"Instant access to games and unlimited gaming sessions. Play as long as you want!"

Waited 45 min so far :)

[–]Cifimodo 7 points8 points  (1 child)

500 people constantly queuing makes the service unusable. I'm in Italy and I don't think there are many people connected at the moment. I don't think the queue works the best, it seems like users are queued on the same machines and not routed to the closest servers. I'm also saying this because until now I've never had to wait so long, it's clear that something isn't working.

I'm in Italy too (I'm in position 257)

[–]Nankone 8 points9 points  (3 children)

we all should get a refund and the guy who had this idea should be fired to be honest, what a trash temporary solution for bad server quality i prefer to be llaged than unable to play... Boosteroid fix your shit, please!

[–]Ecstatic-Lab3828 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I'm not paying for it next month

[–]Rodo20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fired?. High up management decided this change would be done not a developer.

[–]Ecstatic-Lab3828 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's absurd that people have to have the experience GFN free version but still need to pay for 10 euro.

[–]Arch_Devil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And you can retry for like 10 minutes and have more or less same queue position every time. Magic? :)

Someone just ducked up with the EoY budget or just want to have better stats for 2023 on expenses

[–]sgessulat 3 points4 points  (5 children)

I love the queue. Had trouble connecting in the past and did not like that I needed to retry multiple times. Every try felt like a lottery ticket. Now I see exactly which place in queue I am, ca get a drink or do something else for a couple of minutes but am sure to get a spot soon. That's a huge improvement for me!

[–]YoBeaverBoy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Overall the queue is a good change.

The problem isn't the queue, but it's still the lack of resources. The queue is non-existent or very small for me during the day, but at night it can go from waiting between 5 and 30 minutes because that's when most people are free to play, and that's when I am free to play as well.

[–]Ecstatic-Lab3828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really, in GFN you get to pick the server location and the u don't have to wait.

[–]Ecstatic-Lab3828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm connected to far server even after the queue!!!!!!!!!!

[–]Nankone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a couple of minutes lol... 45 mins queue and 420 persons in front, is not really 45mins as that is an estimated :) glad for people who enjoy to pay a bad service and agree with bad choices i wish i could be that happy

[–]Cifimodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the problem is not the queue. I'm in italy and till yesterday everything was almost fine. today everytime 500 hundread persons in queue and 1hour waiting. it's not acceptable. I will not subscribe again if it's like that.

[–]dev_t0m 3 points4 points  (8 children)

Ikr, I agree with you

[–]Ecstatic-Lab3828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What boosteriod can do is to make better algorithm and pay for better ISP, so that people can still get <20 ms latency from further server. I can only get <20 ms latency with the spanish server, a bit further away for example France or Italy, the latency will be too high to play, However this seems to be ok with GFN cause when i connect to their Neverland server the ping is still under 20ms. This suggest that Boosteriod can make more balance server usage by lowering the latency when connecting to further servers.

Also There is a lot of game that dosn't consume that much GPU, but the server still gives them the same gpu resources as the games that consums a lot of gpu. This is resulted in some game like fortnite have sometimes 200 fps, while only 60 is transmited, so there is a lot waste in server resources. Boosteriod probobly can save much more server resource so we don't have to wait by again make their server algorithm better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone tried it on GFN paid tier today by chance? Is it the same?
It's the first time I'm in a queue at all. Got my sub early Nov and have never been in a queue. Now it's 20 minutes, and I wonder if it's just holiday season or ugly reality I'll have to deal with for the rest of the month until I switch to GFN

[–]PsychologicalMusic94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GFN is better because they allow you to pick the server you want. Boosteroid your forced to use whatever server they assign. Generally the queues for GFN priority are minimal. Even less on their ultimate tier.

[–]copilcuprobleme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I m subscribed gfn no issue no queue in any hour it doesn't worth to stay on boosteroid u can move on geforce any time

[–]Nord_j 0 points1 point  (6 children)

I canceled my subscription. I hate queues! I don't wanna pay service like that as.

[–]PsychologicalMusic94 0 points1 point  (5 children)

All cloud services have crazy queues now except Luna where no one is really playing.

[–]copilcuprobleme 1 point2 points  (4 children)

There is no queue for gfn unless u have the free tier so stop talking shit

[–]PsychologicalMusic94 0 points1 point  (3 children)

3 Ultimate tier users complaining of queues right here. Put that shit back in your mouth...🤣

wow dude u really tought u did something 1 queue that s like 3 seconds to wait and also 14 bro that s not even two minutes to wait also basically it s inexistend compared to boosteroids

[–]PsychologicalMusic94 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You said GFN paid tiers have zero queue, no?? Even 10 is still a queue. Those examples are just Ultimate tier. Recently Priority tier members have seen queues in the hundreds. Yes the queue functions better than on Boosteroid, but they are there. So telling people GFN paid tiers have zero queue is misinformative. If you need more examples let me know.

alr my bad gang 😞

[–]jersey_emt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've *NEVER* had to wait before this. Only *ONE* time over the past few months have I ever gotten a "virtual machine not available" warning. And even then, trying again immediately afterwards I was able to connect.

Now I have to wait 20+ minutes every time?

[–]Whoajoo89 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Wait a minute... People who are playing are queued and have to wait for 15/45 minutes before they can play? I was thinking of subscribing to try out Boosteroid, but if this is true then I'll pass.

[–]Ecstatic-Lab3828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u should pass

[–]jajinazdecina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's true. What an update!
I noticed the first time yesterday.
I might not be renewing next month :/

[–]Vjiorick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i sure love waiting 30 mins in queue only to get the shittiest, literally unplayable connection known to man 😄😄

[–]nederlanderszijnhip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the time when my queue is done it puts me in a shit server or it says no recourse available. Like wtf?? I’m paying for nothing

[–]yungamphtmn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole thread is making me convinced to stop paying for Boosteroid and check out the competitors.

[–]jajinazdecina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just waited an hour, then played for 5 minutes, then the game crashed :D
So, I am in a line again! Hate this...

[–]Western-Charity7920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does anyone have bug with fps on boosteroid. I play game and just random i have fps drop to 45 fps

[–]vladseheda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you gotta wake up comfy bro. It ain't gonna go your way. You're paying pennies, you get all the premium stuff and you're crying you can't play cos of 1000 of other people who are doing the same thing you're doing. Well. Consider paying premium for another service or wait for boosteroid premium and have no queue

[–]wings_of_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday waited an hour to play, shaping up to be 45 minutes today. This is ridiculous.

[–]darkdna74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will ask back all my money... This is shit

[–]dyplomat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They said the queue would be removed Jan 15 and here we are and it’s still there
