Compression artifacts forming when left on the same scene for a while #117

I can confirm, that I also have this issue. |
|
I'm having this issue as well |
|
Can you check which version of Moonlight UWP are you running on your Xbox? |
I'm running version 1.15.7.70 |
|
I can confirm this as well, i have the exact same issue. Using Version 1.16.1. |
|
@TheElixZammuto Any idea what might be causing this? |
|
Can confirm, am now also getting this issue. |
|
It happens to me too. I've also noticed that it happens when you stay in the same image for a long time (Cutscenes for example). Sometimes it's unbearable with so many artifacts. Disconnecting and going back sometimes solves it temporarily, but disconnecting and going back during the game causes me a lot of latency and causes frames to queue up. |
|
Turning on ycc422 in the display settings seems to solve this problem |
It didn't solve anything for me. Still getting rainbow artifacts. |
|
Confirmed, I have the same issue. Causing the screen areas involved to change drastically corrects the issue. Sometimes an area that 'drags down' leaves behind artifacted streaks. This happens using H265. Not sure if it happens with x264. Didn't happen with an earlier version of the app, but I also can't confirm what version it started in. |
No effect here. Also tried turning on/off HDR. Updated Sunshine to the latest version, no effect. When I reconfigured Sunshine to force HEVC off, and then set up Moonlight to use x264, black screen on startup. So it looks like Moonlight can only use HEVC. The issue doesn't manifest immediately, it usually takes a few minutes, but once it's started happening, it keeps happening. Settings I'm using are; 4k resolution, 60Hz. 60M stream rate. No frame loss (wired both ends). Not using HDR. Sunshine configured with defaults. Moonlight configured with defaults, using HEVC through NVENC. Source is 4k60, XBox is set to 4k60, output display is also 4k60, no colorspace conversion going on. Console is a Series X. Also confirmed that when artefacts appear, they do not appear on the original source, so they only appear on the Moonlight output. Interestingly, they 'drag' around when HUD elements move slightly, probably because of the spatial stuff in the codec I imagine. But anything that causes a major change to the screen causes the problem to vanish briefly before it returns. EDIT: Issue happens when Moonlight is set to 4k or 1080. When it does happen, disconnecting and reconnecting stream sometimes fixes it for a while. |

I'm actually having the same issue since forever, but I didn't know how to explain it, but here we are. Guest Information: Xbox Model: [Xbox Series X] Operating System: [Windows 11] And After a while it will take over the entire screen making it unusable. Weirdly enough I found it happening more often with more demanding games. Hell blade 2 in particular, during cutscenes. Just for info I'm using a 4090, so I don't think it's up to the headroom, but I noticed kicking it much later when at 1080 compared to 4k. Disabling the HDR didn't help either. PS: I'm noticing that it happens more often with unreal engine games. |

Hi everyone and sorry for the late response, to be fair I still wasn't be able to pinpoint the issue. Does anything improve/changes if running this modified version of Sunshine? https://github.com/TheElixZammuto/Sunshine-1/actions/runs/9980350592 I also think the issue is only affecting Nvidia RTX 3xxx and 4xxx graphics card, am I right? |
Would this point you in the right direction, what might be causing it?: And to answer your second question, I had colorbanding issues with my previous graphics card using your client aswell, my previous graphics card was Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti |
Reading the latest comments I tried to change the Color depth from 10bit to 8bit, and so far I wasn't able to reproduce the problem. The setting would be in General --> TV & Display options --> Video Fidelity & overscan |
Thanks for the followup. I'll try that version for a few days and see what the result is. I do indeed have an RTX 3080 card. |
Update to this. It didn't solve the problem, but it made it less likely to happen at least, |
|
I'll note that I regularly use other Moonlight clients with HEVC enabled and this is the only one that exhibits this bug. I've spent hours streaming with an Nvidia Shield and a Pixel 6 Pro. I also use a Logitech G Cloud but I don't think I have HEVC on for that (no HDR capability). I'm figuring out how to get this building locally so if I have time I can poke at this and the occasional crashes I'm getting. Edit: Some testing: Sunshine logs are the same as those that show up when I use an Android client with HEVC and HDR enabled to stream (Color range is different but I changed that to match and saw no change.) Bug seems more likely to happen in HDR/4k/while a game is playing, doesn't seem to happen on the desktop at 1440. |
To mitigate TheElixZammuto#117 (Compression artifacts forming when left on the same scene for a while), request an IDR frame from the host every 1000 packets. This seems to reset the decoder well enough to completely avoid slow corruption problem, but shouldn't add too much extra bandwidth. Unless I'm missing something, Sunshine never sends I or IDR frames after initially establishing the stream unless it's specifically asked to by the client.
|
Sorry just adding that this seems to still be an issue. Can you confirm this doesn't happen on dev mode or am I misremembering? |
|
@TheElixZammuto Any chance of merging BradyBrenot's changes so we can just regular mainline sunshine? |
|
Hi @TheElixZammuto ! I'm able to quickly reproduce the problem in the opening sequence of God of War.
That change seems to fix it! Guest Information: Host Information |
|
When using this version of Sunshine, is it safe to update it? Or should I just keep it as is |
AMD 6750 XT here and same artifacts if the image is static for some time. |
After running this build for about 2.5 hours, I didn't experience a single artifact!! I think this fixed it for me :) Guest Information Host Information Both console and host are hardwired over GbE |
|
Will this fix be implemented on the official version of sunshine? |
|
Just checking in to say that this is the same visual artifacting I saw when I reported this a long time ago: #89 I swear this had been working perfectly for a while... just came back to stream Diablo 4 and the issue pops up extremely quickly. Doesn't happen with any other Moonlight client. |
I believe something is broken with this? Looks like it is failing to build. |
Describe the bug
When the game is held on one scene for a while, e.g in a conversation with an NPC or just not panning then slowly compression artifacts start to take over certain models on the screen. They seem to target specific models while leaving other areas untouched. If i transition to a difference scene or pan the camera away from that area and then back to it, the issue dissappears but then comes back again after sometime.
This seems to happen at all resoltions and famerates. HDR on or off, 5.1 sound on or off, VRR on or off. No setting seems to stop it from happening.
Does no happen when using moonlight on the nvidia shield at the same settings.
To Reproduce
Happens on any game. Open the game and just wait without moving around. Slowly the compression artifacts take over certain models on the screen.
Expected behavior
