### Describe the Bug

Since installing the latest version of sunshine / moonlight it crashes my display driver on the Radeon RX 9070XT whilst streaming to XBOX client. This happens within minutes of playing games like crimson desert. System is stable when not streaming and playing the same game.

Using latest Windows 11 patched version, latest Radeon drivers (June 22 2026 release).

### Expected Behavior

Not crash....

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the crash on Windows 11 with the Sunshine MSI, an ASRock RX 9070 XT, driver 26.6.2, and an Xbox client; collect the missing capture-method and log information. Done means the streaming-triggered driver failure is isolated and a verified fix or clear reproduction evidence is available.
