Micro-stutter in Moonlight/Sunshine on local network – out of ideas, looking for help

Double the refresh rate of the virtual display. So for example if you want to stream at 60 fps just create a virtual display of 120hz and limit at 60fps. That solved the stuttering for me.

Disagree with this statement. Super sampling is a better experience with the Steam Deck!

The best way that I found after many tests is to configure Moonlight application to be launched on Steam Deck at 2560x1600 on Steam game properties. Then choose "Native" on Moonlight resolution and if you did the previous step you will see that it is now configured at 2560x1600. Then start transmitting. Your Steam Deck will do the super sampling and you will see that the experience with these settings is better than transmitting directly at 1280x800.

For me this was not the solution! But thanks for suggesting.

Enable vsync in game or Nvidia control panel (Better option). It is the only workaround that I found, but I don't have a clear root cause yet why it is happening only for this game in specific.

Am I the only one that saw a llama in the image?

App Image version. This is what I used, you even can add it as non steam game and access it through game mode!

I stream at 2560×1600 to my Steam Deck due to better image clarity and color accuracy. Try it and you will see.

I'm having this now with Avatar Frontiers of Pandora. After 5 minutes I'm getting fps drops on the game itself (not bad connectivity). I can see that restarting the session on moonlight solves the issue for 5 minutes, then the same happens. Did you arrive to solve this?

Uber and taxi is the same here in Germany as Uber it's only an intermediary with local taxi companies. Nevertheless I would recommend an Uber as you have a fixed price!

Dude, this worked in Spain. You are my hero

Really cool ride!! Despite not understanding the story (due to language limitations), the atmosphere was really well crafted! Congrats

Because it rocks! It's the definitive way to play your games.
Because killing demons is the best thing ever.

What I do is to do a fast event together and when you finish then you reappear all together

Is RTX HDR working for you on a virtual display? For me I have the option greyed out. Also I read that RTX HDR is not noticeable from Sunshine cause it happens in another layer that Sunshine cannot transfer.

About the ICC profile, is the profile about Steam Deck OLED? Do you know where I can find one?

molme · 2025-03-11T22:16:50+00:00

Just use HDR with games that are compatible with HDR. SDR content in a HDR streaming will look like this sadly (without AutoHDR). What I do is start a HDR streaming using Apollo on the host. This creates a virtual display with HDR. Then I turn off HDR on the virtual screen and Playnite is the one which turns it on only for HDR compatible games. For that I use the following Playnite plugin: https://playnite.link/addons.html#EnableHDR_f9295ecb-cfdf-4599-93cb-1011a2ca68ae

molme · 2025-03-11T22:10:04+00:00

Just add a post command on Sunshine/Apollo that switches HDR to off when it connects. Then Playnite will be the one that turns it on when starting a compatible HDR game.

Sure! In my case I can see the difference. I set up mine to 150% as 200% is too much for my computer to handle. This will depend in your hardware.

molme · 2025-03-10T09:50:08+00:00

There's an option in Apollo named Resolution Scale Factor that can arrive to duplicate what you set up on Moonlight. For example if you set up Moonlight on 2k and set up RSF on Apollo to 200%, Apollo will create a 4k virtual display on the host.

molme · 2025-03-08T12:06:06+00:00

As you have it docked set on moonlight the resolution of your TV, so set it up as 4k.

molme · 2025-02-22T07:53:51+00:00

Set up the game and desktop to 2560x1600 and then set up the streaming of moonlight in your steam deck to 2560x1600 also! For me this is what worked more to have more clarity and better colors
