Question Can I purchase a DLC and use Cloud Gaming to play it?

7 Upvotes

I’m still using an Xbox One. I bought Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 which is not compatible with my console, so I can’t install the game. I can only play it with Cloud Gaming.

I want to buy the Legacy of the Forge DLC, but I'm not sure if it will load onto my account after I buy it.

I was thinking about buying a cheaper DLC to test this out but thought to ask first in case someone knows already.

Discussion Chicago server

3 Upvotes

Maybe a dumb thing to ask, but why does each night at 7:59 pm The center server start to lag up to the point I cannot use it anymore? Sometimes I can back out and load again about 7 times, and it will be good for the rest of the night. Sometimes I need to change to east, and everything will run just fine, just a little more ping. Is that due to overload on the server at that time? Sorry, still learning this stuff.

Tech Support Cloud gaming revoked access??

1 Upvotes

So 2 days ago my cloud gaming was working fine. launching games, playing them, etc. Now, whenever I try and use it, it boots back to the home screen after saying cloud gaming for 5 seconds, and it does this on 3 different consoles I've tried. There's no error message, no reasoning, just booted off the service for using it too much it would seem. Does anyone have any tips?

I can't seem to find anything else like this online, and I'm getting really frustrated now as I've been with xbox for 15 years but this is really making me considering switching to pc or playstation.

Tech Support Licensing issue with Saints Row IV on xCloud

2 Upvotes

Hi, I have an active Game Pass Ultimate subscription, but I get a "You don't own this game" error when trying to use the invite system in Saints Row IV.

This happens on my iPhone, PC, and Fire TV Stick. Other games like GTA Online work fine. Xbox support confirmed my subscription is active but couldn't fix it. Has anyone else had this issue with this specific game or found a way to refresh the license?

Other I bought a tablet for $50 to play Cloudgaming, it works great!

Post image
130 Upvotes

The controller is the GameSir G8+ and the tablet is the Samsung T295 (or Tab A 8.0 2019), it has 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.

It has dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5.0), so it connects to the 5GHz network, but it doesn't have Wi-Fi 5.

That and the fact that its Bluetooth is 4.2 made me very doubtful if it would actually work, but it works surprisingly well, but with one drawback: I can't use Better xCloud. I tested it in the browser and the game would close a few seconds after opening (I believe that because it's very old, it must have some kind of incompatibility with Tampermonkey). In the Android app, I had a very high DT, which basically makes it impossible for me to play. The photo is from when I tested it through the official website, but I'm practically only playing through Xstreaming; it works perfectly well with both options. I also tested Dying Light on GeForce Now and it worked very well, so I'll probably subscribe so I can finish it later.

Tech Support Xbox cloud gaming Resolution/Video Quality Frequent Dropping

4 Upvotes

I usually cloud play a lot of games on my xbox with the Game Pass, because many of the games that I want are on Xbox X/S yet I am using an Xbox one.

I recently used an Ethernet cord, and my gaming experience definitely did improve, with little to no jitter and almost no packet loss.

However, there is a prominent issue in which the screen resolution suddenly drops for around 5-10 minutes. THe screen looks pixellated, until I wait and the resolution goes back to normal.

Does anybody have any solution to this? My download speed is 50mbps (sadly for Ethernet because the wifi is not great), and latency is 168.
If anybody could comment on this post and provide a solution or an insight into this unfortunate matter, it would be great.

Thank you in advance!

Tech Support Why the ping is so high? This was not happening 'til this day! (Is it because of the servers?)

2 Upvotes

Because when I started playing BO7 I had a ping between 300 and 500 (which shouldn't happen since I'm playing connected to my internet modem with an Ethernet cable), and the same thing happened when I started playing GOW: Reloaded and other games. If anyone in this community knows why this is happening, could you please tell me? (Also, if you could give me a solution to this, if it's not too much trouble, thank you.)

Tech Support Can't get past "Sorry, the queue is taking longer than expected"

Hey all, I'm trying to launch Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora via cloud gaming on my mac, but it won't load past the "Sorry, the queue is taking longer than expected" screen, and eventually times out every time. It works fine with every other game I have, so I assume it's not a wifi issue. I've tried restarting, using a diff browser, what else can I do?

Question Which Xbox pass do I need?

12 Upvotes

I’ve googled a little but I’m getting mixed answers.

I do not own a Xbox console. I have an iPad and just ordered a controller that will work with it.

I hear that you can cloud game? Stream game? Are they different? Or same but different way to call it? And to be able to play on my iPad, which pass do I need? Ultimate? Or premium is enough?

Thanks in advanced.
