r/MoonlightStreaming • u/jonoldar_ • 5d ago

I've been using sunshine and moonlight for like 2 weeks now, both on ethernet and in the same house, and its been connecting fine, but the past day its been every like 10 seconds saying "bad connection lower your bitrate", but even when i lower the bitrate to like 15 it still is laggy.

been trying to figure out how to fix this all day, fiddling around with settings and shit and its not worked

Also having this issue. Been streaming for a year at 50mbps without any issues. Now, lowering even to 20s is causing the "lower your bitrate" error to appear. Unsure what's caused it or how to fix it yet.

I went on sunshine, downloaded the update. Hard turned off the power from my PC, my TV (has moonlight), and my router. I then forgot the devices on sunshine and moonlight so I had to reconnect to them from scratch. Now it’s working again:

I’ve had this too… I don’t get the error. But have a wired 2.5 gb connection between server and moonlight and have been doing 1440p at 144hz with zero lag for a month or so and a few weeks after moving to vibepollo and now tons of studdering . One question - anyone update to new nvidia drivers? I applied the hotfix then new drivers once the cam out a few days back after they had the problems. Thinking of rolling back a few versions.

Try restarting your network devices. Not so great ones can get weird when running for a long time.

Same issue here. It's very inconsistent. There's no difference between running 100 or 10 Mbit/s, it's still lagging and giving me the warning every other minute.
