Boosteroid's bitrate cap is an absolute joke. Video looks like pure mud.

I'm honestly done with this. I'm on a 65 Mbps wired connection, 0 packet loss, 20-29ms ping. Everything should run completely fine.

Instead, the stream quality is genuinely unplayable. It doesn't matter that I forced H.265 or dragged the bitrate slider to 50 Mbps in the app. The stream literally refuses to go above 20-21 Mbps.

Took a quick video of my screen so you can see how bad it gets

Look at the fog and the sky. It’s not even a smooth gradient, it's just giant pixel blocks and awful color banding. The second I move the camera, the grass and terrain turn into a blurry, pixelated soup. It looks like a 480p video stretched out to 1080p.

I emailed support about it and they just hit me with the usual "record a clip, play around with the desktop app" nonsense.

Why even have a bitrate slider if your servers are hard-capping us at 20 Mbps? Is anyone else stuck at this 20-21 Mbps limit, or is their compression always this trash?
