Describe the Bug
So this issue started recently I've made sure everything is up to date and nothing has changed. For some reason this issue only happens on my XBOX ONE S and it's like screen tearing but I've experimented with the Vsync and bitrate, framerate/refresh rate etc... and so far, nothing has helped. The issue only happens on my xbox all other platforms are fine, Linux/windows/android. it gets much better when I "show logs" but then latency drops. I have tried a few non "Stable" version and haven't gotten anywhere
