Ah yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a double NAT going on and needs to put the ISP provided modem into bridge mode.

Perhaps change who’s hosting it? Since you’re in IT you probably have a computer capable of it?

Alternatively you could host a wire guard endpoint have them connect to you that way. But configuring that is a pain on Windows.

The problem is most likely on the host’s end. They need to configure port forwarding for the game.

If you’re connecting over the internet confirm you’re connecting to their WAN IP address.

There is a rare edge case that comes to mind. In server.properties look for use-native-transport and try setting it to false on the host.

Alternatively I would suggest checking if you and the host support ipv6 and use that. It’ll help avoid the problems you’re experiencing with NAT.

I haven’t tried going that far in one run. But I’ve used buses fairly often to get to other cities.

changing buses 2 times in 2 different non English speaking countries

That alone would make me not want to do it, unless you were in a country like Japan or the Netherlands with decent pubic transit and quality google maps support.

are travelers allowed to eat in the bus? Am I allowed to bring my own food?

You’re not supposed to eat meals on the bus. It doesn’t stop it from happening. It depends on the temperament of the driver. But don’t do it, the other passengers don’t wanna be suffering w/e smell on a long trip. But you can pack food and eat it at rest points. (if your route has them)

but did you ever do something like this? Any regrets?

My first time in a major city, I was too scared to ride the subway. So I took the city buses everywhere, I regret that. Changing buses in the rain, and discovering my ticket was non-transferable was a huge drag.

Just know if you do, the local scammers know the stops and will try shenanigans. Don’t fall for the guy having a heart attack trick like I did. Pay attention to how the locals and fellow travelers are behaving.

Prepare to have your mind blown.

Portable Hard Disc Drive https://pro.sony/en_GB/products/portable-storage/psz-hb-b-series

I don’t doubt the diskette comment since it’s an American invention. But sometimes this nuance shows up.

I’ve been known to use them interchangeably.

It’s British English (disc) vs American English (disk).

Edit: I present the Sony Portable Hard Disc Drive

Betrayal at House on the Hill

Great board game for 3+ people. Best with a full crew. You and your mates explore a mansion. As you explore a new room you place a tile and something can happen.

It’s meant to have a lot of replayability as each time you play there’s a booklet full of potential end games that you can trigger. Such as the mansion is burning down and you need to escape.

Potentially no manufacturers warranty if they aren’t an authorized seller.

If you buy it directly from Google it’ll be unlocked.

“will remain unlocked unless I factory reset it”

I’d stay away from anything like that, it’s unnecessary.

ERROR Insert Coin

Not when the main character is the loli. If you believe Saga of Tanya the Evil meets the standard set by the question you don’t understand the question.

In no particular order these come to mind. Most of these are outside what I typically watch, but I did enjoy them.

I think a lot of the other answers here are being too generous with your rules and not giving you characters that both look older and are older.

But I do have the option to create a separate non-mesh network from the AP

Channel 165 tends to be empty if you do try that.

If your core problem is bg3 itself crashing then I’ve gone on a silly tangent here.

You might find act 3 is more stable in dx11 mode assuming proton is up for the challenge.

Another thought of mine is that wireless devices can perform poorly if they are too close to the AP. (Like less than a meter)

I don’t get the option for channel 106

Assuming you’re not in a country that blocks the use of those channels. There is a bunch of corner cutting gear out there that won’t let you use a big chunk of the 5ghz spectrum.

If you’re shopping for new stuff look for gear that supports DFS channels in the future.

…and two AmpliFi mesh access points to provide the wifi.

Mesh networks can perform poorly for applications that are sensitive to latency and jitter. (Such as steam’s remote play)

a whole bunch of hidden networks come with it. I think this must be related to the mesh network, it’s a lot of networks though! 8 or 9 of them

It’s possible that some of those are related. My assumption is that there’s interference from your own devices and the neighbours. But a mesh network isn’t an ideal environment.

In the app, what does the width of the bar represent? It says something like Wifi_Network 157 (155) and has a big flat top that seems to cover a range.

This is indicative of the channel width. It’s a common occurrence to have a network use overlapping channels to increase performance.

The take away is that not all channels are isolated from one another and it’s possible for a network to have many of them bonded together.

With Wifi_Network 157 (155). It’s indicating that the network’s real channel 155 with a 80mhz channel width. But it’s configured to channel 157 for its beacon as not all devices will connect in 80mhz mode. 157 represents the 20mhz channel it’s configured to camp on.

Is that indicating that nearby channels can interfere with each other?

Yes.

So there’s a few issues at play.

That automatic channel changing feature is more harmful than helpful in this context.

If you’re able to lock it onto an entirely empty channel it’ll help. Try for channel 106

Do you see any overlap on yours in the graph view?

The lights were such a big deal. Took some serious compute for the era.

If I recall correctly the framework laptops have a bunch of USBC ports?

If so you could just get a USBC dongle for it.

In the meantime we can evaluate the quality of your WiFi. If you have an android phone, I find this app works fairly well for visualizing the network.

Additionally, If you have a dual band router I would suggest disabling the 2.4Ghz band unless you have any legacy devices that use it.

Check that your network isn’t overlapping with any other networks.

Are you able to connect everything involved via ethernet?

Wi-Fi can be unreliable for many reasons so being near it isn’t going to change the thought much.

A quick google suggests to me that it’s Vulkan if you are running it that way but I can’t confirm.

What may be happening is that when the connection is unstable it may not be well designed enough to handle the dropped connection gracefully to let you reconnect.

I noticed a pretty extreme difference in performance in openssh when using x11 forwarding when I touch the cipher suite.

AES128-ctr vs AES128-gcm on kubuntu 22.04.

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light into that. I’m mostly curious if it’s not using hardware acceleration when I switch it to GCM.

Are you trying to do this over ethernet or WiFi?

If you’re trying to use wifi that connection needs to be stellar for this to work well. No over-lapping channels with the neighbours and not too many clients.

If you’re experiencing this on a wired connection, look into if your gear supports jumbo frames and confirm it’s a gigabit link.

Try using Vulkan mode for BG3.
