Is Question RDC freezing often?
Is Question RDC freezing often?
Hi, I'm a developer working for a FiveM & Minecraft community. Because of that, I regularly use a VPS. Since starting my work here, we've had two different VPS setups and both have the same problem: the Remote Desktop Connection freezes right on me. It doesn't crash or make the whole screen unresponsive; just the part showing up on my PC gets frozen. People told me to try using Group Policy Editor to turn off TCP settings or something like that, but nothing has fixed it and it's still happening exactly as before.
I do have a slow internet connection because I live in the Welsh Countryside, which is normal for us there. But this specific issue never happened on any other computer I've owned. Any help would be really appreciated! Note: My internet caps at about 2.4Mb/s and it's connected via ethernet to my router. This isn't a bandwidth problem because only my PC and phone are plugged into the router, not all the other devices in the house.
EDIT: The actual quality of the connection to the VPS is always around 4-5 bars; it never drops below that level.
EDIT 2: There are no warning messages or error logs showing up when I do this thing. When I say "freezing," what I mean is that suddenly my screen freezes, forcing me to restart Remote Desktop Connection just to get back to working on the VPS.
VPS Specs: 10 Core Intel CPU with 16GB RAM and 200GB of storage space. It has 1TB of upload and download hosting capacity from zap-hosting.com.
My Internet provider is Sky, where I pay for whatever service they have available in my area (LOL). No data caps on the plan: 20Mb Download, 5Mb Upload.
Is VPS just Virtual Private Server? Who runs that machine? Have you talked to them yet? If yes, tell me what they said. What about RDC being Remote Desktop Connection? Please check your post for hardware details and software version on the computer you're using. Look at Reliability History and Event Viewer in Windows to see if there are any red errors or warnings that show up right before you get stuck. Maybe those 4 or 5 bars mean more power, not better quality, and a limit only stops how much data moves, not how many computers connect. Who runs your internet connection and what kind of plan do you pay for?
