Getting Moonlight streaming to work at 120hz using a Bazzite client
Hi team.
I've just set up a HTPC (TRIGKEY R7 6600H/660M/16GB/500GB) with Bazzite and having a great experience so far! Thank you for all your hard work on this OS. If I solve this issue I doubt I'll ever boot into the Windows partition again.
Now, I've setup this PC to mainly serve as a Moonlight streaming client from my main gaming PC to my living room, where I have a LG C3. As mentioned I've got a dual boot going with Windows, and setup Moonlight streaming clients identically on both OS. However, when trying to stream 4k@120hz HDR, I'm having a strange issue when running under Bazzite.
In the first attached picture, you can see while streaming under Windows 11 I have full 120 fps with no drops or other issues.
In the second attached picture, you can see while streaming under Bazzite Moonlight is capped somehow to only render at 60fps, with 50% (it does fluctuate a bit) attributed to be dropped due to "network jitter". Given the "frame queue delay" stat, I assume frames are only grabbed at 60fps and the network buffer is not consumed fast enough, leading to the drop being attributed as it is.
Under display settings I've set the resolution to 3840x2160@120. If I hop into desktop mode (gnome) and check the display settings there, it's all setup for 4k 120hz as well and seems to be working fine. If I run Moonlight under dektop mode I get the same issue.
I would love to get some input on what to try next and hear if anyone has run into any similar issue.
