[SOLVED] Severe Display Artifacts and Borders After Latest Spacedesk Update (Driver & App)
Quote from spacedesk Renz on 26/01/2026, 11:00Hi @stephane,
Thank you for sending your logs. The issue has been reproduced on our end and will be fixed in a later release. For the meantime, you can switch your spacedesk Viewer’s Encoding Type to “Software Encoding JPEG (force always)” as a workaround for this issue. This setting can be found in the “Compression” section in the Settings page. Thank you.

You change the Encoding Type settings on the client side, the device (phone/tablet) that connects to the Primary PC (where the spacedesk Driver is installed). To change it:
1. Open spacedesk app in your phone/tablet
2. Tap the floating menu ☰
3. Tap “Settings” > “Quality/Performance”
4. Tap “Encoding Type” and select “Software Encoding MJPEG (forced)
