Known Issues:
- Location Services on macOS may cause periodic lag and stuttering on Wi-Fi due to background network scans. To avoid the issue, disable Location Services on your Mac by going to "System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Location Services"
- Remote desktop mouse mode and touchscreen input may behave incorrectly when the host PC has more than one monitor. This bug is on Nvidia's end and will require a GeForce Experience update to fix.
- Touchscreen support can be buggy on Linux (X11) when mouse capture is enabled. You may need to enable remote desktop mouse mode for it to work correctly.
