Original Post — Direct link

In the past few weeks I had been getting DCed a lot when spectating after finishing races early. Then I remembered that around the time when the DCs started, I had turned off special spectator music in the audio settings.

Now I turned it back on and I’ve played some games and so far I haven’t had any DCs. So I recommend people having DCs when spectating to check if this setting is on or off and turn it back ON.

If it’s already on for you (it will likely be, because it’s on by default) and if you’re not having DCs, it would still be nice if you turned it off just to test if you’ll start getting DCs or not. If you start getting DCs, that pretty much confirms my theory that this setting is bugged and causes DCs in spectator mode.

I posted this in the server issues chat on Discord as well to get more people to test this. Hopefully this helps other people like it helped me and we can get the devs to fix this problem.

And here I am, interested in programming as a hobby, wondering how this can have this possible connection. It's like the speed Bug on jump Showdown after changing the direction of the arrows on the lower beam.

Good catch, if that is really the reason for it! Big thumbs up from me!

Do we need to tag someone higher up to get this recognized? u/trichoglossusbee said she looks through "New" often, but better safe than sorry ;)

I usually am off for the weekend so thanks for the tag :D I'll send this thread on to the team as it's really interesting to read! I'm not sure our answers lie here, but if /u/_Knightmare_ has seen a marked decrease in disconnects, it's worth a look into!!
