Which version of Chrome are you running, this information should be available from the Chrome menu (top left) and then selecting About Google Chrome, also which version of Mac OS are you running too.
I have the same problem:
Chrome version: 78.0.3904.108
Macbook Mid 2010: core 2 duo 2.4 ghz 16 gb ram SSD storate 256 mb
@TheBartok That's the exact same version I have on my Windows 10 PC. Are you having trouble launching Stadia?
My guess is some of your Chrome extensions are the issue. Can you try opening Stadia from Incognito window?
@xquadersx What's your current Chrome version?
Hi, My Mac is macOS Sierra Version 10.12.6(16G2136)
and my Google Chrome account is Version 88.0.4324.192 (Official Build) (x86_64)
Same problem imac mid 2010
@Valynor I saw it run on a lot worst. ![]()
This is Stadia's official requirements page: https://support.google.com/stadia/answer/9338852?hl=en-CA
For "On a computer" it mentions "The iOS version requires a mobile device running iOS 11.0 or greater".
Unfortunately, it does not mention anything about macOS requirements. However, refer to this site: https://www.pcgamebenchmark.com/google-stadia-system-requirements
It mentions the requirement as "OS X Yosemite 10.10 and higher". I have no idea where this is sourced from, but it lines up with the year of the referenced iOS version, 2017.
In short, I suspect there may be a requirement that macOS be newer than what some of these old devices have, but I do not know for sure and can only go by this small bit of research.
There are no magic fixes for old technology. Stadia will eventually move from VP9 to the AV1 codec which needs even more processing power to decode.
The solution is to buy new hardware.
HI @ecin
I've tried running Stadia on my older MBPr, which is late-2013 model, Intel i7 2.3GHz, 16Gb DDR3 RAM. It has High Sierra installed and has no real issues. It may be that your machine is just that little bit older (there's got to be a cut-off at some point on the timeline i guess!) but thought it was worth mentioning in case there's a solution just out of reach....
Good luck!
Mine is late-2013 too:
3,4 GHz Intel Core i5
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2 GB
But I have those issues commented by the op. In the chromecast I have no problem. Stadia goes perfect. But in the iMac it doesn't goes well. I reinstalled chrome. In fact I formatted the HD and reinstalled Catalina. Same results. It just simply doesn't work in this Mac. Google promises that stadia will be playable in old devices, but it seems incorrect.
And i don´t know if it's a hardware problem. I mean, I´ve tried in my work laptop (windows i5, 2.3 GHz, 8GB RAM) with no dedicated graphic card, and three years old) and stadia goes well. My Mac is more powerful than this laptop and goes worse. I just don't understand.
Which version of Chrome are you going for walks, this facts have to be to be had from the Chrome menu (pinnacle left) and then choosing the cosplay About Google Chrome, also which version of Mac OS are you walking too.
