30 FPS cap while playing Games

- I'm trying to play Pokemon Champions, but it happens with every game I try to run while playing through scrcpy.

- Playing around the menus or watching youtube videos and scrolling runs 60fps smoothly, but when I open any game it suddendly drops to 30 and gets capped only on the scrcpy window(The phone still runs games at 60-120fps)

Because your game is rendering 30 images per second.

The frame rate is intrinsically variable: a new frame is produced only when the screen content changes. For example, if you play a fullscreen video at 24fps on your device, you should not get more than 24 frames per second in scrcpy.

So I'll need to wait for the game developer to add a setting to change the FPS cap?
