FAQ

Why is my game lagging/my quality is bad?

You might not have VA-API support enabled on your system. To check if it's the case, run the app from the terminal and see if you get any errors related to VA-API.

If you do, please refer to your's distro's documentation on how to install and enable it.

You will also need libva-utils installed so the program can verify you have VA-API enabled. It contains the vainfo command, which will tell you if you have VA-API support enabled. It might be under a different name depending on your distro.

Why do I keep getting logged out?

This is an issue on Microsoft's side. If you click on the "Sign in" button, it will log you in again without a need to enter your credentials.
