Refresh rate workaround

[mel11691]

I've found the for some games, setting your virtual monitor's refresh rate higher than the capture can give you a smoother capture. I actually found this answer somewhere on reddit.

Ironically before I was confused and asked you why you could change the virtual monitors refresh rate, but now I can't seem to change it independent from the moonlight capture. I tried updating Apollo, but I still can't. Can you reintroduce this capability, or what would the command line function be to set a different refresh rate when Apollo creates a virtual display?

There never was custom refresh rate option in Apollo. You can do it by customizing it in Moonlight Desktop, and this feature will be added to Artemis later.

I mean when in desktop on Windows you could change the virtual monitor's refresh rate with like 8 different options. Now the only option when in Window's display settings is the capture refresh rate set in moonlight.

Sorry wrong thread replied...

Only when your client's resolution matches those built in ones you can change them manually.

You can disable vsync and lock framerate to a higher one with RTSS in this case.

Oh, I must not have realized the virtual display was 1440p instead of 4k. That's too bad. I have been streaming at 120 and capping at 60 in game, but it does seem like the image is not as good as the same bit rate as streaming at 60, but I'm not completely sure about that.
