US equities data feed: L1 quotes wrong

I am currently seeing L1 quotes that are obviously wrong. Notably, SPY allegedly has a spread of around $1, which cannot be, and a different data feed confirms that. I am also seeing other suspiciously wide spreads in different symbols.

This is still happening, at least with the RT data. Redownloaded historical data is fine. Disconnecting and reconnecting seems to fix the issue for a few minutes before it becomes more noticeable again. I am connect to both the SC data feed and IB's TWS.

It seems like the issue does not occur when I am solely connected to the data feed for some reason. Might be the case that SC for some reason starts using the IB feed, even though the charts shows the "[M]" at the top of the chart. Although, that would not explain the huge spreads, as TWS shows the correct L1 data. It is also entirely unclear why this would happen all of a sudden. I made no changes to the configuration since yesterday, and did neither upgrade SC nor TWS.

We are still looking into the issue. We are closer to understanding the cause. For now update to the current version and that should resolve it:

Unfortunately, I cannot easily do that right now, because I have ASCIL code that needs to be tested with the new SCDateTime class. Would any pre-2156 version help with this, too?

Also, I can confirm that this is now also happening when I am solely connected to the SC data feed without any TWS involvement.
