moonlight-qt - Moonlight PC v6.0.0 Latest Release

Published by cgutman 5 months ago

Download links:

The Windows installer package may require an Internet connection to download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime if your PC does not already have it installed. If you do not have Internet access during installation, you can pre-install the runtime from Microsoft's website or use the portable version.

To update an existing installation, simply run the latest installer (for Windows) or replace the old app in your Applications folder (for Mac). For the portable Windows version, extract the latest version on top of your old folder.

To install on Steam Link hardware, extract the ZIP file to the root of a FAT32 flash drive, insert it into your Steam Link, then restart the Steam Link. Moonlight can run alongside official Steam Link streaming and other Steam Link apps.

End of Support Notices:

  • Windows: v6.0.x will be the final release series supporting OSes older than Windows 10 1809 and Windows Server 2019
  • Windows: v6.0.x will be the final release series supporting 32-bit versions of Windows
  • macOS: v6.0.x will be the final release series supporting macOS verisons older than Big Sur

New Features:

  • HDR is now supported on Steam Deck and other HDR-capable Linux systems using a new Vulkan-based renderer
    • By default, the new Vulkan renderer is only used for HDR streaming, but it can be used all the time by setting the PREFER_VULKAN=1 environment variable
  • Vulkan Video decoding of H.264, HEVC, and AV1 is now supported using the new Vulkan renderer
  • A new Metal-based renderer is now used on most macOS systems for increased streaming performance and reduced latency
  • Both notched and notch-free native resolution options are now provided on Apple Silicon Macs
  • Full E2E stream encryption is now supported when streaming from Sunshine v0.22 or later
  • Initiating a stream via the command-line will now automatically wake the target machine if it is sleeping
  • Error codes are now displayed in the connection termination dialog
  • Detailed PC state information is now available via the new "View Details" context menu option (similar to the Android client)
  • The performance overlay can now be configured to appear by default when starting a stream

Behavior Changes:

  • The selected bitrate is no longer silently adjusted by Moonlight based upon the video codec or HDR mode
    • You may need to adjust your bitrate setting slightly to get the same effective bitrate as prior Moonlight versions
  • The selected mouse mode when starting a stream no longer influences the acceleration curve when the mouse mode is toggled using the Ctrl+Alt+Shift+M key combo while streaming
  • The compatibility block on Nvidia Optimus has been lifted, so Moonlight will now run on the discrete GPU if configured to in Nvidia Control Panel
  • Game Mode is disabled due to various reports of macOS Sonoma bugs affecting Moonlight and limited performance benefit (#1170 and #1297)
  • The D3D11 renderer is now preferred over D3D9 for all streaming scenarios on Windows 10 or later
  • Per-session keys (rikey and rikeyid values) are now automatically stripped from logs
  • Log messages on Linux will now be logged to stderr rather than stdout
  • Log messages on Windows will print to stderr instead of a separate log file if stderr has been redirected
  • Hardcoded fallback paths for VAAPI and VDPAU drivers are now only used by the AppImage package
  • EGL is now always used instead of GLX for loading OpenGL in X11 environments on non-x86 platforms for improved compatibility with some embedded devices

Platform Support Improvements:

  • Linux4Tegra packages are now provided for Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04
  • Debian Bookworm and Ubuntu Jammy/Noble packages are now built with Wayland support
  • The CONFIG+=vulkanslow qmake option is now provided for embedded systems with a slow Vulkan implementation to prefer hardware YUV-RGB conversion and scaling rather than using Vulkan

To install on Steam Link hardware, extract the ZIP file to the root of a FAT32 flash drive, insert it into your Steam Link, then restart the Steam Link. Moonlight can run alongside official Steam Link streaming and other Steam Link apps.

This is a bugfix release primarily to address a crash which could happen during periods of network instability on the prior v4.3.0 release.

New Features and Improvements:

  • Windowed mode streaming now starts maximized if the GUI window was maximized
  • Improved performance when streaming on a local network using IPv6
  • Logs on Windows and macOS are now limited by size instead of line count

Bugfixes:

  • Fixed crash during specific patterns of audio packet loss
  • Windows logs now use CRLF line endings for improved compatibility with text editors
  • Updated community-contributed translations

Known Issues:

  • Location Services on macOS may cause periodic lag and stuttering on Wi-Fi due to background network scans. To avoid the issue, disable Location Services on your Mac by going to "System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Location Services"
  • In windowed mode on the Raspberry Pi, video does not move in sync with the window when dragged. This is a limitation of MMAL video overlays.
  • In windowed mode on the Raspberry Pi, video will not display while the app does not have focus. This is required to prevent Moonlight's video overlay from rendering on top of other apps.

  • Fixed input capture issues on Windows if the stream starts in a non-foreground window
  • Removed dependency on qwave.dll for Windows Server OSes
  • AppImage build updated to a new baseline of Ubuntu 18.04 libraries
  • Steam Link icon updated to new standard size of 116x116
  • Updated community-contributed translations from Weblate

Known Issues:

  • Versioning changes in recent Intel graphics drivers may cause Moonlight to disable HEVC streaming. See this bug report for a link to a fixed build.
  • Location Services on macOS may cause periodic lag and stuttering on Wi-Fi due to background network scans. To avoid the issue, disable Location Services on your Mac by going to "System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Location Services"
  • Touchscreen support can be buggy on Linux (X11) when mouse capture is enabled. You may need to enable remote desktop mouse mode for it to work correctly.
  • Surface Pro X devices (and possibly other ARM devices) must be upgraded to Windows 10 2004 or later to avoid a video glitch
  • In windowed mode on the Raspberry Pi, video does not move in sync with the window when dragged. This is a limitation of MMAL video overlays.
  • In windowed mode on the Raspberry Pi, video will not display while the app does not have focus. This is required to prevent Moonlight's video overlay from rendering on top of other apps.

Download links:

The Windows installer package may require an Internet connection to download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime if your PC does not already have it installed. If you do not have Internet access during installation, you can pre-install the runtime from Microsoft's website or use the portable version.

To update an existing installation, simply run the latest installer (for Windows) or replace the old app in your Applications folder (for Mac). For the portable Windows version, extract the latest version on top of your old folder.

To install on Steam Link hardware, extract the ZIP file to the root of a FAT32 flash drive, insert it into your Steam Link, then restart the Steam Link. Moonlight can run alongside official Steam Link streaming and other Steam Link apps.

Changes:

  • Fixed an issue in v3.1.2 that could cause excessive audio latency on some connections
  • Updated community-contributed translations from Weblate

Known Issues:

  • Location Services on macOS may cause periodic lag and stuttering on Wi-Fi due to background network scans. To avoid the issue, disable Location Services on your Mac by going to "System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Location Services"
  • Remote desktop mouse mode and touchscreen input may behave incorrectly when the host PC has more than one monitor. This bug is on Nvidia's end and will require a GeForce Experience update to fix.
  • Touchscreen support can be buggy on Linux (X11) when mouse capture is enabled. You may need to enable remote desktop mouse mode for it to work correctly.
