Arcade Paradise is so great. I already have it on Switch and XSX and look forward to more people trying it out on Stadia Pro.

I have to agree with the other replies here. As long as your OS and Chrome/web browser are up to date, you should have no problem running Stadia. The specs you listed sound perfectly capable. I've been able to run Stadia on a potato Chromebook so that MacBook should be plenty powerful.
Yeah, I have to assume it's because of the refund period. They don't want people buying a game, then they send out the code and people refund the game after redeeming the code for the promotion. Just... See more...
Yeah, I have to assume it's because of the refund period. They don't want people buying a game, then they send out the code and people refund the game after redeeming the code for the promotion. Just be patient. It'll be here soon.

Is anyone else unable to buy Far Cry 6 credits from the in-game store? I get an error whenever I click on the Far Cry Credits tab. "An error occurred while attempting to display offer(s). Please try again later." It's been that way since launch day.
I'm currently playing a lot of Young Souls, but for the "I just want to play something" times, I go with Madden, F1, or It Came From Space and Ate Our Brains.
Yes, it does. I hear that HDR is better on the Google TV too, but I don't have an HDR TV so I'm not sure.

My preferred method is my Chromecast with Google TV. Oh, to answer your question @BigPete7978 the Stadia interface is much smoother, scrolls faster, barely any time to load in game thumbnails. Game performance is identical for me. Second would be Chrome on my laptop. Third would be my iPhone with the Backbone. Fourth is my Note10+ with the Claw grip. Hopefully in December or January I'll be able to add Steam Deck to this list of choices.

I just ran an entire race in F1 2020 on Canary with no issues whatsoever. Thank you for pointing me in that direction. It doesn't solve the issue with the stable channel of Chrome for me, but it's saved my sanity.  Also, to your previous questions, I don't have any extra scanning software. I have debloated this as much as possible and monitor background services as much as possible.  For SnGs I went back, stopped Windows from forcing the GTX 1660 with Chrome and tried Stadia again. F1 2020, the race ran identical Canary, no issues. So who knows. Consider it solved... for now. Thank you for your help!

I was able to minimize or eliminate the issue by forcing Windows to use only the GTX 1660 for Chrome and ignore the integrated graphics. It doesn't make much sense to me to have to throw that much horsepower at it when it runs fine on a Core i3 Chromebook. Plus it's a new issue, so it has to be something that's changed.

Hi James, Thank you for the reply. Stadia runs perfectly on my Chromecast Ultra. I don’t have any other Windows devices to test Chrome on. I am wired in on my laptop to the router. Using the Google speedtest for Project Stream I was getting 500 down. I was running the Luna app for Windows. Stadia runs well on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I don’t notice the same issues. Thank you, Travis 
I tried Forza 7 on xCloud tonight and it was even worse. It wasn't so much a stutter as it was a pulsing. 
I'm just looking to see if anyone else has experienced this recently. As a note, I'm running an MSI gaming laptop, i7-9750H, GTX 1660 Ti, 16GB RAM, wired AT&T gigabit connection testing at 700-800 up... See more...
I'm just looking to see if anyone else has experienced this recently. As a note, I'm running an MSI gaming laptop, i7-9750H, GTX 1660 Ti, 16GB RAM, wired AT&T gigabit connection testing at 700-800 up and down at the time. No other programs or tabs open. No extensions installed. Only essential programs running in the background. So, honestly, there should be nothing system-wise causing this.  This weekend I was playing the Olympics game on Stadia. I noticed in the baseball game when I was batting, the pitcher would throw the ball, I'd concentrate on it, then it disappeared and I got a strike. Not every time, but WAY too often. I called Sega every name in the book and said, "Let me try F1 2020 just to prove it's not Stadia. It always runs perfectly." Same thing. Hit the brakes, take a corner, the most minor hiccup, and I'm off the track from overcorrection. Upset, I fired up Dirt 5 on Amazon Luna in Chrome. Same thing. Just these microstutters that drove me nuts. I downloaded the Luna app for Windows and tried Dirt 5 again. Perfectly smooth. No issues. I went back and tried F1 2020 in Edge (Chromium). Same stutters. Then I tried F1 2020 on CCwGTV - perfectly smooth. I tried turning off hardware acceleration in Chrome, flushed all temporary files, reboot. Still the stuttering. Turned hardware acceleration back on. Same thing. As far as I can remember, this is a new thing. I don't remember it happening before. I'm not sure if something changed in Chromium causing this issue since it happens on both Chrome and Edge. I'm just stumped. I'll try again tonight and see if it's the same. 
Maybe I'm just drawing a blank here, but those feel like the ONLY AAA games that have been released in 2021 so far on all plaftorms, save for other platform exclusives. It's been a slow year.

I'm personally only interested if I can import my online character from XBOX and cross-play is part of the deal. That's up to Rockstar, though, so I doubt it. It would be nice, but, if it happens, I think it'll be next year when GTA Online become a standalone game.

Come on. You act like the Stadia team is sitting in their office, staring at their phone waiting for devs to call them. I'm sure they're in contact with all the big publishers urging them to bring their games to Stadia. And I'm sure they've written some big checks to get some of them going. Are they going to put out a Community post every time they have a conversation? They can't post about ongoing negotiations. When they have solid news, they post it or the developer posts it. They're starting a platform from scratch. It's a chicken/egg problem. Games come quickest to platforms with large user bases and large user bases are on platforms with a lot of games. Google is doing what they can to make it attractive to users and publishers to be involved with Stadia. In the end, it's up to publishers to bring their games and I hope they do because it's better for all of us. 
If I'm being honest, they already give us so much, I don't know how they could do more. Yes, they're Google and they have deep pockets, but I've paid $40 for 10 months of Pro. That's 36 games for $40... See more...
If I'm being honest, they already give us so much, I don't know how they could do more. Yes, they're Google and they have deep pockets, but I've paid $40 for 10 months of Pro. That's 36 games for $40 (there may have been Pro games that I bought before they went Pro, so that number could be higher). Maybe they'll do something like an extra Pro game or another coupon, but I'm satisfied with what I have and just want them to keep improving things slowly but surely like they are now. Luna and xCloud will help push them along.

I'm with you here. The value is great. Between Pro games and discounts, I've saved $1,500 on the 62 games in my library. And performance is definitely better than xCloud. I've tried to play some games on my Note10+ and it's just not up to Stadia's performance. I have gigabit internet and sit 10 feet from my router, but playing Forza Horizon 4 was not great. Whether that's Wi-Fi or Bluetooth-related, I'm not sure. I think it'll improve as we get further along, but right now Stadia is top of line. Like you said, if the service isn't doing it for someone, they can leave Pro and come back when the games they want are available. Until then, they can still play, for free, any games they've purchased.

If you haven't played it for very long, I think it's 2 hours, you can request a refund through the app on your phone. Seeing as it's been a couple weeks, I'm not sure. You can still request it. The worst they can do is deny the refund. It happens to all of us, though. I've bought a few games at full price only for them to get discounted or be Pro games the next month.

Google hasn't implemented Family Sharing for Stadia games yet. It's available for Android. That's what you may be thinking of. I think with the announcement of Amazon Luna and being able to play one two devices at one time, it may help nudge Google along in getting Family Sharing for Stadia. 
I'm always afraid to buy games around this time of the month. I'm hoping for Windbound. I'd like to play that after the Adventure Mode patch comes.
