    is the output of the log (in the sunshine configurator web page) showing any codec errors? give that a read and report back to us with more info.

    i had a similar problem before and it was related to permissions and how it was installed. the sunshine packages are finnicky as fuck on linux.

      No output errors at all. It actually runs at high frame rates and high resolution. No matter what res or frame cap or bandwidth limit it will microstutter in predictable ways :(

      I’ve tried Sunshine and Moonlight, on both Bazzite (pre-installed and configured) and CachyOS (pacman and AUR).

        mine logs it as such:

        Info: Found H.264 encoder: h264_vaapi [vaapi]
        Info: Found HEVC encoder: hevc_vaapi [vaapi]
        

        after a bunch of messages about trying some codecs and setting bitrate and color depth for the found encoders. connecting with a client should show you no errors and a message with the selected encoder. you can try cpu encoding to see if that changes anything for a clue.

        if the encoders are showing up as properly detected and selected in the logs, then you might want to look into something else as encoders are probably not the cause.
