Anyone else having severe bandwidth limitation?

I used to have stable 70 mbps for 3 months and now it bounces up and down and limits itself to 4.5 mbps and less and more etc.

Anyone else?

#

My connection is Great from local device to internet box, and all shadow tests I have superb stats.

Obvviously something changed on Shadows end since nothing changed on my end and eeven on a different network i have the exact same issues.

More details needed. Where do you experience the limitation? While watching the stats in the quick menu? If so, the launcher will only consume as much bandwidth as needed to show the stream. If there is just the desktop and nothing running, it won't use much bandwidth as it is not needed.

If you mean something else, explain it in detail.

I only use flight simulators on shadow and code so this is a big killer.

Never ever experienced this.

#

I will be flying and heard the latency kick in because the audio cuts for a sec and then I start having input delay.

Reconnecting usb forwarding fixes it but that is a hassle when it occurs every 3 mins

#

And it also occurs with no device connected, so keyboard has input delay as well.

can you screenshot the shadow overlay graphs just after the issue?

This started April 5th btw.

Was completely fine before

Is it manually set or on auto?

#

There's nothing in the changelog that would cause this app wise. Although on the 7th there was an update to Beta that improves ShadowUSB service, so might be worth getting out the Beta if you're already on manual set bandwidth.

on Manual, 70 mbps, just got an ethernet cable, gonna see if that helps.

#

Seems like my usb ports have diff performance.

Swapped to the best one with the lan cable with 250 mbps down, 700 mbps up and 32 latency

#

i dont see why i would have any issues now, just upgraded to beta too gonna test.

did a 10 min test, had pure raw input! 🤍😊

How do I switch to shadow beta ?

#

So the high latency fixed by switches to beta ?

#

Doesn’t look like OP had issues with high latency though but you can see if Beta works for you, either download from the Beta channel pinned messages once you added the role or get from the Shadow website downloads page.

because it just started happening out of nowhere

#

my shadow was running smooth

#

till the month of aprill then everything started lagging giving me the same issues he did

#

had broken pixels on my screen loading up shadow and my mous cursor was laggy tot he point i coulnt even press anything

#

when i closed shadow it wouldnt let be open it back

pulsar coral
#

what i did to fix was

  • use ethernet cable
  • switch to beta
#

But it sucks, I don't know, mine used to run completely fine till april as well so...

Support had this to say:

"Everything moves along pretty smoothly with the latency that we would expect up until hop 19, where we can see a 3000ms increase in latency from the previous node. This means that this networking node is reaching capacity, where no further bandwidth is available, so it slows down traffic for all Users being routed through there. You and many other Users are most likely being routed through here due to an issue with the node(s) that you were being routed through previously, which is why you had a usable Shadow experience before."

#

Indeed a shadow issue, not user issue.
