That's what mine was doing! Shooting to 90%+ and lagging! So uninstall and reinstall?
Yes it worked for me and I'm glad to see it worked for you too. Sometimes it is a case of 'turning it off and then back on' so to speak to fix tech issues, make sure you download a new file for the broadcaster from SM though don't use an old download file.
Voila back to running at 40-50% now.

I haven't gone a half hour with no one coming in but today there would be 5 minutes at a time when no one did and that happened quite often. I was starting to wonder if something was wrong with the site.

No prob, I hope you can roll back. You gotta go to settings area. It happened to me and I panicked but was able to roll back and all is working properly.
I've actually waited too long. I should've looked into it sooner. Oh well, c'est la vie.
I appreciate your help though!

Let's say two people came into my room and left in less than 30 seconds.
Really scaring =O

A few of you have mentioned in here before a lot of nudity in free chat. I was on tonight and saw what you meant. One of the girls doing it was a top performer on MFC and I guess cams on SM now. She was flashing her vag in free chat and pulling her panty into her vag to expose her lips. This is an issue SM is going to have to address and not ignore. Also performers from token sites need to read the rules of SM and respect them since this isnt a token site. Dont let it get some of you down. The really good guys dont want to see that in free chat, they WILL pay to take you private to see you naked.

How many times is all the other stuff against the TOS ignored on sm? How many times do top models get to sell panties ect? What are they going to do about it? Prob not a damn thing.

From what we can gather over the years about rule enforcement:
- SM doesn't actually use their staff to police models 24/7
- They DO react to reports and screenshots sent to them...they count on rival models and studios to report these things.
- Top models are not immune to being suspended and banned.
- What they generally don't do is immediately pull the plug, even with reports. As soon as she logs off or goes on break, the suspension hits.
If it bothers you, snapshot it and send it in. We generally reserve it for when we see/hear kids on cam. I've been in the position too many times that a bug made me think I was still in private and there's some benefit of the doubt in those situations.

Some models have emails saying its ok to sell panties as long as Liz is not alerted they are scamming customers.
This is what I have been told by models that sell panties so it is what it is.
We all know some have privileges others dont

Agreed but if we dont ignore the issues and keep talking about them, they will have to address it at some point. Change only happens when you keep fighting for it.

I have an e-mail that says I can post my Twitter in my room topic but I dont. If we cant all do it, than Im not going to do it. I believe we all should have the same guidelines and not just pick and choose who gets special privileges. The panty selling however shouldnt be allowed since it breaks the rules they have listed on their own site about off site customer contact. I suggested to Liz to make a store so performers can sell the items on SM and not be breaking any rules. Its a win/win situation that would be extra money for all of us.

I just would hate they would take 35% but thats a good idea.

Agreed totally. BUT, money talks and the rule breakers are making hella $$$$ for the site.

I really think it's time we do something about this. It isn't right that some get special privileges and some don't. That's just pure bullshit. I watched a top model awhile back who flat out was selling her panties during her gold show. You can tell she was kind of undertone with it, but she told the guy "yes i do" after he asked. Then she mentioned his name and told her to message after the show for them. She's a high earner so it was okay *eye roll*. Eventually this site will get what's coming to them, one way or another.

Having an issue with the SMbroadcaster tonight - everytime I try to log in , it gives me this error : "Unable to login , please try again or contact support if the problem persists.
Error description: Server contact failed ( check internet connection ) "
I have no idea why , never had this happen before and was able to cam with the FMLE file just fine, my internet is working as usual. Totally confused, have I been missing something? Im not on Windows 10 either. Anyone know why this is? Thank you.

The SM broadcaster is using 100% of my CPU on my HP from 2015. Did an uninstall & reinstall. It didn't fix the issue. I need to get hubby to give me back the damn new Core i7 because I'm going nuts here.

^^ I don't use the broadcaster, I still use the old encoder. I do use the C920 and completely forgot about the Windows 10 upgrade breaking the C920. But when I did that, I did log on to MFC and CB and it worked fine there. I don't know any tech stuff, but at least it worked with them. But every time I tried to start the encoder, it wouldn't work or find the cam. Damn.
I did figure out how to roll back my lap top and DISABLE all auto updates. Now my encoder/C920 work fine again on SM. But I wondered about the broadcaster/C920 with the Windows 10 upgrade?
If you run the broadcaster with the C920 and do the Windows update, does it work?

Last night when I was online there were 1800 online around 11pm? So strange. Now it's Wednesday morning and it's already hectic like it's Friday.
Has anyone noticed huge spikes in models online during random times lately?
During this time when I'd start FMLE id get a "server is busy" notification and it's take me a few tries to reconnect

Has anyone had issues with sound in exc? I was in a ex block last night when custie started saying "speak louder I can't hear" so I raised my voice to the point my throat felt sore and yet he still couldn't hear me. Since I couldn't speak up any louder he got annoyed and left.
I don't feel bad since there's nothing more I could do. At one point he was like I can't hear over your music and there wasn't even music on.

Yes, I've noticed that. Maybe SM has stepped up their 'recruiting' game.
You know, "Why go to college, when You can stay at home in Your undies and make up to $10,000 per week?"
Lol!

SM probably knows a lot of us are in the process of bailing so for the sake of their business recruitment is a huge part of the prpcess.
Yeah! Doesn't *everyone* know we make 10k a week at home in our undies??! *laughs*
1800 models on a Tuesday night???
...woah.
It was also busy and quiet last night. 10+ ppl in my room but 1 person talking. At one point 25 ppl no one taking.

Thank you for confirming!!! Ughhh i was at the point last night where I couldn't talk any louder without YELLING and my neighbors hearing me so I just said fuck it. Even if I was screaming the sound issue might not be resolved...and who wants to SCREAM for an entire 15 min block?
We're all doing our best. The site was really glitchy last night.

What's the deal with all these girls using interactive toys and being pretty much nude in free chat on SM? Not trying to sound rude, just curious cause it seems like that would work better on token sites anyways?

Honestly I just wanted to work from home, I wasnt sure what I would make but I hoped it would be at least a grand. I started on PrivateCams and made 2500 a week at least. I miss those days, you just had to log on looking nice and people bought shows.

They arent supposed to be using them in free chat and charging people. I have an email about it from Liz, Ill have to search for it in my email. You can use them in shows but not fuck them in free chat.

I notice this anytime it has been slow for any length of time. More ladies/guy are getting on at times they normally wouldn't in the hopes of actually making $$$. In reality it's like 100 rats trying to get on a floating bagel in hopes of surviving.

God now all I can think about are rats on bagels.
its not my imagination when there are more than 1700 models online I have a very difficult time staying connected and people are just wandering in and out. Just having so many choices and girls to berate for free is a field day for these losers.
I've notice a huge influx of people in my room this week and none of them Know how to behave in a cam room. The level of entitlement and nerve is ridiculous.
"U should show it to me bc this is what ur here for"
Type of scum. Seriously, I made more doing PSO in one night this week than 3 days on SM.

I cammed for the first time on SM yesterday...I could only stomach it for 45 minutes before I switched sites. It was beyond cringe worthy of how bad it was. Not to mention, their technology needs an update because it made me lag which I have *never* experienced before while camming elsewhere (*cough* mfc *cough*). I have high speed internet (53.70 download & 15.07 upload) so I don't understand why it was lagging other than it was their interface/software/technology. I didn't even check to see how much cpu it may have been taking up. I really dont think it was on my side though because I have never lagged like that before camming elsewhere.

Same here. Was a huge disappointment for me as I heard lot of good things about SM. My first day was Sunday and it was a total crap. In half an hour had like 5 guys coming in and out my room is less than 3 seconds. I was seriously surprised. Didn't expect to be this bad. I was blaming on the fact that I am Brazilian but I can see you're American so apparently is crap not just for me

After Streamgate last year we've all been optimistic. (Customers included!) but it's pretty obvious with contests, low quality traffic, and TERRIBLE technical glitches Streamate is what it is. It's not getting better or worse. It's the site u wanna do Gold Shows for, the site u wanna slave for contests and gimmicks.
I'm lucky if I make 1k a week on here - I used to make 3k. The hours it would take me to make my previous salary would be 60+ hours. no thanks. It's not that I avoid hard work but SM is just abusive at times. Like why is this loser STILL coming into my room asking me if I will tell him to fuck his daughter? I banned him took a screenshot and reported it to SM...why is this guy still here?!

I have to say that it is a relief to at least know that it wasn't just me with the lack of traffic. For a place who states that paying for traffic is what makes them stand out from other cam sites...seems like quite the joke from where I stand.
