on the computer in fps is pointless. I thought of submitting a ticket to the publisher of PUBG, but doubts this will help.
