Waiting for GR Break Point to drop

Sparky — Wed, 18 Dec 2019 15:48:55 GMT

So what times does Google release their games? I wanted to pick up Ghost Recon Break Point, but I see it's not out on the store yet.

@sambartle Hey, relax, You could potentially pick up another game like Gylt. Which I might add is really good. Though, if you don't want to. go do something else until destiny is back up.

Re: OBS streaming issues

@Goodsir Just wanted to let you know that I also use OBS, and I don't know if its my connection, but I was hard wired and I was running it through the Chrome browser and I didn't have any game latency while playing. Though, if you watch the first part of my video, you will see that I get some latency at the beginning, but it clears up after 5 minutes of streaming.

I have streamed two nights in a row, and my experience with OBS and playiing GRID via Stadia have been REALLY good.

Check out the video here. https://mixer.com/JaimeSalas?vod=235992928

Though, you may want to look at your OBS settings and tweak them a bit.

Re: I accidentally redeemed my code on the wrong account. Is there any way to fix this?

I would assume you would have to call Google directly about that.

@Th3W0rst I totally get that, I can empathize with their frustration, but because I am a system administrator myself, I can also understand Google side of it as well. Imagine being inundated with calls, forum post, voice messages. And trying to respond to them all. I'm sure they are seeing all of our posts.

Sharing Some Insight

Sparky — Thu, 21 Nov 2019 19:50:21 GMT

Hello everyone!

I wanted to quickly share some constructive criticism as well as some insight. As I read through this forum, I see a lot of unhappy people writing in the forums. From not having their codes sent to them when they ordered the first day it was announced (I myself was one of them). To people having technical and or latency issues with Stadia as a whole (Again I am one of those people too). I see a lot of people wanting to turn in their FE kits and or just frustrated that they haven't even received their code to even start playing.

Google has decided to take that giant leap into the gaming industry as a whole, but not as a gaming console, but to take the gaming industry in the right direction that so many other companies have tried and have failed. To bring the gaming experience to a cloud based environment. Obvious this wasn't going to be an easy task for them, but if anyone can do it, it's Google.

My point of this is, that we need to give them their time to fix all the little hiccups that everyone is encountering, including myself. There hasn't been one company out there that got into the gaming industry and didn't have any set backs. That's part of being a company getting into the huge gaming industry. If we look back, Microsoft had issues when they came out with the first Xbox. Sony had issues, when they came out with their first iteration of the PlayStation. They all had their flaws and problems with their consoles.

Now we have Google coming out with Stadia, something new, different and innovating. We need to take a step back, give them some breathing room, and let them resolve the issues that we report to them. It is our job as founders to help them improve on their gaming platform. We, as a founding community need to continue to send them the problems that we encounter, and help other founders with problems that we may know the solution to.

With that being said, I ask all of you who are considering to jump ship from Stadia. To give them time to resolve the current issues, and continue to report your findings on any new issue you may come across. This is how Microsoft, Sony and the many other players in the gaming community had made such great gaming products for all of us to enjoy.

This post was meant to inspire and maybe open the eyes of those who are frustrated with Stadia. I too, have my frustration, but I am committed on helping Google Stadia succeed.

Thanks

Re: What will be your first purchase!?

Sparky — Thu, 21 Nov 2019 16:53:23 GMT

@codesplice @Ivan Yea, same here been playing the campaign mode so I can get more money and more cars opened up. Though, I have played some of the multiplayer, and I haven't had one bit of latency issues at all. Whether it be with input latency or game latency. It's been REALLY good. Though I have only raced a few people, since people are still waiting to get their code. Hopefully we will get more people to purchase GRID and we can get a true test. Also I have been able to stream it live through OBS without a hitch. My experience so far with Stadia has been pretty good. I have no complaints.

I just purchased GRID, and having a great time playing it. Add me to your friend list for some head to head multiplayer action! Stadia name: Sparky

Re: Fatal Error

I'm getting that error too now. I don't know if it's just the Chromecast I'm trying to play on. Though, has Google commented yet?

Re: Fatal Error Stadia encountered an error and needs to shut down. Restart Stadia to continue playi

Sparky — Thu, 21 Nov 2019 14:34:09 GMT

I just started to get that error this morning. I was able to play all last night, but now I just purchased Assassin's Creed this morning and to play a bit before work. Anyone talk with them?

Re: What's your general impression and experiences playing on Stadia?

Sparky — Wed, 20 Nov 2019 22:39:53 GMT

Thanks @Nimgimli for the information, I'll try to do that tonight when I get home fro work. I just received word my FE kit has arrived at home so I should be good to go when I get home to try that.

Thanks again!

So I got my access code last night. Though, I am still waiting for the my Stadia Founders kit to come in. (Which it's coming in today.) I decided to fire up Stadia and play a bit through Google Chrome and see how the latency was, since all I have heard all day long that the latency was bad. So, I decided to purchase Gylt and play a bit. To my surprise, Gylt ran flawlessly on Google Chrome, with mouse and keyboard. Camera were movement were very responsive with no lag at all. Input from the keyboard were also lag free from what I can tell. So, in regard to single player games, I had zero to no lag whats so ever. I have to say I was thoroughly impressed how well Gylt ran on a cloud base system.I didn't try Destiny 2 because I don't want to start from scratch so I was trying to figure out how I can play with my current level players on Stadia. If anyone knows how I can transfer my Bungie account to Stadia, that would be most helpful. Today I will do my testing when my controller comes in today, and I'll report back with that. Currently my internet speed is 150 up and 150 down, but coming Friday, I'll be upgrading to 500 up and 500 down. So I am hoping that will be a huge help when it comes to playing multiplayer games. Oh, and my ISP is Frontier, which I have to say I have been really happy with.
