Hi @RocketNinja15 , I had the same issue but in my case problem was with the opened iOS simulator, it somehow affected the stream. I had 40-70% packets lost. Try to test packets loss with the 1080p game streaming preset, and close all apps which may potentially reduce network quality. Good luck.

Okay, so open greenlight, then

1. Go to Settings < Streaming
2. Under Streaming set both xCloud and xHome streaming bitrate to 12mbps
3. Set H.264 Profile to High

As per this YouTube recommended bitrate guide, you should shoot for 12mbps for H.264 1080p @60fps. All my packet loss issues pretty much disappeared. And now I have no stutter while streaming.

Edit: 10mbps seems to work best.
