Connection terminated with error code -1 only on bitrate higher than 5000

[LhymeFruit]

It only happens on 5000 bitrate not 10000 or 20000
ive tried 1080p 30, 1080p 60, 720p 60, 720p 30, they ALL do this

Moonlight Wii U Configuration

Lines starting with '#' are comments, to edit an option uncomment it by removing the '#'

Hostname or IP-address of host to connect to

address = 192.168.1.23

Video streaming configuration

#width = 1920
#height = 1080
fps = 60

Disables the gamepad so the other controllers are mapped to players 1 to 4

disable_gamepad = false

Swaps the buttons so they match the xbox controller layout

#swap_buttons = false

Automatically connect to the host on startup and start the stream

#autostream = true

Use the absolute touch position for mouse emulation

#absolute_positioning = true

Output rotation (independent of xrandr or framebuffer settings!)

Allowed values: 0, 90, 180, 270

#rotate = 0

Bitrate depends by default on resolution and fps

Set to -1 to enable default

20Mbps (20000) for 1080p (60 fps)

10Mbps (10000) for 1080p or 60 fps

5Mbps (5000) for lower resolution or fps

bitrate = 10000

Size of network packets should be lower than MTU

If streaming with WAN optimizations, this will be capped at 1024.

#packetsize = 1392

Default started application on host

app = Desktop

Play audio on host instead of streaming to client

localaudio = true

Send quit app request to remote after quitting session

#quitappafter = false

Disable all input processing (view-only mode)

#viewonly = false

Enable QOS settings to optimize for internet or local network

yes - optimize for WAN streaming

no - optimize for LAN streaming

auto (default) - decide automatically based on target IP address

remote = no

Enable 5.1/7.1 surround sound

#surround = 5.1

It randomly disconnects now, whenever it wants to seemingly
I know its not my LAN because im capable of playing wireless PCVR over the lan at 4k just fine.

The newest version seems not playing well with 1080P even when you are using wired NIC.
My setup can only connect correctly with 10Mbps (10000), anything higher than this got me -1 connection error.
I am also using 6700XT and can see artifacts every 3-4 seconds, but if switch to software encode on sunshine side this will be greatly reduced.

any fixes? im having the same issue, it'll randomly disconnect with error -1

any fixes? im having the same issue, it'll randomly disconnect with error -1

I dont know i also get it and its starting to annoy me because it did work not long time ago
but the bitrate was low

[WrittenSkate]

do older versions of moonlight work and not have this problem?

[Neverends4]

1.6 by far is already the most stable/usable version for wiiu I am afraid.
1.5 is not stable for reconnection.
I am on wired NIC btw. If using wireless then the bit rate can not go anything higher than 5000 before reporting -1 error, probably due to the actual wireless connection speed.
On wired NIC at least you can go around 13000 without interruption, but the streaming is not smooth, if using Papaya-HUD under aroma you can notice high CPU usage (100% single core for display and ARM core for maybe data decryption?). Go beyond 13000 you will still receive -1.
