State of Stadia
-
Today’s General News update also covers Stadia as a platform we are continuing to work on.
-
Stadia still needs to be brought in line with other platforms with regards to fixes, bug resolutions and crossplay support.
-
We are continuing to do this work on aligning all platforms, but do not yet have a definite date for when this will be possible.

We appreciate that this work is taking longer than expected and do apologize for this.

Xbox problems related to signing in
-
A previous patch significantly increased Xbox sign in times for the vast majority of players. However, a small number of players appear to be affected by a secondary issue, which can cause them to do “alternative account sign in” workarounds.
-
We are investigating this matter and are in touch with a few affected users to investigate their accounts in order to identify the issue
-
-
Mods and Resources may be lost
-
This issue appears to be quite rare, making it very hard for us to reproduce it and identify its cause.
-
For anyone affected by this, we recommend getting in touch with our Square Enix Support Team (sqex.to/support), who now have appropriate tools to be able to grant you specific mods and resources that you may have lost. Our support team will also be able to gather the appropriate information to aid us in our investigation.
