Issue: Cloud Gaming with Elite 2 + MacBook Air

Hi,

I am using a 2021 macbook air and used safari, chrome, opera and brave browsers to check. Same issue everywhere.

Just for some context, I have been using same setup since 2021 for cloud gaming and it worked flawlessly in the past. Thanks!

Hi,

If you're intending to play games on a computer don't buy a Apple laptop and certainly don't be a Chromebook.

Apple don't make great machines for gamers, and the latest mac's use the new 'Apple M1' which is an ARM based processor. These are quick and efficient in productivity, but not meant for games. The latest Apple M1 Chip systems can't run Windows and consequently won't run PC games.

Chromebooks are meant for 'light computing' tasks and productivity. Gaming is pretty basic with only mobile or tablet based games on offer. Also Chromebook is meant to be continuously online, most apps won't work without the device being connected to the internet.

If you want to play real PC games you need a gaming PC. I wouldn't go with a 'Gaming laptop' unless you intend to go places with it. Get a proper desktop/tower gaming PC. Or build one yourself. I built my own gaming PC.

I have a MacBook Air M1. Wired controller via USB c and wired to fiber internet and I still have the lag on every game. 100% not the controller. Google Stadia did the same. Works perfectly fine on console.

You mentioned yours works fine on my setup. What are you doing differently?

Anybody know any fixes on this or just an existing issue with cloud gaming during early times with cloud gaming?

Hi, thanks for responding. It is with my MacBook Air

While in principle it's possible if you have windows installed on the MacBook air using the likes of boot camp, the practical reality is that it's not going to come close to playable with the available processing power/gpu that the MacBook air has, especially
for the more recent aaa titles
