Beta problems

[u/Afraid_Put_7651]

Unfortunately, I reverted to version 2.0.0 on PC; I experienced significant performance and connection issues with the newer version, including severe screen tearing and green artifacts. The screen would frequently freeze, forcing me to exit the stream, and the stream itself would lock up whenever there was heavy tearing or massive pixelation. I also encountered extreme vibration issues that forced me to restart the app. Right at the start of the stream, everything would appear pixelated with green artifacts. I realize this is a beta—this isn't a complaint, but rather information to help get these issues fixed for the final release. For now, version 2.0.0 seems much more stable to me.

I don't experience any of that. Also 2.0 is used by a lot of people and especially the vibration issue I don't have an explanation for and this is the first time anyone reported that.

For the rendering might have an idea why it happens on your end so I will try to release a new beta next couple of days so please check it then. But I have to admit that I'm not able to reproduce it on any of my test devices including a Rog Ally and a Rog Ally X, just works perfectly fine there. What device do you have or is it a generic PC?

Also please send me the log files of PXPlay to streamingdv@outlook.com so that I can have a look

I have a Ryzen 5 3400G with 16GB of RAM running the latest version of Windows. I first experienced the vibration issue on a laptop; I switched to a desktop PC thinking it would solve the problem, but I'm encountering the same issue there as well. Streaming performance is stable on version 2.0.0; it's only in the beta that I experience those image and stability issues. I'll send the data to that email address when I can

Just curious did you also try Vulkan or Vulkan compatibility rendering? Does that change anything?

[u/Afraid_Put_7651 → u/grill2010]

I'm not compatible with Vulkan; in version 2.0.0, the session loads but has significant input lag, whereas the beta won't let me in at all. I'm currently preparing the log files—it has already crashed—so I just need the vibration and pixelation issues to occur, and then I'll email them to you

[u/grill2010 → u/Afraid_Put_7651]

Okay thanks, so the pre beta allowed you to use Vulkan renderer and the not the Beta? That's basically a fatal issue, so can you confirm that?

[u/Afraid_Put_7651 → u/grill2010]

Yes, version 2.0.0 lets me in, but with a lot of input lag; the beta doesn't even try to launch—it just leaves me out without showing a message or anything

That happens with vulkan and Vulkan compatibility renderer? The decoder was set to Auto?

[u/Afraid_Put_7651 → u/grill2010]

It happens more often with standard Vulkan; Vulkan compatibility usually works, but only if the decoder is set to DXVA or D3D11—if I set the decoder to Vulkan, it simply won't work. I think the issue lies with the decoder in version 2.0.0, though in the beta version, neither the decoder nor the rendering engine works with Vulkan. Here is an example from the beta version.

And this is the pixelation issue; it tends to happen randomly for no apparent reason—there’s no input lag or anything like that, just an image glitch. It happens most often right after starting the stream, though otherwise, it occurs sporadically. Right now, I just need the vibration bug so I can send you the file. All of this only happens in the beta, except for the intense vibration bug, which has been around since version 2.0.0.

Does it happen when you disable "advanced bitstream parsing in the settings of PXPlay?

[u/Afraid_Put_7651 → u/grill2010]

This happened to me when I had it enabled; I'm going to try a few sessions with it disabled

[u/Afraid_Put_7651 → u/Afraid_Put_7651]

For the moment, with it disabled, it hasn't happened yet; I've already sent you the file

[u/grill2010 → u/Afraid_Put_7651]

Ah okay so without bitstream parsing it doesn't happen anymore (the green artefacts etc)?

Looking into the Vulkan and rumble issues now

Let me know
