Greetings,
Over the last few days, I've had issues with Stadia. I can't say if it's the controller or if it's something with the CCU or just bad internet luck.
Let's take AC Odyssey for example. If I push the left stick up to go forward, my character will move sometimes just a little bit, sometimes for a couple of seconds then just stops, even though I'm still pushing the stick up. It's the same with every stick/button/trigger (like I can't shoot arrows because it doesn't always register I'm holding L2)
In F1 2020, i push the stick to turn and it will just turn a little bit and then return to center, even though I'm still "turning" on the pad. Same thing for the throttle, I pull R2 to accelerate but acceleration stops while I'm still pulling on the trigger.
When used wired with a tablet on a laptop, the Stadia controller works fine, as does a cheap generic bluetooth gamepad.
So I can only recreate this problem with the controller on wifi and on a CCU (which is wired by ethernet to a 125Mbps line). Speedtests indicate my internet is fine.
I've done a factory reset of the controller and the CCU.
So what could it be? a defective controller? some sort of input lag? or a bad routing between me and the Stadia servers?
Everything worked fine in December. Any idea?
Thanks!
A little update that may be useful to some of you.
I believe I have solved my problem, I haven't had any trouble with Stadia in the last 4 days. Turns out my router was somehow at fault.
So I had input lag with a TP-Link router (archer C6) and the stadia controller kept disconnecting on a Netgear cable modem/router (CG3100). I exchanged my cable modem with a Technicolor and, behold, everything works fine now.
So looks like the controller is a bit picky when it comes to routers.
I would like to recommend you to reach Stadia Support for further investigation on this issue: https://support.google.com/stadia/gethelp
