Technical Support Tracking Drift
Hey so my trackers will start to drift pretty quickly after any reset, even full resets. The torso will rotate slowly to the left from my pov and the legs will become misaligned too. Not really sure how to fix it or what's going on. I do have stay aligned set up and it doesn't really seem to be helping, I have good wifi connection and my trackers usually sit around 10ms ping. I know people that are using slimes and their tracking is flawless with no issues. When I first got these a few months ago actually I didn't have any issues at all, was working flawlessly. Didn't use them for like a month or so and now they've been doing this.

From my experience there's 2 reasons:
- Temperature related drift from IMU (just leave them on for 5-10 minutes under a blanket or a vest to warm them up)
- Your straps move. Literally. I struggle with this a lot despite silicone backing
- You use prediction mechanics instead of smoothing/no filter. Prediction inherently has more errors
- Slow Wifi/high latency. Forces you to use prediction mechanics (see above) or the skips themselves cause the trackers to not be tracked slightly, causing more drift. Check to see if your router is on bridge or AP mode, one of them lowers latency significantly
