Error Message: Packet Loss >10% / Bad Internet Connection

Solution:

If you're experiencing network connectivity issues (indicated by the flashing red Wi-Fi notification in Softdrive), try the following steps:

  1. Adjust Quality Settings:

    • Click the Softdrive Overlay/Menu and go to Quality Settings.
    • Set both Min and Max Quality Settings to 1%.
    • Ensure all other settings are set to "Auto" (selected checkboxes will appear white).
  2. Modify Frame Rate (if needed):

    • If the issue persists, uncheck "Max Frame Rate" and manually set it to 30 frames per second.
  3. Check CPU Usage:

    • Open Task Manager and check your CPU usage.
    • If it's above 80-90%, your system may not have enough resources to run Softdrive efficiently.
    • Try quitting Softdrive, closing other open programs, and then restarting Softdrive.
  4. Optimize Network Connection:

    • If possible, connect your workstation directly to your router via Ethernet.
    • Restart your router and try again.
  5. Use Built-in Troubleshooting Tools:

    • Click Troubleshoot or Reboot on the Web Dashboard.
    • For step-by-step instructions, refer to the Softdrive Onboarding Document.
  6. Restart Your Local Computer:

    • As a final step, restart your computer and try launching Softdrive again.
