Quoting: EhvisThe Golden Week Sale has a VR section, but it doesn't actually have any VR titles. Strangeness.

Maybe it's one of these sales periods where titles are gradually added in small bunches.

It had a whole bunch of non-VR titles, so probably something different.

Quoting: EikeIs having huge black borders unusually well support? :)
(Though I wouldn't know how they could do it better, given their checkerboard setup.)

See Ehvis' comment earlier in the thread - there's no corruption, menus and backgrounds fill out correctly.

I honestly wonder if that's that hard to do. I understand many indies won't have such a monitor to test, but just making everything black that I don't fill with content shouldn't be a hard task...

You don't really need monitors. Just enable window resizing and make sure the game adapts. It really isn't that hard.

As for filling the black sides. Not sure about that. What with? You could move the gui bits, but that only makes things worse. And I certainly don't need some unnecessary distraction graphics there. Zooming the game area is also not beneficial. So there's really not much left. I'm plenty happy with it behaving the way it does. I don't need my borders filled by artificial means.

Does that mean that remove the ability to play entirely? For the free game it's fine, but for the paid game the latter should not be allowed without consequences. For now it looks like they only removed Linux from the free game though. Also, the "not practical" reason seems a bit silly if they keep on supporting mac.

Quoting: MohandevirJust a vague idea.. Could be nice if someone was able to create a Stadia dedicated app that uses Chromium in kiosk mode with all the tweaks... But I'm probably talking through my hat.

Already happened as an electron app. However, electron does not support extensions, which means no Stadia+.

I just had a quick look through the repos and I found this [External Link]. Nice to see DXR translation being work on.

Quoting: GuestWhen Google introduces a option to Download the games not just streaming i might consider using it.

Not sure how this would work. Since they have and use Linux builds, the option to download the game would mean nothing to the vast majority of their users. And even for us, those exact Linux builds might not work at all.

i think he is afraid of cloud lock-in, so even an windows build is better than nothing

So basically if Valve implements streaming for your Steam library, you'd have what you want. The ability to install locally for the best quality and offline play and the ability to stream when you want to. Alternatively Google could start an online store with regular builds as an added option. I think the first one is probably more likely.

Quoting: RafiLinuxWhat is required to get up and running with Stadia for this? I do not own credit cards and I don't put my payment information online. Can I sign up with a gift card that some $ on it?

Nothing actually. I never gave any payment information and have never given any to Google in the past either.

Gave stadia a quick check yesterday. Still a completely subpar experience for me, so I'm not even interested in trying the free stuff any more.

Edit: I find it somewhat amusing that so many UE4 games are making it to Stadia. Even though we know that the Vulkan (and all other non-DX11 renderers) are not exactly great performers. If Stadia would become bigger, they (whoever "they" may be) might actually be inclined to change that.

Takes a bit of practice. Ordering the robot around is a multi-tasking task I'm not quite used to. I just had it chop or mine while doing everything else myself because I forgot about it. Left me with a lot of space and a less than impressive score. :D
