This was my first time streaming a Skylanders game with my friend Sunaina, which was fun for the most part, but unfortunately the experience was hindered by an abundance of technical issues. I tried to continue this stream via 3 separate parts/attempts, but they all pretty much failed. Honestly I had no idea what was going on, I've never seen my PS5 face this many problems since my very first attempt at streaming on it a few months ago, which was mainly caused by my crappy wifi, so I had to switch over to a hotspot on my phone, and then the stream was working perfectly. Before you ask, yes I did use a hotspot for this stream as well, but for some reason the entire stream was still beating itself up, which doesn't make any sense. My best guess was because my controller was low on battery (in fact it died after the 2nd attempt, I think), and because that controller was connected to the main PS account (apparently the PS5 has no standard option for 2-player co-op like other consoles do, and you need to create another PlayStation account just to have a 2nd person operate the 2nd controller and play with you, which is complete BS IMO!) that was operating both the game and the stream, and when the controller's battery was dying, that's probably what was messing up the stream. Though I could be wrong. It's possible that it could also be because there were 2 of us playing, while all of my past streams I've been playing alone. It appears that for some reason (even with a hotspot connected) apparently the PS5 can't seem to handle 2 people playing while streaming at the same time. Honestly I don't even know how that works! Is it a completely different problem that I'm not aware of? If so then I'd appreciate it if somebody could help describe it to me in the comments below.
If I decide to try this with my friend again, We'll be going into it much more cautiously. I'll make sure both controllers are fully charged, the hotspot is connected, and hopefully there shouldn't be any problems. But I can't guarantee that, right now I can only pray and hope that whatever happened here doesn't happen again.
