After further investigation it turned out to be a bug in the authentication code.
Ive put the ports back to how they were and port 21 is working fine now.
Are we talking about PBXRecorder or PBX? The two are unrelated, right?
As for two FFPMEGs and PBX, it has to rotate the video mainly. It does two passes for performance reasons. Grabbing HD and UHD via GDI is slow.
Okay. In witch case. Put something like this in the startup folder and delete what you have. Tested just a couple of days ago. Probably works straight out the box for you.
StartGameEx.bat
Game manager goes over web server, https. So ISPs would not throttle that.
Again, I think ISPS just throttle FTP these days. Particular on residential lines.
Ive found issues with port 21 in recent years while SSH (normally port 22) works well.
I believe the issue is that ISPs throttle port 21 and not 22 because it is ssh.
Ill see what I can do and maybe move browsing and upload to another port. Then provide 22 too.
I don't think it's ram myself but hard issue to track down. 64 bit version of pinballx will be able to utilize more ram even with 4gb but if its a memory leak it's a bug regardless. Not sure if it's one I introduced so that's why I said try an older version so I can track it down.
I have seen this but am a loss right now. If you could tie it down to a particular version or a version where it doesn't happen it would help.
My best shot would be that you have some corrupt wheel images.
Cheers.
Tom.
