Question around corrupt uploads

connorj89 · 03-10-2021, 10:51 AM

Hello!

Just a quick question, my league is multi-commissioner (we split across 3 people to share the load) and I am personally having random intermittent issues with a corrupt file uploading. It's only on my end (my co-commishes are able to step in and upload a safe file) and like I said it doesn't happen concurrently (one happened a month ago, one last week).

My question is, is there something that I'm doing wrong or a way I can fix it? I'm terrified every time I manage a sim that I'm going to upload a broken file and we'll lose our simmed games (a frustrating experience for every GM).

We've trimmed the size down by removing faces but like I said, it's been just me and not my co-commishes and randomly so I'm hoping it's not a problem like my internet connection or something that is more difficult to fix!

Hoping for any help!

I would take these steps.

1) Wired connection to your router hen you upload. Removed some packet loss possibilities.
2) Check you upload speed compared to what your ISP claims it should be. There are some popular download/upload sites.
3) Update your router firmware- just in case. When in doubt patch up.
4) I would remove all image files from the upload if you have not. Unis, Logos, etc and do that as a seasonal upload or on demand by GMs.
5) Double check to see if your anti-virus has the site you are loading to white listed.
6) Close other applications while uploading. Check the task manager and see if you have a bunch of back ground processes running that could interfere.
