New Stadia user with questions.
Mezron May 2, 2020
I'm trying out Stadia since it accepted a gift card I had on the side and I'm enjoying it so far. Still not certain that I want to stay on PRO going forward but I have some questions that may help me pull the trigger after the free trial is over.

1) I have visual tearing and I'm playing mainly via gaming desktop and gaming laptop with wired connections on Google Chrome Browser. Is this something I can remove or something I have to deal with? Resolved

2) I won $50 awhile back at a local FGC event. It's been on my gmail account for a long time and it's still there. I use that same account for Stadia but I don't see a way that I use it for the service. Is this something I have to do on Android? Everyone at my home is using Ubports on their mobiles so I don't have access to the Google Plays store.

Thanks for the help.

I had to use my Android phone to pay for a game with PayPal. I also had to use my Android phone to access my credit from doing the Google surveys. I cant believe I did enough surveys to buy a 25$ game :)

So I'd probably wager you'll need to apply your credit on an android device.

I'm curious how you resolved that. I tried a few things, but not even force composition pipeline got rid of tearing.

I installed new drivers and did not enable "Force Full Composition Pipeline" on my Nvidia X Server Settings.

I ended up sending in a support ticket and they added the $50 credit to my Stadia account.
