For like the past year or so, the Stadia Android app just randomly crashes for me after a few seconds when trying to navigate around the UI or do anything with it.
Uninstalling and reinstalling the app temporarily resolves the continuous crashing, but not for long. This was happening on my Pixel 2 XL with Android 11 and still happens on my Pixel 6 Pro with Android 12.
I think the issue might lie server-side, though, because right after the Android app crashes, if I try to open Stadia on the PWA, I get the following error message:
This error 429 lasts for a few minutes, but once it's gone, the Android app also starts working for me again. But it's a continuous cycle when the Android app crashes again.
Looking online, I've only seen like one or two posts on the Stadia community forum about an issue like this. Apparently, error 429 means that "the client application has surpassed its rate limit, or number of requests they can send in a given period of time," and one person said they resolved it by reducing the number of people on their friends list and I reduced mine from around 75 to 25 but am still experiencing the problem.
Not sure what else I can try to get the Android app to work consistently. I've been resorting to just using the PWA on my phone, but the Android app still has some other features like notifications and controller setup.
Hey @-Dementor-,
Sorry to hear you encounter that issue. Sounds really weird.
From my point of view you could try these steps
If these steps don't help as well, I would recommend to get in touch with the Stadia team. They might have further TS steps for you and they may also able to escalate your issue, so I'd definitely recommend you this.
