Logmein Rescue 7.5 Update has Rendered my Rescue Un-Usable
I have updated to the 7.5 yesterday and it is terrible!
It has rendered my Logmein Rescue unusable!
The crazy part is, it said it would decrease lag, and it actually made it so laggy that I cannot do anything for my customers.
So far, on four different sessions, I can see the customer moving their mouse, and they are telling me what is in front of them, but my screen is up to a minute behind.
I am suddenly thrust back into the dark ages of working at an internet tech support job, circa 2001, when there was not remote support, and I would guide customers strictly over the phone through speech.

Hello @tuomassavonius
Yes, the issues that resulted in this thread have both been resolved.
There were two outstanding issues (both resolved in May 2022):
- Tech console latency in certain environments
- Failure to elevate to admin rights on initial attempt
To download the newest LIVE Rescue 7.50 Technician Console, version 7.50.3541 - please use one of the following (dependent on account type):

Is there any news on this? I would like to update our rescue to use the newest version, but I am hesitant if the beta fixes haven't worked and aren't released to production.

I'm sorry to hear that cmassone - I noticed that you were actively troubleshooting with our Inbound Support Team - I will let them continue with that route as the issue you are experiencing may be a different one at this point than the one the Beta was released to fix.

no improvement

cmassone and All:
We are happy to announce that there is a Beta version available that includes the fix for the above known issue.
If you are impacted, please download and install the Rescue Tech Console 7.50.3541 (Beta)
Thank you for your continued patience as we work to resolve this issue.
Please note: Beta is not supported on Mac OS or the EU environment

Thank you for your continued patience. We have identified an issue causing high latency in certain situations when using the Rescue 7.50 Tech Console. The issue is being investigated at a high priority, we apologize for any inconvenience. Please continue to follow this thread to be emailed for updates. Please find the two workarounds below.
Option 1: Turn off Next Gen Media Service within the Tech Console:
- In the upper left, click on Options
- Select "Use classic screen transfer"
Please Note: The selection will be remembered for future sessions, it will not need to be selected each time.
Option 2: Disable NextGen media for Technician Groups in the Admin Center:
- Select Tech Group in the tree on the left
- Go to Permissions
- Add a checkmark to the last option "Disallow media stream in Rescue sessions for technicians"
- Click Save
Please Note: The above will not discontinue ALL media streams, only the NextGen media streams. The Technicians will revert back to Classic media streams as normal.

I upgraded to this version and every session I have with a customer is extremely slow to the point where I am getting really frustrated and thinking of dumping your product.
Every click every letter I type is over 20 seconds delayed
I have to pause and restart my sessions constantly
You guys need to fix this ASAP!!!
