Game freezing while discord streaming

Bluetooth Streaming Crash

Noticed an issue that started roughly 2-3 months ago.  If I am streaming in discord with a Bluetooth headset enabled, it will crash or freeze up the game in certain game modes.  Noticed it in TB zones and GAC.  I am able to replicate this 100% of the time.  It seems to be very specific to Bluetooth enabled and specific game modes while streaming as it does not happen outside of screen sharing.

Happening on both iPhone 14 Pro and iPad, iOS18.0.1 and using discord to share the screen.  Attached a link to show what is happening.  Ally code is 867367149.

On a side note, some with Android are having problems streaming as it shuts off their mic, this started around the same time.  Not the same issue but possibly related.

    It sounds like a Discord issue with Bluetooth headsets. Try updating your headset firmware and Discord app. If you need a better streaming setup, check out Magis TV for more solutions. Hope that helps!

  • Your issue with game freezing during Discord streaming with a Bluetooth headset seems to be a conflict between the app, Bluetooth protocols, and your devices' iOS version. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the problem:

    iOS-Specific Fixes:

    1. Update Your Apps: Ensure both Discord and the game are updated to their latest versions. Developers often release patches to address such compatibility issues.
    2. Check iOS Updates: iOS 18.0.1 might have introduced a bug. Check for newer updates that may resolve this.
    3. Reset Bluetooth Settings:
      • Go to Settings > Bluetooth.
      • Forget your Bluetooth device and reconnect it.
    4. Try Wired Headphones: If possible, switch to wired headphones to test if Bluetooth is the root cause.

    Discord-Specific Adjustments:

    1. Enable Hardware Acceleration:
      • Go to Discord settings (User Settings > Voice & Video).
      • Toggle hardware acceleration on or off to see if it helps.
    2. Lower Streaming Quality:
      • In Discord, reduce your stream quality to 720p or lower and limit the frame rate.

    Broader Fixes:

    1. Clear App Cache: Clearing Discord and the game's cache can help eliminate conflicts.
    2. Test Without Bluetooth: Stream the game without a Bluetooth device connected to confirm if the issue persists.

    Android Users' Mic Issues:

    The Android mic issue might stem from the same core update or Discord's permissions. Encourage Android users to check microphone permissions in Settings > Apps > Discord > Permissions and toggle their input/output device settings within Discord.

    Additional Tools:

    If the issue persists, you might consider alternate screen-sharing options or streaming tools until a fix is available. For example, apps like MagisTV can offer a seamless streaming experience for various media. You can explore the official website, to learn more about its capabilities, especially for entertainment-focused streaming. While it won't fix Discord issues directly, it could be a reliable alternative for sharing content.

  • If your game freezes while streaming on Discord, it might be due to high CPU or GPU usage or Magistv. Try lowering the game’s graphics settings and disabling unnecessary background applications. Ensure both Discord and your graphics drivers are updated. You can also enable hardware acceleration in Discord settings for better performance.

  • It seems like you're encountering a conflict between Discord, Bluetooth protocols, and your device's iOS version. Here's a concise guide to resolving this issue:

    1. iOS Fixes: Update both Discord and iOS, reset Bluetooth connections, or try wired headphones.
    2. Discord Tweaks: Enable hardware acceleration, lower streaming quality, and clear the app cache.
    3. Testing: Confirm if the issue persists without Bluetooth or by trying alternate streaming tools like MagisTV, which offers seamless entertainment-focused streaming.

  • It seems like you're experiencing an issue where the game freezes or crashes while streaming through Discord with Bluetooth enabled, especially in certain game modes like TB zones and GAC. Since you're able to replicate this consistently, it seems to be a Bluetooth-related problem that affects specific game modes while streaming. This could be related to the Bluetooth connection or a compatibility issue between Discord, iOS, and Bluetooth devices.

    As for the issue with Android users having their mic shut off, it seems like a broader streaming-related issue that might be affecting multiple platforms. It's a good idea to check for updates both for Discord and your iOS or Android devices to see if any of these have fixes for Bluetooth or streaming bugs.

    I’ve run into the same annoying game freezing issue while streaming on Discord with my Bluetooth headset! It’s super frustrating, especially in TB zones and GAC. I’ve noticed it’s tied to screen sharing and specific modes too. Since you mentioned it’s happening on your iPhone and iPad, I wonder if it’s an iOS thing—or maybe even Discord. For a smoother experience, I’ve been switched to Doooflix.com for now, and it ensures a seamless, high-quality streaming experience with no freezes.
