Games won't start

The game loads but when it says push A to start, nothing happens - in any game.

Did you try to reset the Chromecast Ultra?

And are you trying to cast from your mobile device to the Chromecast Ultra or are your trying it from the Chromecast Ultra menu itself?

Hi,

 

Thanks for the reply. I unplugged my Chromecast ultra. My Stadia controller is paired to it and I added the games in the app on my phone. I launch Stadia from the controller, pick a game which loads to title, but from there I can't start the game following the instructions on the screen. Only button that works in title screen is the screenshot.

did you solved the problem? i have the exactly same. The controller works because in the menue i am able to use all buttons, but on the landing page of any game nothing except screenshots and the main stadia button works... no A no nothing. 

i tried everything i could imagine, re connections, different Wlans (2,5 and 5 Ghz) resettet Controller and the Chromecast Ultra... nothing. Works up to the Gamescreen an then nada. This is not making any sense to me. Can't be a Hardware Problem ... buttons work transmissions work at least in the menue.. so what the hack this can be?

@mOUs3y @skydriver 

Are you able to cast games from the Stadia App to the Chromecast Ultra?

If not please try a hard reset/factory reset with Chromecast Ultra.

Yes, they appear on screen. But you have to agree to the terms of usage and at that screen - no matter what game i try- i am not able to use the Buttons on the Controller. They are NOT defect, because you can step into settings withe the Stadia Button and in the settings al buttons work fine, but back to Gamescreen you cant type the A B X Y or the cross or the sticks. only the Stadia Button and funny the Screenshot button work

Yeah I wanted to try Stadia, but 30 days of not being able to play a single game I ended up just cancelling it lol.

I have the exact same problem. I noticed thet the gameplay is set on keyboard and mouse. E.g. At the beginning of cyberpunk 2077 it says to press space key to start. But I have no idea how to change it to the stadia Controller.

sorry, but that's not the same problem. Our connections are not the problem. The controller works fine with the Chromecast Ultra.... untill we try to play a game. Then the ABXY Button the cross, the sticks and the rear buttons won't work. Only the screenshot and the stadia main button works on the gamescreen. If you go to the settings via the stadia button - all button buttons will work fine. So it is not a connecting problem. The games expected inputs from a Keyboard not from the controller.

Well i had actually exactly the same problems. Still could activate google assistant, take screenshots or enter my stadia menu.. only preceeding inside the game was impossible because the game wouöd not except any button input. However i am sorry if i couldn't help you to find a solution. :disappointed_face:
