Hey gang. In recent weeks I've been having an issue crop up when playing on the {FITH} TF2 server. Sometimes when a lot is happening in the game I lose my connection with the aforementioned message. Seems to occur when the server is full and a lot of people are talking at once or a lot happens on screen at the same time, usually the former. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Anything I can do on my end to fix this?
I think it's the first problem, but I'm not sure why it's been happening in recent weeks. I got that message 3-4 times in a half hour period a week ago, so that night I just muted everyone on my side to be able to play and had no issues after. I unmuted everyone the next day, but haven't had it in the last few days even with a full server. So I have no idea what really causes it.
I have this issue as well, it seems to happen when more than ~6 people are talking on the mic at once. I added -rate 80000 to my launch options. I hope that works. Thanks Gary.
You can add/modify: rate "80000" to <drive>\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\cfg\config.cfg The number is flexible. I've used 60000 for some time and haven't had the buffer overflow error since.
