Additional Required Setup Steps for Raspbian Bullseye

The newest Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye) defaults to a display driver that doesn't support Moonlight's renderer.

To fix this, you can edit the /boot/config.txt file:

1. Run sudo nano /boot/config.txt
2. Scroll down using the arrow keys until you see the line that says dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
3. Change that line to dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
4. Press Ctrl+X, press Y, then press Enter
5. Reboot your Pi
