Solved IVC DSP Based on Server Position Rather than Client
-
Understood, but from what I can see the ‘outsiders’ .ini option affects players not in 3D. My issue occurs for players in 3D.
Yes, it is a very curious issue, but 100% reproducible. As we fly further from the server, my wingmen report a slow degradation in quality and then eventual nocomm when flying off my wing. I assume what is causing it is related to the network. I am the only one affected (people can’t hear me) and I am on the same LAN as the server. Other clients have no problems between each other, its only with my client.
Additionally (because none of us are on static IPs) we are using zerotier (Hamachi equivalent) to get around port forwarding requirements. I presume it is being caused by something related to this. It has been flawless aside from this issue.

I have a 24/7 server with a server located far from the flot…
Never had any feedback on it…
The fact that you’re using a private VPN network might not be helping…
Could it be degrading because there is too much data to go through the line at some point?
Don’t forget that your bubble is away from server and will require you to share more data…

Thanks Max. The connection is 900Mbps, so it shouldn’t be bottlenecked there. I guess it might be something in the network settings.
The server is also affected. I can frag a flight on the opposite side of the map to the server and have clear comes both ways. So somehow the server thinks my position is the same as it’s own.
-
Sorry but I have no idea why your setup is doing this and I am 99% confident that this is working fine on my server so far (I don’t connect server to IVC anyway)…
-
@MaxWaldorf No problem, thanks Max. The discussion has raised a few other things I can try (including not joining server to IVC). Cheers.

Well I have now paid for a static IP from my ISP so I don’t have to use ZeroTier, and still the same problem unfortunately!
Have also tried:
-not connecting server to IVC
-connecting to server via LAN IP
-connecting to server via WAN IP
-hosting IVC on a different PCStill no luck. If anyone has any ideas let me know, I’m pulling my hair out! I assume its something in my router config…
-
Is it just you affected or others hear them well between themselves?
Other question… Do you and the server have the same callsign?
-
@MaxWaldorf All other clients are not affected. Just me. They can’t hear me, but can hear each other.
No, server has a different callsign, although the first word is the same. Ie server = ‘Kai Server’, and my callsign is ‘Kai’. Perhaps I should try changing that?
Cheers

Try to avoid same root for callsign

This seems to be the same thing that we discovered when testing for the same issue with F4RADAR operators being masked/attenuated. Switching the names fixes it (and that’s also mentioned in the F4RADAR instructions).

Thank you very much Max and Ripper. This was the issue.
Although the pilot names were different, mine and the server callsigns began with the same three letters. Changing the callsign of the server has resolved the issue.
Thanks again, this can be marked as solved.
