@henrylearn2rock @GoogleStadia It seems like they always force-push you to the app based on user-agent sniffing. Sorry… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@fernap3 @excalidraw Have you tried it? Did you notice the careful UI considerations for the notch phones? The advanced features are progressive enhancements and we _do_ want browser vendors—including Apple—to support more features, but we don’t wan

@nhoizey @firt @GoogleStadia This can bite actually. Android Chrome suggested to install the PWA, but the PWA is useless on Android due to its UA sniffing. It should `prefer_related_applications`. Bug filed :-)

@nhoizey @firt @GoogleStadia PS4 should work. For gaming, it needs to be network-connected of course, but I agree, a simple offline fallback page wouldn’t have hurt. It’s one of the bugs I have filed internally. https://t.co/HsiWGMwm5U

@nhoizey @firt @GoogleStadia You get best latency with the official Stadia controller, since it connects directly to the cloud and doesn’t go through the device like regular gamepads.

@nhoizey @firt @GoogleStadia At the moment it’s a semi iOS-optimized web app without service worker, but with a web app manifest. Gaming works well, though (limited with touch controls, but well with a controller, which doesn’t have to be the officialpic.twitter.com/ZyNPQ0GB3e

@firt @GoogleStadia Filed a couple of bugs. The splash screen, by the way, is defined, but to a set of solid color images (e.g., https://t.co/teRVV4HD6h).

@henrylearn2rock @GoogleStadia Looks like user-agent sniffing. Are you logged in to your Google account? Do you have a paired controller?

@firt @GoogleStadia I’ll have a look tomorrow on my devices and see how it plays out in a supported country. Thanks for the report already!

via Echofon in reply to firt

@firt @GoogleStadia It only shows that when you’re logged out. Once you log in, you end up on the regular Stadia home screen with your games ready to be played.
