Google Stadia with ESO

Cążki

Hi mates, i wonder how ESO will get 60 fps stream from Stadia to PC's if ESO cant run on 60 fps even on NASA comptuers atm Anyway, this makes me happy if probably in next year i could play ESO on HD monitor and keybord and mouse on random computer What's your opinion ?

Yestarday Google Stadia annouce ESO will be in library. But my qestion is how this will work with ping and latency ?

Google Stadia will be platform which you doesn't need to have a high end computer just low spec with HD monitor and good internet connection needed only and you can run 60 fps games streamed to your computer.

If you are in America the short answer is: it won't.

"Good internet connection" is the key here. You'll need high speed and no data cap, as the load that's taken off your video card goes to the network connection instead. Generally the bandwidth on the NIC is significantly lower than that for the video in any machine, so the old machines will suffer from slow internet, and still be slow. If your ISP limits your total traffic, you may only be able to play one day a month.

I suspect this service only really works if you don't need it. If you have a modern machine that can run on a fast network, it will have a fast video too. You still need enough memory on the video card to support the screen resolution, even if the GPU isn't working so hard, and the slower cards had less VRAM, too.

I really need to see more details before I am sold on this thing, but from what I have seen I am super interested in it and if it works like they say it works it could very well be a console killer. $9.99 a month without having to worry about hardware upgrades and keeping up to date with tech? Sounds pretty freakin awesome to me.

Also if you don't live out in the sticks, in this day and age who DOESN'T have 10mbps+? We're 10x that where I am on the low end of the options.

It won't. And that goes for every game on Google Stadia. At least not the way people think it's going to, and it's because of the reason you listed. Latency.

Oh sure, you'll be able to get those sweet graphics on your potato powered machine hooked up to an HD monitor. You'll be able to see every bit of that sixteen times the detail. Might even be able to see a whole twenty times the detail. But don't expect the same gameplay performance as you'd get running the game on your own high end rig.

The framerate isn't even my biggest concern...it is the latency. You click your keyboard to activate a spell, your computer takes that input and converts it into packets of data. It sends those packets through your nic, router, modem, ISP uplink, into your ISP's router and modem (sort of), then routes it out through other ISP networks aimed at Google's stadia server. Then their hardware gets those packets, sees you click a button on your stadia virtual machine (however they are doing it), clicks the desired spell for you, then the game sends that input to ESO's server in more packets of data, which gets routed through akamai's DDOS protection service first, then reaches ESO's server, then the server says "Ok you successfully cast this spell and deal X damage", then sends a response back to the client confirming the action via another set of packets of data, and routes all the way back to Stadia's servers, then stadia displays the action by sending packets of data from stadia's servers to your machine.

I don't think people realize how long it will take clicking a spell, and finally seeing it cast on their end.

Lol really? People say they have the most robust internet in the world and still lag in ESO .. so it will be twice as bad if you're also streaming the game on top of that ..

It won't take off fully until every gamer in the world is on top of the line internet, so, never ..

No .. it's 9.99 a month but you still have to buy games from there, not every game, but not every game will just be available for 9.99 a month subscription .. lol

From early postings, they say the average latency will be around 166ms even with a good connection since there's a little more back and forth between you and the cloud servers. None of the game will be local, it will all be cloud based so you won't have access to addons.

So since you will have to buy the Stadia ESO version from Google it will be fun buying all the DLC and starting ESO all over again.
