Just wanted to follow up and let everyone know it's working now. I was busy with school and just checked it again last night. Now Stadia works perfect at 1080P60 on the Duet. Also, general performance and latency seem improved, so it's even better now than it was before the bug. I'd like to thank the team that fixed this. I'm sure it was an odd edge case, and I'm so happy the developers were able to push an update to get Stadia working smoothly. Now I don't have to bring two devices on my next trip, thanks.
No problem. I already contacted support but they just told me the typical stuff like disabling extensions.
Okay, thanks. I submitted a feedback report. Hopefully someone will read it and get back to me.

Thanks for responding. Yes, I just tried the guest user and it did not help. Also, last night I reinstalled the whole OS (recovery USB) and that didn't do anything either. The performance is not the issue, as long as I can use hardware H264 everything is smooth at 1080P60, like with Cyberpunk 2077. My problem is that Stadia switches to software decoding H264 while the game is loading and stays that way (and the Duet CPU is not fast enough to handle software decoding at 1080p). It's the worst on Metro, but it also happens on other games like Panzer Dragoon and Submerged. I don't understand why, but Cyberpunk 2077 and GRID always work 100% of the time at hardware H264 and are smooth and perfect. So the Chromebook has enough power.  And I've read lots of good reviews of people using the Lenovo Duet and Stadia, so I assume it must be a recent issue or some sort of bug.

I just got a new Lenovo Chromebook Duet and I'm having problems with Stadia. It does not support VP9, but does have H264 Hardware Decoding. When I play a game on Stadia, it usually starts with the hardware H264 and after a few seconds switches to software H264. When in software mode it is super choppy and laggy and also 720p and low quality. But sometimes randomly it *will* start in hardware mode and everything will be perfect at 1080p 60 fps. Note, it seems to be game dependent. For example, Cyberpunk 2077 and GRID will always use hardware H264 and are always smooth and responsive. I am having the most problems with Metro Exodus, about 90% of the time it is in software mode. Also Panzer Dragoon Remake is about a 50/50 chance. I can see this because I use Stadia Enhanced at it shows me the codec on the overlay. Also, there is no problem with my internet. I get around 250Mbps on a speed test, and my Google TV Chromecast works 100% no problems on the same network. It seems to be something unique to ChromeOS and Stadia, or at least unique to the Lenovo Duet Chromebook. Can anyone help?
