1. On Chrome, you need to enable pointer lock
Chrome://flags
Enable pointer lock options
2. Connect any controller though Bluetooth. I used my ps4 . Press middle circle button and share button to reset Bluetooth connections
3. Screen cast your phone to tv through stadia web page..
Stadia app is well done but you need to acquire their controller In order to play on tv without the hacking above
But I haven't tried totally remove the Adblock
It is stuck at testing connection then kick me out
Right now, I get 330 up and down on my Telus 300 on 5 ghz. 2.4 isn't so nice and varies wildly (most of my Wifi devices like lights and such use 2.4). When I use the Telus provided router/modem, it will automatically jump between the 2.4 and 5 ghz. I have certain games on my phone that are all but unplayable on 2.4 even if I'm a foot from the Telus box. They work fine on 5 though Telus has weird algorithms so I can never be sure which they're deciding for me to use.
Also max speed is nowhere near as important to gaming as ping and packet loss. 4K only uses 25 mbps max. Even running multiple devices won't usually push a 75 mbps plans threshold and most apps such as Netflix and YouTube use that amount to also cache your video so if there are drops you won't see them. When you're gaming, ping (the time between your device and the server you're connected to is WAY more important than max speed). A crappy router or connection is most often having to resend packets and such to make up for the bad data which slows down your speed.
If you think about it in terms of a car. Max throughput (say 600 mbps in your case) is your car's max speed. Sure it can get there but when gaming is concerned, how fast it ramps up (ping) from 0 to 60 is much more important and micro stalls (which might not be noticed when your pedal is floored) can really affect you in the lower gears. Having a high top throughput is awesome for big downloads but does zero for most websites and game lag. With a proper router you can also set up QOS and stuff to give your gaming rigs a higher priority. It's also why dedicated gamers always plug in an ethernet cord rather than using Wifi. A cord gives you the lowest pings and usually a more solid connection.
Shaw and Telus modem/routers are definitely better than they were a few years ago however every time I hear of people having internet issues, it's almost always the fact they aren't using a dedicated router. Also note, the router/modems Shaw uses on their lower tiers aren't anywhere as good as say, someone on their 600 mbps plans. If it's working great for you then awesome. However for the guy I replied to, it's likely that's his problem.
I press play, game tries to load. then it leaves.
need some heavy hitters not indies most people can run locally
I do noticed a touch of lag in Destiny when sniping as compared to PS4 though, a little bit with hand cannon too. After playing for 20 minutes or so I guess your brain compensates though as it stops being noticable and you just get on with playing.
Playing in 60fps is real nice, I see why Destiny has a decent amount of PC players now.
Anyway not going to point to all the reviews that have panned the service and pointed out the shortcomings and failures of it, people here seem to like it lol so if it works for them that's great I guess. I still don't think these services are all that viable but in the next 5 years or so, they might be much better. Having to buy games (I mean aside from the free stuff they give you) and paying a subscription...I just don't get that. Should just be a subscription and access anything they have but that's just my thinking. I get that you don't have to have gaming hardware to run anything so that's what your subscription pays for (and you can also go w/o subscription but pretty sure that's even worse) but still this never appealed to me, even without watching/reading reviews (some of which are rather funny).
Going to try using xbox controllers.
Load times are AMAZING. On the Xbox, i could read and reply work emails in between loads, on stadia it was instant on, instant play . Graphics on 1080p is perfect! It looked great.
A little disappointed it didn't run on my chromebook though, thought it was purely browser based.
Case in point, my mother has 75/10 and I can't have a decent video chat with her on any system. She's using the newest Shaw modem/router and has to reset it on a regular basis. When she had an old crappy router it was always perfect but it overheated and died and I haven't been able to get there to set up something new.
My sister on the other hand, has 6 mbps at her cabin and video calls are clear as day. Good modem and good router.
4k video (Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube) streams at approx 12 - 18 mbps (Stadia at 4k, 60 fps and 5.1 is 35 mbps max according to their site) and doesn't require much upstream. 1080p even less so a single YouTube stream (provided not on the same device as you're playing on) shouldn't severely hurt your connection.
Also make sure you have no background updates running behind the scene (Windows or Android or apps updates) and then I would try again. I would also use this Speedtest by Google. It will give you a closer idea of the connection to Googles servers.
On top of that there are dozens of tweaks you can do to your system from running game optimizer apps right before you play to giving your device QOS rights on your router. QOS helps prioritize devices and streams so that certain things like large downloads don't steal the thunder from time sensitive things like fast paced games. Here's an article talking a bit about that.
If you do a search online you'll find thousands of articles talking about reducing lag and speeding up your gaming system. If you still don't believe your 75/10 is cutting it then I would hard wire (ethernet) a computer directly to your modem, disable next to everything on that system, ensure WiFi is disabled so its the only thing on there and run some tests. If it's still crap then might be worth a call to your internet provider and see if something can be done to fix it on their end. Could be a bad connection, faulty modem or something else.
If everything is running fine then I would re-enable WiFi, get someone to stream a video on another device and test it all again. If everything is still fine then I would start adding more devices and re-enabling everything on that computer. If you have a lot of devices on your network like video cameras, wifi lights, Google Homes or Alexa Echos, then it is quite possible that 75/10 just isn't enough bandwidth and you need to either shut some things down or pony up for faster internet.
Good luck!
It’s your ping thats the issue. If you can play with a wired connection it should fly, over 5ghz wifi would be second best and 2.4ghz last, also closer to the connection if possible.
As an example my wired pc pulls full 120mb and has 9ms ping, but my ipad on 5ghz about 20ft from the router pulls 7mb with 60ms ping. Two very different environments to stream a game on as my button presses take almost 7 times longer to hit their servers on the ipad scenario and I guess I would only get 480p picture in that case.
I’ve been trying Destiny and graphically its better than my PS4 Pro I’d say as it runs 60fps on Stadia. It was also super convenient going to grab stuff from Xur on the weekend using the pc when my gf was at the tv at the time watching some utter drivel.
Multi device play anywhere and a step up in quality from consoles seems to be the selling point to me, but they need more games the library is a bit too small for me to subscribe atm, but the free tier I’d use.
Bluetooth is built into the controller, but they haven't yet turned that feature on. It's likely that this is a "someday" thing you'll be able to do.
I'm going to give this a go, but going to try it out before investing in a Stadia controller. I don't want to buy a $89 paper weight.
Could the Stadia controller be used elsewhere as a generic Bluetooth controller? For the Switch, Android...etc
Granted, I'm on a 150mbit fibre connection with a decent 5ghz router, but I've had very few hiccups in the 10+ hours I've been playing. I'm actually amazed how smoothly it runs and how responsive the controls are. I'm a convert and will probably pay for Pro once my trial ends.
My only complaint is lack of games. Google needs to get more AAA titles, but I recognize the platform is only a few months old and this will take time.
If any of you are experiencing huge lag make 100% certain you're on 5ghz and, regardless of which provider you're on, do yourself a favour and buy a proper WiFi router. Shaw, Telus, Roger's, etc.. it doesn't matter, their built in modem routers will hurt your gaming sessions and can even make a wired ethernet connection seem like crap at times.
If you doubt me, just call in to their techs and they'll tell you the same thing. Doesn't matter if you have 500 mbps up and down, a crap connection will waste that beautiful bandwidth.
