![]() I’ve connected with a lot of you and it seems many of us are feeling this way. Those types of reads have such a huge place in my reading life throughout the year but especially now. But when the world seems like its on fire and things are so uncertain? YEP give me all the feel good books or easy reads. I’m always a fan of more lighthearted books when summer hits (love those light summery reads) but I ALWAYS need my entertainment to be more light and feel good or just EASY/hook me quick when things are personally hard. But I’m DEFINITELY finding myself seeking out two types of books: all things light/easy/funny/heartwarming and also things that are just quick and easy (honestly thrillers that aren’t super disturbing have been EVERYTHING to me because of that quick hook). It’s even been hard to read and I’m finding myself NEEDING those light & easy books to read because my anxiety is high worrying about how we will carry on, how this will affect Riley and just worrying about loved ones and all the unknown.ĭespite it being challenging for me to actually read right now I’ve been certainly, as always, trying to find some solace and normalcy in books. I am trying to stay optimistic right now as we are on day 11 of staying at home but it’s hard and taking a lot of distraction and reframing. Encoding lag dropped to 0, and no more stutters / skipping.Y’all things feel bleak and uncertain right now. Once I did that, I re-confirmed that I was using both Hardware Encoding and Hardware Decoding on my Steam Link, and saw that my game was now correctly using the nVidia H.264 hardware encoder. Go into nVidia GeForce Experience, and disable Game Stream / ShadowPlay. This feature uses the hardware H.264 encoder on your video card and prevents other applications from using that H.264 encoder. This is the feature where nVidia cards automatically buffer the last 5/10/20 minutes of game activity (like a DVR), so that you can create instant-replay videos. The problem for me was that I had nVidia Game Stream / ShadowPlay running in the background. Steam Link was using software encoding, even though I specifically selected "Enable Hardware Encoding" in Steam settings. That added lag introduces audio and video "skipping" when streaming. That means that your game is using software-based encoding, and that it's adding quite a bit of encoding lag especially when there's a lot of motion on the screen. Screenshot (manually rename this link): bit-dot-ly/1NhokoU Streaming Graph: Dark blue bar (encoding lag) has spikes while you have a lot of activity / motion on screen ![]() If you look at the streaming stats, and see: It also tells you the Encoder that's being used (on your source gaming PC), and the encoding lag that's being added. If you turn on your streaming stats overlay while in-game, you get a lot of information about lag, ping, dropped frames, etc. ![]() It was related to my nVidia video card (GTX 980). I felt this was important enough for me to make a separate thread about this. Just FYI, when I was troubleshooting an audio popping issue (turns out root cause was encoding lag), I learned that you need to disable nVidia's Shadow Play / Game Stream feature on your desktop PC for Steam hardware encoding to work.
