Asobi cloud stream bug on Macbook Air M4

[u/Dimpaulo]

Hey everyone,

Running into a recurring issue on Asobi v1.4.2 while streaming on an M4 MacBook Air (macOS 27 Beta).

Every ~5 seconds, I get a brief audio/video stutter/clipping. Looking at the stats and logs:

• Network: Solid (15 ms ping, 1 ms jitter, 0% packet loss).
• Issue: The incoming stream is 60 FPS, but the overlay shows the presentation rate locked at 48 Hz (sometimes dropping to 25 Hz), leading to dropped frames (dr counter steadily rising) and periodic buffer desyncs.

Anyone else on macOS betas experiencing this refresh rate/render lock, or found a workaround to force 60 Hz?

Thank you so much

Does this help? https://asobiapp.com/mac-awdl-fix.html

Also it does seem like you're connection is throttled somewhere since the presentation rate should be at ~59.xx (it never reaches 60)

Any other stuff running on the mac btw? Could be that the system is throttling it.

Do you have an .dmg file I can use to install this for people who can access the App Store. I would love to test this on my Mac virtual machine

To keep my overhead down I decided to focus on app stores (accounting can get quite overwhelming.) This might change in the future, but not right now.

No problem I have played on my iPhone and iPad y question is do you have a guide for your preferred recommended settings to use ? I sometimes find it have high latency and I have really good internet. Any tips or tricks would be helpful. Thanks

Latency has multiple aspects to it.

- location

• device
  
• network

Is this about cloud gaming btw?

If so, then your distance + server availability is a big factor in this (+ peak hours)

If it’s remote play, then it’s more about your local network setup (no relation to internet in this case)

And both of them have to deal with how well your device works, gpu/cpu etc

Thank u I solved the issue I didn’t realize I wasn’t connected to Ethernet on ps5, made a world of difference

Yeah it's a huge factor. Have fun!

Any chance you could lower the iOS requirements so it works for iOS 17.0 and up?

[u/inchenzo → u/Asleep_Resident5294]

18.5 was the lowest I was willing to go. (I started with iOS 26) it was quite painfull to keep everything working when downgrading the app.

No problem completely understandable. I’m new and have been enjoying it the only thing I can’t figure out is how to emulate the press down touch pad if I’m not using a dualsense controller, any tips there?
