I'm playing this through the browser at the minute. The connection info states excellent and 4k, yet the image looks very soft.

any ideas?

Grab the Stadia+ Chrome extensions and force VP9 codec

It's Google, of course there is a search option....

Just kidding, it's not there, and only last week did one appear in the desktop website. Silly really.

Terrible.

How do I find the demo version of fenix rising?

Thanks, I did look at the plugin but the homepage said it had stopped working.

The gpu info of the browser said VP9 was supported.

Google had a major outage. Youtube, Gmail, Drive and Stadia were/are all effected. Maybe too many people playing on Stadia?

What speed internet is everyone on?

I've got sky syncing at 68mb and on a cat6 connection. It's not brilliant.

Likewise and I have noticed a drop off recently. Not lagging but the quality has dropped. Mainly on AC Valhalla in my case.

The only thing I can think of is the demand on the server. Not acceptable at all really, considering its Google.

There were lots of reports of dropped quality the first 24 hours of Cyberpunk

 

[glenimp617]

Cyberpunk looks like 720p for me lol

250 FTTH from BT-no issues whatsoever.

What are you playing on?

 

[glenimp617]

What are you playing on?

The chrome browser whilst my chromecast arrives. It does say it's 4K lol (it really isn't)

That god awful new one I bought recently doesn't officially support stadia.....nor does it come with the RJ45 connector I might sell it, it's complete garbage.

That said, I quite enjoy using the keyboard and mouse.

.

And you're playing on a 4K monitor?

Yeah

Couple of things to note for new comers. You only need 10-12Mbps to get a good Stadia experience, but it has to be a good connection without any ISP interference, congestion at the exchange or a family member leeching all the bandwidth. Next up (ironically) Google Chrome is terrible to play Stadia on, you are never going to get the same quality picture at a desktop as you will get on a Chromecast Ultra. However (again ironically) the Microsoft Edge browser gives the best experience on a PC.

Ubisoft+ finally launched in to beta on Stadia today.

But sadly it's US-only for now.

Support for the new Chromecast is coming during the first half of next year.
