I haven't seen this happen yet. Is there any pattern to this behaviour?

most likely related to long lived connections. this problem has existed in Tor since forever, and made me lose hope in it back in 2007 (i was early).

If you had it use a Tor router that makes a new route every hour would that help? Thats been my setup so idk if thats why I haven't experienced it yet

are you running simplex through it directly?

Yea, you can specify a SOCKS5 port in Network and Servers so I set it to a local Tor router

it might be that cuts out at least one potentially unreliable hop in teh path, that's a 33% decrease in drop-out frequency.

I haven't noticed a pattern yet. In the Nostriches group, we found that we all had different numbers for users in the group. Dropped messages have been confirmed with screenshots, and I've detected dropped messages about 3-5 times from noticing people posting to messages I have not seen.

It sucks, because I really liked the features that were promoted, and now I can't trust it as a communication tool. I definetly cannot recommend it to others. 😥

Oh! Okay, I haven't even been able to get enough people to make a group. I feel security concerns would have the other group members populate the missing data for others after the relay deletes it but idk the specifica.

Now I want to look at the documentation to see where they talk about group chat specifics.
