Re: Poor Stadia experience all-round / help?

@codesplice Thank you for your response. It's much appreciated.

It's sad to hear that 1440p is no longer supported. I wasn't able to find that info before I went into my Pro trial period, so I'm glad you were able to clarify that for me.

My phone problem has indeed been resolved by resetting the stadia app. Oddly enough it wouldn't connect my controller when I tried it with a cable the other day. I wasn't anywhere with a wifi connection, so I couldn't try playing wirelessly at that time. Unsure if I still need to change anything in my settings for that to work? Same goes for my Ipad Pro by the way. It would run Cyberpunk beautifully, but when I try to connect the controller with a wire it won't register it.

Over on the computer end, my controller will show a blinking white light, Ill put in the code displayed in my browser and the controller will then buzz twice and shut itself off circa 4 seconds after buzzing. My browser won't show the green animation to indicate a connection was made.

Thanks again for the help so far.

Poor Stadia experience all-round / help?

I'm kind of unsure where to post this but just wanted to put it out there anyway. I'm half hoping for a fix and half giving up really.

I've bought Cyberpunk and got the Stadia Premiere edition included, all was well, but not for long. I'm not even going to start about the issues on that game, but I will mention this: I went ahead and tried the pro subscription because MAN did the performance mode look horrid. I was hoping the Pro would properly up my resolution, but it didn't. I should probably mention I'm playing on PC because I don't have a 4K tv. I do however have a 1440p monitor so that's why I tried out the Stadia pro service.

I've tried many solutions found on this forum (inputting a command line before the game starts, running the stadia enhanced plugin, incognito mode obviously) but it would never detect my screen to be a 1440p display. My connection is terrific, 500mbit fiber glass, that's not it.

So, that there is issue number 1.

Number 2: Cyberpunk will only show a black screen on my mobile phone. I try playing it through the app and it just won't do anything else but show a black screen after I click play.

Number 3: the stadia controller. What a major letdown. To be honest, I got this ENTIRE package because of that controller. I was excited to be able to use it on both my phone and pc. However, it actually won't do anything I want it to. It refused to update at first. Managed to work around that by connecting through my phone's wifi hotspot, I read about that fix on this forum (who could come up with that?).
After solving that though it won't connect to my pc (yes it's on the same internet connection).
I've tried all of the steps on this thread: https://community.stadia.com/t5/The-Stadia-Controller/Stadia-Controller-Won-t-Link-with-Chrome-Browser-Help/m-p/34834#M1578 - to no avail. So I guess I'll have to just use it wired on my pc? Quite the letdown. It will connect wirelessly to my phone though (Samsung Note 10+), but over there, as mentioned before, Cyberpunk won't start.

I guess if anyone has any great ideas I would like to still try them, but at the same time, I've spent more time troubleshooting than I did playing. I even quit playing Cyberpunk altogether because of the horrible quality, I mean on visual mode it really dips the framerate down and it STILL won't look great. I'm a bit baffled by the many positive reviews about Stadia on the internet because my experience has been a nightmare.

Even a year after all of you posted this the issue still exists.
I just wanted to say thank you for providing a fix. I was able to solve my Stadia controller not updating by setting up a Mobile Hotspot with my phone and updating it through that.
Would never have come up with that workaround myself so I came here to say thanks @villagebicycle .
