Known Issues:

  • Video latency may be very high when streaming from older GeForce Experience versions. Updating GeForce Experience to the latest version (3.14.1) should resolve the issue. https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/issues/68
  • When quitting the current game by launching a new one, Moonlight may start the wrong game. To work around this issue, quit the current game by right clicking on it, then start the new game. This issue will be fixed in the next Moonlight release.
