v6.1.0-vrr6: Lower latency VRR streaming (beta)
This build improves VRR (FreeSync / G-Sync / Adaptive-Sync) game streaming.
What's new
- Lower latency. Frame pacing now measures how much buffering your connection actually needs and uses no more than that. On stable connections, latency drops automatically — no settings required.
- Better calibration. Moonlight remembers what it learns about your display between sessions, and automatically re-checks when your setup changes.
- Linux bug fixes. Fixed several Linux-specific issues, including refresh rate detection and frame timing precision.
- Polished VRR settings. All VRR options now live in one place in Settings, and VRR is now opt-in: turn it on with the Enable VRR checkbox. Enabling it automatically picks the best FPS and window mode for your display.
Note for existing users: after updating, open Settings and check Enable VRR — it is off by default in this release.
