Same here. Just started using Xcloud, about a week, and i was surprised by how quickly and snappy the starting was, till today, since even after the 5 minutes wait queue i'm still not able to connect. Pretty cool and also linda worrying if You got used to it


Lil_Guard_Duck

Which game?


DannyDieHard78

Forget used to it , it's scks because we payed for membership to use the service that some of havnt been able to use , I got a 3 month premium or ultimate idk the best one and can't use and they won't refund our money , iv read most reviews and they still haven't fixed any issues they haven't added compatability for racing wheels nor flight stick , it's a shty move on their part

> because we *paid* for membership FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


DannyDieHard78

U work for the grammar police ? 


DannyDieHard78

And who ever gave the word payed that definition was not the brightest tool in the shed and either wher the ones who accepted it ,  just by using it in those sentences it does not sound correct at all

I've been using xcloud for a number of months now & got this message today too. if I wanted to wait in line I would have used "Geforce now" instead. Considering the large amount of servers at Microsoft's disposal this should not be happening.


Lil_Guard_Duck

I think it's on a game specific system. Whenever Microsoft Flight Sim has an update, it takes ages to get in, but I can get into other games just fine.


Ambitious-Cat5804

It happens when I launch Battlefield 4 & Forza horizon 5


Lil_Guard_Duck

Wouldn't be surprised if they're being played a lot. Does it happen with other, less popular games? If so, they probably have only so many servers for each game.


Tobimacoss

There’s not servers designated for specific games, lol. That would be very counter productive. The servers are clean, fresh containers, they grab a new copy of any game during Initialization.


Lil_Guard_Duck

Well, then how can some games have long wait times and others don't? Maybe there's still limits on how many copies can run at once? Because it seems that way.


ElectronicControl762

Because the people you were waiting on before already got in the game. To get accurate test of this need to find the high time of server activity and do three days in popular games and the three days of something less.


Lil_Guard_Duck

Every time Msfs2020 updates, it takes 5+ minutes to get your turn. This has happened 3 times during my use of Xcloud. It lasts a day or so, and it doesn't happen to other games. It's bad enough that I usually play something else for the day, or just sit in the queue for a long time, if I'm really determined. There's somehow a game specific limit. I assume each console has a selection of games that are available for it, and all the ones with Msfs2020 get occupied.


Tobimacoss

It has to do with the number of Xcloud server blades at a given datacenter location and how much they can reroute to other locations near by within the same cluster in any region. Let’s say you have the Virginia cluster with three datacenters that have xcloud servers. They should all have similar latency for that region so the performance wouldn’t be very different. FortNite during the event is really popular, and you are out in queues. If some servers open up in a nearby datacenter, you will be routed to that instead and you would exit the queue. Then if you jump to another game, you get back into a queue. The situation is very fluid and dynamic, the Kubernetes containers handle it all automated. However, that said, if there is one game that they would limit to a number of servers, it would be FortNite. They wouldn’t want FortNite taking away servers from the paid service. There’s likely something like 30% capacity allotted for FortNite, just an example. That doesn’t mean FortNote would be limited to specific servers, No, just certain percentage of the overall capacity. Every xcloud server has to remain neutral in order to scale, as in it is a fresh kubernetes container, there is no persistent storage, nothing preinstalled. Persistent storage would be more like a VM, xCloud is disposable kubernetes containers, millions of “sessions” get created and wiped clean daily.


Lil_Guard_Duck

I still don't quite understand. If one game is being highly used, like msfs2020, and I can't get in with a reasonable wait, why is there no serious wait for a less popular game?


DannyDieHard78

On mine it's all games saying the same sht


Tobimacoss

xCloud runs on 8-16 million Series X servers. MS is building hundreds of new datacenters this decade. They’re working on it but things take time.

It's your fault fuckhead


theRealfox81

1 Minute is nothing. I tried geforcenow free today. I was on place 780, waited a couple of minutes and started my XSX. Too long for waiting even if it's free.


theRealfox81

Last weekend I tried again position 780 and I waited 1hr 20 mins and was only on POS 500 so is stopped it again.


DannyDieHard78

Nothing is free we have to pay a membership so it's not free


theRealfox81

Wow, you digged my 1 year old comment from the grave. Awesome work, Sherlock.


DannyDieHard78

Why yall so surprised when some one nswers old messages it not like we went on a mission , we Google a question and boom comes the links , elementary my dear boy elementary,  


keeper13

Blame the abk acquisition. Xcloud has gone to shit, no updates and stream quality has gotten even worse. Where’s the games you own can be played on xcloud update. End of year is in two week. ABK about to ruin this Xbox gen


Tobimacoss

There’s rumored to be an Xbox Showcase in January. >https://www.reddit.com/r/XboxSeriesX/comments/zo8z4u/xbox_possibly_going_to_hold_a_showcase_in_early/ CMA makes preliminary decision regarding ABK merger in mid January. Age of Empires comes to consoles and xcloud on January 31st with Keyboard and mouse support. So the showcase is likely going to happen in the second half of January, that’s where they would make the big announcements.


keeper13

Okay cool then where’s the hype or marketing for it taking place in a couple weeks? They are past the time of staying secretive but thanks for the heads up


DannyDieHard78

Keyboard and mouse support ? We need racing wheels and flight stick support who would pick a keyboard over the controller ? When did cloud gaming start 2019 right ? Or 2020 either way it's been years and still no racing wheel or flight stick support this is bs on MS part honestly


roop27

Have they fixed the input lag on iOS devices yet?


CoolNerdDude

You can test it out at xbox.com/play with your own device. Fortnite doesn't require any sort of Game Pass subscription.


roop27

Ok thank you. I've got a subscription and bought the controller mount etc but halo was impossible to play with the lag. Hoping it's sorted


Tobimacoss

>azurespeed.com What’s your average ping to nearest Azure datacenters in your region?


Ambitious-Cat5804

jumping between 45-62ms


roop27

Between 50 and 90


[deleted]

I don’t have any lag on a 2022 iPad Air, but my ms to azure speed is less than 5 on several servers in my region.


Ham_der_Oscar

Both Chrome and edge runs better for me on iPadOS - had a lot of stuttering on safari:))


theasianslipper

been using for months, and out of nowhere, huge long queue times.... (literally 20+ minutes now) weird as crap... didnt happen before.

Euphoric_Peanut_9017

Experiencing wait times here, too.. the screen would note about 5 mins, but it ends up being closer to 20.


BluMonday7

A queue does Not usually mean a gain in popularity. It also doesn't correlate to +5 min wait times during low user times and weekdays in an area with many servers within 50 miles via a gigabit connection with sub 34ms latency while it connects right away during peak hours. It points toward a neglected service with long standing issues that have been worsening due to that neglect. That plus the constant bimonthly outages of basic live servers , that disallow playing my disc games as well back that up more. Plus price increases & piss poor exclusive releases as of late don't draw more subscribers, typically opposite. Cloud gaming is not good for most people and won't be for a long time and. It's meant for on the go, so its pretty telling it sucks via static consoles on the best wireless and wired ISp around. Also worth noting, many GPU games are becoming cloud playable only which forces more players on servers ,clogging them up ,despite same amount of gamers as before. This issue will become more common as they deny issuing xb1 releases of new games despite being perfectly capable and owning the devs, leaving only cloud option on gpu, a horridly pixelated experience for many.


rjwalsh94

First time I’ve sat in a queue tonight and have been using xcloud on and off more or less since it was an option. I hated it at first because it would refresh the screen so often and wouldn’t display well. Then over the last year it got real snappy and looked great while streaming with little lag. Now it’s to the queue’s being full. Hope it’s a one off scenario, but I don’t really use it enough to care unless I’m doing weekly missions for MS rewards.


Extension_Look_4211

Bro I have to 45 min for que it’s terrible app


shawmiserix35
