Vibepollo 1.18.1-beta.1 - 2026-07-15

Notice: Vibepollo may trigger false-positive antivirus alerts.

Changes

Added adaptive smoother capture for virtual displays: the recommended mode now uses normal refresh on the desktop and 4x refresh while a game is active, with disabled automation and legacy fixed-2x modes also available.
Added per-client virtual-display HDR peak calibration from 400 to 2000 nits and per-client Windows scaling, keeping display identity, HDR profiles, and encoder metadata aligned with each client.
Reduced virtual-display stream startup latency by skipping redundant HDR transitions and settle waits on verified displays while retaining the full recovery path when needed.

Prevented Playnite lifecycle timing and launcher process detection from disconnecting healthy game streams.
Respected disabled HDR display handling when creating or recovering virtual displays instead of enabling Windows HDR from raw client intent.
Restaged changed virtual-display driver payloads during upgrades, removing mixed stale packages and reviving the device without requiring a reboot.
Recovered stream startup when RTSS hooks stopped responding by timing out stalled calls and falling back to the NVIDIA frame limiter.
Preserved temporary per-client displays through system sleep and recreated missing leased displays after a headless resume.
Restored RTX HDR brightness above 1000 nits and kept initial and live HDR peak metadata synchronized for native NVENC HEVC and AV1 streams.
