When screen shared through discord game has a lot of stuttering

[Arbiter]

When i attempted to screen shared through discord, the game experienced pretty bad stuttering and even after closing everything but discord and the game it didn't help. Any fixes?

Does this happen only with discord running? Try without just to test, you might have the same issue I had where the game stutters when a controller isn't present

The issue is that I WANT TO SCREEN SHARE it. None of the other jackbox games have this issue.

I have the exact same issue, along with the crashes!

Same problem here

I reported this problem on release day the dev replied with this in the help thread -

-Right click on the game from your library list and choose Properties>Betas>Support Branch.

-Should have improved fullscreen support and full logging enabled if people are having issues

-The log should go to the windows user's AppData/Roaming folder, it's possible for people to change this location, but the default is generally:
"C:/Users/{user}/AppData/Roaming/Jackbox Games/The Jackbox Party Pack 5/debug.log"

-If you are still having issues after trying the support branch, then play through the game until you get the issue affecting you, exit the game, and provide us that debug.log

The support branch just causes the game to crash on launch when it didn't before.

POSSIBLE FIX:

i'd try this stuff first but when it worked all the things i had done were:
1) enabled stereo mix
2) turned off Exclusive Mode for my mic (unchecked "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device)
3) set discord audio to "Experimental"
4) hit my discord Toggle Mute button a bunch of times , leaving it muted sometimes, hitting my Push To Mute button sometimes. i think once when i was doing this it started working just as i clicked a button in the game that brought up a menu. go nuts. it didn't start working immediately after spamming, but after several seconds and pauses and garbage like that

...the audio for listeners only fixed after the mute button mashing.
i think?? setting Stereo Mix as my Input Device for discord fixed the audio for watchers, but i couldn't be heard without bringing another computer-esque device into the mix so i didn't considering it a good fix

When I go into sound settings in discord, it breaks the stream's audio while i'm there, but is fine again when i close the in-discord overlay. maybe this is a big clue to anyone who knows what they're doing lmao


1) found under the Recording tab in the Sound settings
2) found in same place, but right click what you use for a mic > Properties > Advanced
3) User Settings > Voice & Video > a drop-down option under "AUDIO SUBSYSTEM" is "Experimental"

good ******* luck (◕ᴗ◕✿)
