      Hello everyonel,
      I have choppy video and audio on all my games on RetroPie. I have my Pi connected through HDMI to a Samsung Smart TV 4K UHD. I have tried multiple configurations recommend on this forum and docs(either I have failed to apply this recommendations, either those weren't the solution). I don't quite know how to continue from here on.
      More details:

      • Pi Model: 3B+
      • Power Supply used: EU 2.5 A 5.1 V
      • RetroPie Version Used: 4.8.6
      • Built From: RetroPie built on top of Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 - headless instalation
      • Controller used: Logitech F710
      • Verbose log: Runcommand.log
      • Attachment of config files:
        -- /boot/config.txt --
        hdmi_group=1
        hdmi_mode=16

      Thanks in advance!

        Don't run RetroPie from the desktop environment (X11), this is not a supported configuration. Start the front-end (EmulationStation) from the command line and continue from there. You're also using a shader applied by default - remove the shader and see if that makes the games more playable.
