My issue with running many games on cloud gaming.

I know what the "cloud" is or isn't, but it was interesting how last year it was the cloud, the power of the cloud, the cloud, the cloud, cloud.....

This year they just stated "servers", I said long at the time when everyone was getting wet about the cloud that it meant nothing. I also stated technically all EA games have run in the "cloud" as they are run on servers based away from the user. An cloud
is not a "buzzword" cloud gaming started many many years ago with onlive.

I have a similar problem but can't play cloud gaming using my data (5G) when I go to gamepass and click on any game just says install to, but if i connect my mobile to my wifi then it says play.. but if i go to xbox.com/play using my data it run any game like how it was before, no idea why out of the sudden Im having so many issues with cloud gaming or remote gaming and seems are the apps that are glitching so bad.. and when I contacted Microsoft is like the person doesn't even know what is a cloud gaming or what is remote play, so pointless to speak with any of them

Hello again and many tahnks for your replay, and apologies for my late gatting back too you.

Right this is what i have done

I did complete system wipe including games and apps

Replaced the thermal paste on the cpu

And as a last resort have fitted and replaced thee hdd with an ssd with new operating system not a clone

And still will run an installed game for a minute or two but the same game using the cloud will run with no issues

I had great hopes for "the cloud", but after being part of the NBA 2k14 server down so I can't play the game problem, after reading about the SIM City problems when that PC game was first released... no, I don't think the cloud with revolutionize gaming.


There is too much lag for a lot of calculations to be offloaded to the cloud, so only data can be stored and pulled in before a section of the game is played. Like the Drivatars, the data is stored, pulled in, loaded, and the game is run.

I just see too many possible issues and not enough positive impact AT THIS TIME. I hope someone comes along and uses the servers out there to just surprise everyone in the world.

Your issue with 2K14 has nothing to do with the cloud. The game is run off of 2K servers not Microsoft.

Glad to hear your back up and running. The service alert page still says there are issues so if you do run into further trouble then please be sure to check in on that.

Hopefully that is not the case and you can enjoy your gaming without interruption.

Many thanks,
