Hi, I have an issue with some games, this didn't happen before upgrading to Power.
It skips lots of frames and it feels very choppy and it doesn't happen in all games.
The only difference I've noticed is when I check the usage stats, the games that have this issue run at 150fps.
My Shadow is set at 60fps and I have 60hz monitor so games that work well pretty much always show the stream at 60fps, while the games that don't work well show the stream at 150fps.

I've not found a fix anywhere on reddit or here, maybe I've not searched enough but I'm hoping someone here can help with this.

I've attached 2 photos, one is in Diablo 3 for example and that game streams well at 60fps and I get no choppy fps and it doesn't skip frames at all, compared to the other photo which is in No Man Sky.

I wanted to write this yesterday but for some reason after restarting the game a few times it started working properly, streaming at 60fps instead of 150fps and it wasn't choppy. Today though, the same issue happens but I haven't managed to fix it at all.

Sorry for the wall of text, just wanted to detail my issue.

Looks like you're dropping packets.

sorry but that's not the issue, I know it's a wall of text, but if you reply, at least give it a try.

#

those packets right there are when I put shadow in windowed mode to make a screenshot of the quickmenu(dont know another way)

#

otherwise it's smooth 0%.
even so, dropping packets would never have this effect, come on

#

I'll write again,
my issue is that I've locked my stream to 60fps yet on some games it ignores that and boosts it to frames I shouldn't be able to get anyway and in return get very choppy performance.

Its an bug with the shadow streaming, they will be fixing this at some point. Can you tell me the games that are currently in these screenshots? And maybe I can try and assist you more

Using borderless instead of fullscreen could fix this.

the one that has issues is No Man's Sky, the other one, Diablo 3, presents no problems
I've also encountered this issue on a game called Curse of the Dead Gods.

Have yet to try more games since getting Power.

tried switching from between them, so far, no changes in graphical settings have made any difference.
