Can one person's network/hardware issues kill a session for everyone?

[Hans Peter Augustesen]

Has anyone had the experience where one player's network or hardware issues can bring down the entire session for everyone?

We had this repeatedly last night, when one specific person entered the session, many others went to 100% packet loss.

He'd leave the session and everything would be normal again.

This was absolutely repeatable.

Was the player using Wi-Fi?

A bad connection - like Wi-Fi - can disturb a session.

A good connection should not disturb a session

Have been testing the system today from Wales in the UK. Because we are in lockdown then its having to be set up and tested in the same household before we invite others. If we used one machine wirelessly or without a mic then we had this 100% packet loss. 

Can you help me and tell me where you adjust for latency and packet losses please? Thanks Sue

In Manage menu there is some kind of "packet rate configuration"

I dont know excactly what it does - but it had helped at least two persons with "Packet Loss", crackling, audio breaking up etc.

Normally it should not be necessary, I think - only in special cases. But here it is:

Go to Manage
Networking
Packet Rate Configuration
There Network Packet Rate can be changed - from "Auto" ...
