Your system information

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

During the remote play we should have no vsync. Or it should be at the client display refresh rate.
But recently, I'm experiencing vsync locking at 30 fps for brief periods of time(0.5s ~ 1.0s) during the gameplay.

Additional info

This issue isn't happening when playing without the remote play.
This issue happens in both, windows and Linux steam link apps.
This issue affects both, native and proton games.
For some reason when downscale is involved(1920x1080 -> 1366:768), it doesn't happens.
Disabling hardware encode/decode doesn't improve the situation.
