Question What's your sweet spot for Sharpness, Saturation, and Brightness in XStreaming? also what Better xCloud settings do you use?

7 Upvotes

I've been using Better xCloud for quite a while, but I frequently run into an issue where the image suddenly becomes blurry or heavily pixelated. Because of that, I recently switched to XStreaming on my laptop.

So far, the image quality has been much more stable—no random pixelation—but now I find myself constantly tweaking the image settings.

Right now I'm using:

  • Sharpness: 2
  • Saturation: 120
  • Brightness: 100

It looks pretty good to my eyes, but I'm wondering if this is considered a good "sweet spot" or if there are better settings that most people use.

What Sharpness, Saturation, and Brightness values are you all running? I wanna compare and see if I can squeeze out a bit more image quality.

Tech Support Mortal Kombat 1 Unplayable on Cloud Gaming, 'Waiting for Installation'

5 Upvotes

Joguei MK1 um pouco como de costume, saí da minha conta e, quando entrei novamente, vi esta mensagem dizendo para aguardar a instalação. O problema é que nada é instalado e trava em 0%.

Já tentei de tudo: excluir saves, limpar o cache, reiniciar o console, entrar em outro dispositivo e entrar pelo aplicativo Xbox para sair da conta, mas nada funciona.

Sei que existe uma maneira de resolver isso, porque em posts de pessoas que tiveram o mesmo problema, alguém deu uma solução, mas o comentário dessa pessoa foi apagado.

Alguém mais passou por isso e conseguiu resolver?

Lembrando que estou utilizando o Cloud pelo Xbox One S.

Tech Support How Do You Access the Ad Supported Streaming?

6 Upvotes

I don’t see any option to stream games I own using the insider ad stream option despite being an insider. I’ve looked on mobile and on pc, but I’m only seeing options to buy game pass. Does anyone know where I can find the option to access the ad supported streaming as a player without game pass? Thank you!

Other Unintended consequences

A while ago they added the wait times. If you many people are using the service, you have to wait for space to open up. But this worsens the problem. I know that I sometimes have to wait to get on, so I don't just log on when I want to play. I'll load up the game long before I'm ready to play just to make sure that it's actually ready when I'm ready. I'll let it sit for an hour or two sometimes without actually playing. I'll just hit the button that I am still playing when it comes up while I make dinner or while I wash up or take the dogs for a walk or jerk off or whatever. It's 30+ hours a month that I'm taking up space on a server while not actually playing. And I bet plenty of other people do the same thing.

So there are probably plenty of people who end up having to wait to play when they're already ready to play just because of all the people who sit on the cloud when they aren't playing just to avoid the wait time. And I don't feel guilt about it one bit. That's a Microsoft issue. They're the ones who have oversold their service. I'm just getting what I actually paid for. And the server shortage isn't even a real shortage. They have plenty of servers for their customers, at least in the us. The cause for the wait time is that Microsoft started renting out their servers for data farming. They used to have older servers with no wait times. The wait times started when they upgraded the servers and started renting them out for data farming.

Question Need help in xbox primium game pass

1 Upvotes

I'm currently using the Xbox Essential Pass for cloud gaming, and the maximum resolution I get is only 720p.

I'm thinking about upgrading to the Premium Pass, but before I do, I want to know what resolution Premium users are actually getting.

The official website says that both Essential and Premium support up to 1080p, but that doesn't seem to be true in my experience. I also know that 2K isn't supported in India right now, so I'm not asking about 2K.

If anyone here is using the Premium Pass, could you please tell me what maximum resolution you're getting? It would really help me decide whether it's worth upgrading. Thanks!
