in my experience, UDP regularly drops messages, even when sending small amounts from one server to 2-3 clients (all reasonably new machines). we use it all the time in PLOrk, and have always had to find ways to work around the unreliability. this is true with both max and chuck. tcp and other things are in our future, though the accurate timing of udp is still quite remarkable.

Hi.

I know you found a good solution, but I am curious. Are you running your puredata and ChucK programs on the same computer? UDP (upon which OSC is based) is lacking in the secure-transfer department, but if you aren't sending enourmous amounts of data on different hosts (or use an old computer), you shouldn't lose messages like this.

Cheers, Stefan

Just in case anyone is interested....
I fixed the problem by packing x and y and sending them together via
osc. If someone uses more points, as its my case, all values need be
packed, in order to receive all info at the same rate.
