Hello Sierra Chart Support,

I am having a recurring problem with chart data not loading correctly in Sierra Chart. This issue happened previously, appeared to resolve, and has now suddenly returned.

I have already done extensive troubleshooting, including:

* Disconnecting and reconnecting Sierra Chart to the data feed.
* Restarting Sierra Chart.
* Reloading the affected charts.
* Closing and reopening the chartbook.
* Allowing the historical data time to download.
* Checking the futures symbol/chart I am using.
* Trying the connection/loading process multiple times.
* Checking whether the market itself was still producing data using another trading platform/data source.
* Confirming that this is not simply a temporary market-data delay.
* Testing the chart again after it previously started working, only for the same loading problem to return.

The chart was previously working and displaying the data I need, including my footprint/Numbers Bars information. Then it suddenly stopped loading/displaying the data correctly again.

I have attached screenshots showing exactly what I am seeing when the problem occurs.

Because this problem keeps returning even after troubleshooting, I would appreciate help identifying the underlying cause. In particular, could you please determine whether this is related to:

* Historical data downloading
* The data-feed connection
* Symbol mapping
* Chart/data settings
* Numbers Bars data
* A corrupted or incomplete data file
* Or another Sierra Chart configuration issue

If necessary, I can also provide my Message Log, Trade Service Log, chartbook, exact symbol/settings, or any other diagnostic information you need.

I would really appreciate someone reviewing the screenshots and logs rather than having me repeat the same basic troubleshooting steps, since I have already gone through those multiple times.

Thank you.

Are you using Wine or Linux or Mac for running Sierra Chart on?

We see one of the errors. That is extremely unusual to have a compression error.

It indicates a corruption of data over the network. Which should be impossible to even be occurring.
