Description

[Critical Error] The Nightly version is failing to connect via netplay using the fbneo core and relay server;

The Nightly version fails to establish a netplay connection; the session drops immediately upon joining. The core tested was fbneo with the game Street Fighter II: Champion Edition.

I tried connecting the Windows version of RetroArch with another Windows instance of RetroArch;

I tried connecting the Windows version of RetroArch with a Linux instance; the connection drops immediately upon joining;

Expected behavior

Prevent the netplay session connection from dropping.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Open the game SF2CE using the FBNeo core;
Start a netplay session;
Ask another player to join the room;
The connection drops for the player trying to join;

This error does not occur in the stable version;

Research direction

No source file, test, bisect result, or log output is provided. First reproduce the drop with the fbneo_libretro core, SF2CE, and the 1.22 nightly on the reported Windows and Linux setups, then compare against stable while collecting logs. Done means a joining player's netplay session remains connected in the reported scenarios.
