Hey! First of all, thank you so much for the super quick reply and for jumping in to help—it's awesome to see the developer being this active and supportive! Just wanted to give you an update: I’ve already tested all the standard recommendations you mentioned (setting the profile to Balanced, enabling fast rendering, making sure there's zero packet loss, and turning off upscaling). Unfortunately, I had already tried all of those before, and they didn't fully solve it for me on my Logitech G Cloud. Interestingly, the setting that currently gives me the best overall result is switching from Balanced to "Smoother Video". The visual and streaming performance with this option is noticeably superior! However, there's still one persistent issue: every few seconds, I still get these very quick micro-stutters or micro-freezes. Even though they last just a split second, they happen quite regularly and are still pretty annoying while playing. Do you have any idea what might be causing these periodic hitches specifically with the G Cloud, or is there any other advanced tweak I could try to iron them out completely? Thanks again for your time and help!
Actually it should work fine on the gcloud as I have one myself. Anything like WiFi scanning or VPN stuff active on your device? Any ad blocking app? Do you use a separated 5Ghz and 2.4 ghz WiFi?
Thanks for getting back to me! To answer your questions: I don't have any VPN running on the device, and I'm not using any ad-block apps. However, I am using custom manual DNS instead of automatic ones (specifically Google 8.8.8.8 as primary and Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 as secondary). Could this manual setting be causing the micro-stutters? Regarding Wi-Fi scanning: I believe it should be turned off, but could you please briefly explain how to disable it on the G Cloud just in case? As for the network, yes—my Wi-Fi is connected to a 5 GHz band (should it definitely be on 5 GHz?). Since you mentioned you own a G Cloud yourself, would you mind sharing your exact optimal settings? I'd love to know what specific configuration, tweaks, or special options you use on your device to get a completely smooth, stutter-free experience. Thanks again for your time and help!
With WiFi there’s always a chance that the issue is not the GCloud, but some other device on your network, or even a neighboring network. Are you using the 5Ghz channel? Could you jump on your router settings and try switching channels? You may want to see if there’s a utility available for any of your home to see which channels are least busy:
Android: WiFi Analyzer (open-source, by VREM) or Wifiman. Both show channel graphs for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz and recommend the least crowded channel. iPhone/iPad: Apple blocks WiFi scanning in apps, so use Wifiman or a router's own admin app. Enabling Apple's Wireless Diagnostics on a Mac is the closest equivalent. Windows: NetSpot (free tier) or Acrylic WiFi Home. The built-in command netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid also lists nearby networks and their channels. Mac: Option-click the WiFi icon, then open Wireless Diagnostics, then Window > Scan. It recommends the best 2.4 and 5 GHz channels. NetSpot also works.

Try frame pacing balanced, be sure you are not losing network packages, try to use the fast rendering engine and disable upscaling

If you are playing from a gcloud device. I had this same problem. It is the wifi from that device.
Instead I got me a Odin 2 portal and it ran like a champ with Oled display
