Is xCloud browser support down/broken?

JacobStephens1 · Apr 7, 2023

I'm primarily on Linux (Fedora 37) and when I try to run xCloud I run into multiple issues:

- On the Chromium browser: The game loads as expected, but once the Xbox splash screen loads I am booted from the game and kicked back to the game selection menu.
- On Google Chrome and Firefox: Once I select a game, the browser is unable to detect my controller despite it being recognized by the OS and many other application (including the Chromium browser).

On my Windows boot:
- I am able to boot into a game using Google Chrome and Edge, but there is regularly a green filter that is applied to the visuals of the game despite being hard-lined to the router itself.

I'm hoping this is just user error, but I am unable to play xCloud on anything besides the Xbox App, phone, or Console itself. I would really appreciate if someone could assist me so that I can play on my Linux boot during my lunch breaks.

Well no its not.cloud fault

You are forgetting one important point

Linux isn't offically supported on xcloud HOWEVER proton or Android are

You also need a supported input

I have the same issue. My Linux system and applications (like steam, for example), and also my internet browsers (chrome, edge, brave, and firefox), recognize my xbox controller pperfectly. I can even test my controller on "https://gamepad-tester.com/".

However, it simply does not work on xcloud home page; I'm unnable to use the service when I'm using my Linux device.

I've already tried all the "solutions" given by the support here on "answers.microsoft.com", but none of them worked (including the one suggesting to run "flatpak --user override" for the Edge browser). The suggestions here are simply useless, for I never find the answers when I have problems with my windows device likewise. Please, give more attention to this issue.

It is your job to fix this problem about xcloud on a OS other than windows, not ours. You should be trying to figure out what's wrong with your streaming gaming service on a OS other than windows, not us. It's not our responsibility to run dozens of terminal scripts to TRY to find a workaround, it's yours.
