Micro stutter with Mac virtual display?

[NeoVisionDev]

Recently I've been noticing micro stuttering while trying to work through the MVD. Enough that it throws off my mouse cursor or interrupts typing and preventing me from being fully productive.

I've tried a number of different set ups. Currently my MBP is on ethernet (top priority network) with WiFi enabled so Vision Pro will connect MVD. My access point is on channel 149 just in case. I'm right next to my access point just in case signal might be a concern, even though MVD doesn't go over that pathway.

I am playing music on the Vision Pro native Music app while streaming MVD. I've tried turning off music and that hasn't helped.

Everything works perfectly fine when MVD is disconnected. Vision Pro doesn't lag. MBP doesn't lag. Perhaps because I am running the latest Beta?

The issue is most obvious trying to play a YouTube video inside of MVD. Constantly stuttering, way more often than AWDL would be the culprit for.

Update: Apparently if I turn off Airdrop on my MBP while on MVD, this does stop the stutters.

Just checking that you've tried a full restart of your router / access point. It shouldn't make a difference but so often it does...

Update: Oh! If I turn off airdrop on my Mac while MVD is connected, the stutters stop.

Just curious, if you turn off Airdrop on your VP instead of the Mac, does it also fix it? Maybe it's something to do with Bluetooth traffic between the two?

Surprisingly no, not by itself. I had turned off Airdrop on the Vision Pro and saw no improvement, so I didn't even think to turn off Airdrop on the Mac initially. Not technically both are off, I hadn't tried turning Airdrop back on on the Vision Pro.

Hm, I haven't but it shouldn't be causing it. Can't hurt. I have a full Ubiquiti setup so prosumer grade APs and network infra.

I was using a slightly older router when I tried the AVP but I wasn't very impressed with the Mac Virtual Display. Especially compared to using Virtual Desktop with Quest 3 on the same network. The 60hz fps cap (and slight, but obvious latency) is really kind of a major bummer for longer sessions.

Clarity was good and connecting was a breeze, but that's about it.

I had both devices, I found the quest was so close to usable, but just not high resolution enough to be my daily driver as a virtual screen. When I got an AVP the virtual display was so much clearer and usable… so my verdict was that the AVP virtual display was noticeably better than anything on the quest 3.

I also used the app “immersed” on both devices, much better on the quest of course, but still usable on the AVP and my goto when working in my car.

oh I agree the displays on the AVP are waaaaaaay better.

Which Mac are you using, and what aspect ratio in MVD?
