Are the ARK developers playing games with Stadia and deliberately set the graphics so low even ARK on my Switch looks better? Do they want to give Stadia a bad name? If you open the console in ARK and set the following settings, you can see that actually Stadia is the platform that can make ARK look better and play better than on any other console. t.MaxFPS 60 sg.ViewDistanceQuality 3 sg.AntiAliasingQuality 3 sg.ShadowQuality 3 sg.PostProcessQuality 3 sg.TextureQuality 3 sg.EffectsQuality 3 sg.TrueSkyQuality 3 sg.GroundClutterQuality 3 sg.IBLQuality 1 If there only was a way to actually save these settings so next time I launch the game I don't have to type these lines....

I do applaud the family sharing but am indeed disappointed that it wasn't something like a pro-family subscription or something like buying the game for your family members at a reduced price. I do get the feeling the Stadia team tried to convince the game publishers to think outside of their already tiny boxes. Maybe that's one of the reasons family sharing came so late. In the end, I do believe family sharing in the before mentioned way will be a win-win for everyone. Right now I'm not running to the stadia store to buy those extra licenses for each of my family members for games we want to play together. Sorry publishers.....

Nintendo lets you play the same game on a primary switch and your secondary switch. The user on the primary switch can play the game and I can play with my user the same game on the secondary switch. So you have one license and two players. Now this is not something that I would promote but surely it should be possible to have similar functionality where your family members basically can play the game at a reduced license cost. Another example is Spotify family subscription. Each family member can play the same song at the same time there too. Now it kind of sucks if you want to play a multiplayer game you share with your family. You can't play together on each their device and account. Each family member has to buy the full game. Surely a family of 5 doesn't buy the monopoly board game 5 times for the full price. Surely people will reply that it is all workarounds and not comparable but think about it from a publicity and marketing perspective. The way things now are okay but it doesn't make me run to stadia shop to buy full licenses to all the games I want to play together with my family members. Also "You couldn't do that on any other platform".... Honestly..... If companies are all going to do what others do there isn't much progress. If Stadia wants to get or stay ahead in the gaming streaming market you cannot sit there and copy what others do. You should have other companies wanting to copy your ideas.

Family sharing is now here but it is not what I had hoped for. It is nice for single player games but you should understand that families like to play multiplayer games together. Now players cannot play the same game at the same time. Why not have a family pro plan where you are able to play games together as a family. Pricing can vary according to the number of users in a family. Off course the total amount a few percentages lower than the number of pro subscriptions.

I have to agree with you. I hope it is coming with Stadia's birthday. There is some code already in the Stadia phone apps showing support for a family subscription where you can buy a game once and share it with family members. I bet what is taking so long is not only the Stadia Team's general slowness and horrible timing marketing-wise, but also game studios being arrogant with their licensing stuff. But the Stadia Team once said it would come in 2020, let's hope they can make it true. I'm also beginning to worry that Stadia is heading in a dubious direction seeing the lack of reaction to the console launches and a new Chromecast without Stadia and ethernet connection. There's something seriously wrong in Google land if you ask me.

The people complaining here do hopefully realize they are playing an early access version? The game is literally full of tons of glitches and bugs and is far from ready. Enjoy what you get and give the devs feedback on what is available now the more helpful you are the bigger the chance those that paid for the game will get a load of goodies including a game adapted to the majority's wishes.

Some people should just think before they tweet. Where's the logic? A streamer buys a license for a game and streams him/herself playing the game on YouTube. Is the free advertisement the streamer makes for the game dev/publisher, not extra payment enough? Streamers do a much better job of showing what a game is about than the lousy over the top trailers game studios create. If one thing the game devs should give these streamers their games for free so they can get it showcased and promoted for free as well. And if you still live in the greed-filled corporate mindset you as a game dev should actually pay the streamer for advertising your games. And instead of being difficult with streamers using music. YouTube has these amazing algorithms that 'always correctly' identify music. Put the name of the song as an overlay on the video with a link to where to buy the music. Artists should be happy at least some people find their music decent enough to put in a video.

The new Chromecast doesn't even have Ethernet if I understand it correctly. Would be nice to have the most stable internet connection available when gaming. Wonder if the people who made the new Chromecast were ever aware about the existence of Stadia. Probably they found out a week before launch.

I'm noticing quite some confusion when it comes to all the different bundles being provided for games. The latest F1 2020 is a good example of where things go wrong. Codemasters only seems to have published two editions of the game. Non of them named a base or standard edition. This confusion starts then in the stadia store as the store makes it look like these editions are bundles consisting of a base game and add on content with the edition name. This makes people think there is a base game that can be bought without the add on content. But when we click on the base game we get to the store page of the base game but cannot buy it. The only hint we have is that the price of one of the editions is a normal price for an AAA-title. That might suggest that one of the bundles is the standard edition even if the name nor the description says it is the standard package. Could it be possible to mark more clearly what a base game is and a standard edition bundle is? A base game should not be shown as a bundle with add-on content and should be purchable. For example. If the F1 2020 70-edition indeed is the standard edition I don't want to see it displayed as a bundle consisting of a base game with a 70-edition add-on package. I just want to see it as one game. The F1 Schumacher edition should then be displayed as consisting of the base game named 70-edition with the Schumacher add-on package. The same thing is shown with Doom btw. But luckily here the name of the bundle says standard edition. Which indicates at least that you're paying a standard base game price but you get some additional content as a bonus. Thanks!

I think you're asking about the possibilities to have an app on the Apple TV so you can play and buy stadia games. Looking at Apples restrictions around streaming third party games, the chances are zero of that ever happening.

You might want to turn off some of the location services on your Mac as described here. https://community.stadia.com/t5/Getting-Started-With-Stadia/Troubleshooting-wifi-latency-in-MacOS/td... That helped for me. In general it seems that most 'stuttering' and lag issues are caused by things outside of Chrome. More often than not by the OS itself doing a bit too much networking. There is a reason preferred stadia play is with Chromecast and the Stadia controller.

Having the same issue on a Mac. Funny enough I don't use headphones but the moment I open Stadia in the Chrome Browser it says headphones are connected. I pinned the problem down to being purely a problem in the Stadia app/website. When I open a browser window and play a youtube video I get a clean sound. The moment I open a new browser window and load Stadia I get the cracking / static sound from the youtube video playing. Closing the browser window with the Stadia webpage turns the sound back to normal and clean again.
