Mena Rikios Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I've been running into this for a while now. I'll type some in nearby chat or DMs and the entry will duplicate itself. I am using the latest Firestorm release (64-6.4.13.63251) on a Windows 10 desktop. I uninstalled the viewer for several months and used the viewer on my laptop instead. While I did not run into the same issue, running the viewer tends to overheat my laptop. So, I reinstalled it on my desktop and didn't have the issue for at least a week and now it's happening again. I've seen that it could be a wifi issue, but both my laptop and desktop are on the same wifi. I am unable to hardwire my desktop. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!

Profaitchikenz Haiku Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) First thoughts are you're wearing something that listens to the owner and echoes it back. I'd suggest trying the LL viewer first because if you have anything with RLV-scripting,( which Firestorm supports), it won't work with the LL viewer. After that, try removing anything scripted you're wearing. Edited July 24, 2021 by Profaitchikenz Haiku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before switching viewers, it didn't seem like I was sending double chats as it's only showing up once for me. buuut the recipient is receiving duplicate chats. So...next suggestion?

sandi Mexicola Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I assume you tried in a different region? Also, are you using Norton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aishagain Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) @Mena RikiosYou state that you are using WiFi. That is the source of your problems, though I'll be honest and say I don't know the reason other than it has to do with the pulsed nature of WiFi data transfer (that is all I have been told, sorry). That's not really going to be much use to you since you state that you cannot used a wired connection, though you might try restarting the router/modem and perhaps use the other frequency that is available to most routers. Also I assume you are using the bandwidth setting of a maximum of 500Kbps that is recommended for WiFi connections (though with most data using http delivery why this matters is less clear to me). I hope that someone with a better knowledge and understanding of WiFi can give you more assistance. Edited July 25, 2021 by Aishagain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansariel Hiller Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 It usually happens if there is more than one WiFi access point and they all think they are responsible, duplicating the network messages. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardy Lay Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) ... or WiFi repeaters ... repeaters ... repeaters. I have seen some silly WiFi "range extender" behavior. I have also seen some long multi-path weirdness. Both types of echos SHOULD be discarded by the WiFi adapters, but, some some are just crap.

Mena Rikios Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Thank you all for your advice and suggestions. Ironically we had a quick little power outage and when everything came back no more duplicate chats! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
