Hey there! I totally feel your pain with the Quassel 2048 freeze issue. I used to have that happen while juggling multiple channels during lively discussions—it was so annoying! Have you tried tweaking the buffer settings? Sometimes, lowering the refresh rate helps. Just a thought! But honestly, it’s crazy how such a simple action can cause such chaos in our workflow. Hope they fix this soon!
