Shownet - Laser Glitch and Maxmimum number of lasers able to connect

ShowNET gives glitches in it’s output, seems like buffer problems and is dependent on the FPS of the project.

Also: as soon as i connect more then 16 showNET lasers Touchdesigner instantly crashes when i select showNET in the new laser device chop. This happens on Mac(Sonoma 14.3) and Windows 11 in TD Build: 2023.11340 and 2023.12000

Both problems are non existant in Madmapper/Madlaser so eventual Network problems on my side are ruled out. Both problems also happen in a (almost) empty Touchdesigner file, just a laser device out. The maximum amount of devices seems to be 16.

Windows crashes cold, Mac gives a crash report :

TouchDesigner-2024-09-30-120901.zip (20.2 KB)

I have a project next week with 30+ showNET lasers, and this would be quite catastrophic ! i hope there can be a unnoficial build which i can test asap.

Thanks in advance,
