Local Network Sync

Note

For the best stability, all headsets and PCs/Macs should be connected to the same router.

What Is Synced Over LAN?

When devices share the same local network, the following data is exchanged directly over LAN. It reduces latency and improves reliability compared to cloud-only syncing.

• Gameplay state (match status and progress)
• Device status data (battery, connectivity, etc.)
• Session invitations

On PICO Enterprise devices, two more things come over LAN:

• Authentication (headsets get their credentials through the Manager)
• Custom images

Verifying LAN Connectivity

To check whether a headset is using LAN or cloud for data exchange:

1. Click on the headset panel in the Manager app.
2. Look at the Data Source field.

Possible values:

• Local Network — the headset is connected to the same router as the Manager app PC. (Recommended)
• Cloud — the headset is connected through the internet instead of local LAN. This may cause higher ping, game de-sync, or disconnections.
