RDM Mac : FreeRDP : Performance Best Settings

RDM Mac : FreeRDP : Performance Best Settings

Hi .. Been giving the Mac version of RDM a go, to connect to some local Windows boxes.

Even though they're on the LAN, I am getting moments where the graphics engine isn't as 'smooth' as I would like it.
(It obviously redraws the screen in block pattern, and the cursor a tad sluggish).

From checking the active processes, RDM is using FreeRDP for a connection.

Are there some 'best' settings to getting nice performance from this ?
I know dropping the colour down to 16bit, and stopping Windows doing it's fancy window effects.

But I see a bunch of settings, and I wonder which of them is going to improve or slow the connection.

Hi Ivan,

When it comes to performance, most of what is under the Experience tab can be uncheck to improve performances (under the Allow the following label).

If you're using the Default configuration, I'd also try changing the Codec level from 7 to 8 in the Preferences (under Session Type -> RDP -> General).

Also, some users have experienced performance issue with the recently added Metal Rendering Engine. You can try switching it back to OpenGL (also under Session Type -> RDP -> General in the Preferences).

Best regards,
