    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.
