A few days ago, my skype updated itself. On the day it updated, as well as three days after, skype would be super delayed in sending messages (most would take 20 minutes to send just one thing), and the issue would eventually be resolved by having skype open for around three hours, at which point it would resume functioning normally only to have the same issue when I started it up again later. It's been fine today (hasn't updated itself either, which confuses me a lot), but I was wondering if anybody had an idea as to why it was like that, and how I can prevent this from happening in future.
Mine updated itself automatically a while ago, too, and I haven't had any problems. There's a possibility it may be your computer, although I'm obviously not 100% sure. What are your specs?
AMD Phenom(tm) II P920 Quad-Core Processor 1.60 GHz 4 GB RAM Not quite sure how to find out other things about it lol
I had similar problems when my Skype updated. Eventually I just rolled back to an older version, but you could try going into your options, Advanced > Connection, and toggling 'Enable uPnP.'
Mine just hates if I have too much running at the same time. Skype? Okay. Firefox? Sure. Steam in the background? You got it. FireAlpaca too? AW HELL NAW. Maybe you have too many processes too?
I don't think that's the issue. Everything else works fine, but even when I tried to run purely skype, nothing else, it was still screwing up.
It's been done, and yes it's allowed through my firewall. As I said in the OP, this is a problem I had that I'm working to try and prevent it in the future, not a current one.
