Moonlight PC: Game-Streaming-Client in Version 6.2.0 veröffentlicht

Moonlight PC, ein quelloffener Client zum Streamen von PC-Spielen, wurde in der Version 6.2.0 veröffentlicht.

Das Update bringt einen neu geschriebenen KMSDRM-Renderer mit Atomic Modesetting, VRR und ALLM, Vulkan-Rendering unter Linux ohne Desktop-Umgebung sowie Unterstützung für DualSense Adaptive Triggers. Außerdem wurden drei Sicherheitslücken (CVE-2026-33546, CVE-2026-33547, CVE-2026-41210) behoben, und die Standardauflösung für Neuinstallationen ist jetzt 1080p.

Behavior Changes:

  • Default macOS renderer is now libplacebo (using MoltenVK), changeable in Advanced Settings
  • Most video renderers use full range color instead of limited range
  • Cursor locks to video area in single display borderless windowed mode
  • Cursor no longer captured by default in windowed mode; use Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Z to capture
  • Game Mode re-enabled on macOS
  • Metal renderer supported on discrete GPU Macs
  • HDR metadata used for tonemapping on macOS
  • CLI output displays in console on Windows instead of dialog
  • Non-x86 Linux GPUs assumed slow by default; override with GL_IS_SLOW=0/VULKAN_IS_SLOW=0
  • Gamepad motion sensors disabled on Steam Link hardware
  • Default streaming resolution for new installs: 1080p (was 720p)
  • Video bitrate no longer resets when adjusting resolution/frame rate after manual adjustment

Security Fixes:

  • CVE-2026-33546, CVE-2026-33547, and CVE-2026-41210 have been fixed. These could allow malicious hosts to crash Moonlight during connection.

New Features:

  • Ctrl+Alt+Shift+K toggles system keyboard grab
  • D3D11 renderer: VRR support on Nvidia, improved performance
