See screenshot above.

Guest Information:

• Xbox Model: Xbox Series X
• TV Resolution: 4K
• Stream at 1080p or 1440p @ 120fps. Using default settings.

Host Information

• Operating System: Windows 11
• Host Software: Latest Sunshine Nightly
• Monitor Resolutions 1440p. Also tested 1080p.

Additional context
Streaming locally via wired ethernet so bandwidth and interference should not be an issue. Seems like a type of frame drop/network drop, but the Issue only appears on XBOX Moonlight app. Does not happen on Moonlight or Artemis app on nvidia shield pro.

Excellent bug writeup. Didn't actually see this until now but same exact thing happening to me and no matter what I adjust I can't get it to stop happening when using Xbox client.

Only difference for me is I am using Apollo for host. I'm pretty sure I still saw it when trying at 60fps too. I am primarily using 4k 120fps but tried reducing that to see if it would fix it. From my testing/attemping to fix it, the settings do not seem to make a difference so as far as I can tell it is something with the Xbox client itself.

I am having the same problem. I've tried every possible fix on GitHub and Reddit, but none of them worked. Other than the occasional 2-3 second spike, I have almost 0 ms of network and encoding/decoding latency. Have you managed to resolve this issue by any chance?
