![]() The most common causes of this issue are: I'll also see if other laptops in the house have the same problem or just mine.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. I'll try to take a screenshot when I get home from work. Although, mine looks more like a ramp than yours where it's like jagged spikes. When I enabled debugging I saw the lag spikes. I was just using it without problems for like 2-3 days then suddenly it's that Slow Network thing. Didn't install any software, didn't change any configurations, nothing. ![]() Yeah but I literally didn't change anything. ![]() I wouldn't give up testing things like physical router placement, radio interference from cordless phones or microwaves, and checking for software on the client and host that might be spiking bandwidth (slow network) or CPU use (slow decode). Either software that was rhythmically hogging the network wifi bandwidth, or some radio-based interference to my network. I have to assume the problem was something on my network. Originally posted by Deft:Several months later, I still use in-home-streaming but never figured out what was causing these weird crippling spikes: Thanks in advance - I will continue to research and fiddle as well. I know IHS works, and I know my hardware can support it, but I don't know what control I have over tweaks to get it working again.ĭoes anyone share my frustration, or can you offer any advice / suggestions? There are only so many settings to play with on the host and client in steam. Hard factory reset of router and new network setup Turning off wifi encryption on the home network Reading threads on this forum looking for peformance hacks and tweaks Uninstalling and reinstalling steam on laptopĭisabling hardware encoding on both machinesĮnabling IHS logging and trying to figure out that mess Rebooting router, checking firmware, using wifi laptop from 5 feet awayĭisconnecting all other devices (wired and wifi) from router Replacing the network cable between host and router. IHS is an amazing tool, kudos to valve! I just don't know why it stopped working, and furthermore, I don't know what I can do about it! There are only so many settings! I can't figure out if it's the router, or software, or. What would cause these weird chaotic bursts? My outgoing bitrate spikes by 4 times or so. I will have smooth perfect frame rates for about 5-8 seconds, and then 1-2 seconds of total chaos, followed by another 5-8 seconds of smooth rates. Here is the nature of the behavior specifically: Trine is playable, but only because it's a safe puzzle game and latency doesn't kill you. The framework skipping is too poor to play any twitch games (Call of Duty) or games where imminent death is always looming (Shadow of Mordor, Gauntlet). I now get frequent "slow decode" and "slow network" messages. Without changing any settings that I'm aware of, or any hardware setup, I've lost that ability in the last 3 weeks. ![]() It was a beautiful thing and saved me MUCH spouse aggro (spouse watches TV, I game quietly on the laptop, cuddle time, all is well with the world) I was running Call of Duty MW2, Shadow of Mordor, Gauntlet, Trine 2, etc, and was using an xbox 360 wired controller for most of them. IHS Hardware Decoding, Fast, Limit to Desktop ResolutionĪ few months ago when I set up in-home-streaming for the first time it worked brilliantly. IHS Hardware Encoding, Prioritize Network TrafficĪpple Macbook air laptop running OSX Yosemite 10.10.2 This recently started, everything used to be fine. Everything will be smooth smooth smooth for 5-6 seconds, then a 1-2 second jump in outgoing bitrate, high frame drop rates, then repeat. TL DR - I'm experiencing odd spikes in latency that make IHS unplayable.
