Describe the Bug
Using a framelimit (60fps) of any type (driver, external program or in-game options) on host (Sunshine 0.20.0, 0.22.* and nightly release) induces stream lag (40~50 fps) usually during high motion scenes (happens during low motion scenes as well) on the client PC (Moonlight 5.0.1, nightly). Enabling VSync on host (in-game and driver) appears to alleviate the issue but with additional input latency making most games unplayable.
No settings other than framelimit and VSync have any effect on the issue.
Expected Behavior
Setting a framelimit of 60fps on the host pc should not induce any stream lag.
Additional Context
Have done extensive hardware and software testing to find the root cause of the issue to no avail. I have tested the following.
-Multiple versions of Windows 10 64bit
-Multiple versions of Sunshine and Moonlight (both with hardware and software encoding/decoding)
-Multiple versions of Nvidia drivers
-2 different host computers and 2 different client computers
-Hardware testing of GPUs and PCIe connections, networking (cables, network cards, wifi), storage (mechanical and solid state), memory testing (MemTest86), Power supplies (wattage testing and measurement) and have concluded that all hardware tested is in normal working condition.
