Maybe increase the frame upload period?

Also maybe try a staggering the start times of the slaves so that they don't try uploading at the same time and overwhelming the master?

Lastly, have you tried supersample=1 ?

Might be the master running out of RAM, it's not really optimised for large numbers of clients (like 25) yet

This is a RAM issue, yep

Especially if you have mixed clients (e.g. 1gb RAM vs. 2gb), it's a pain to work around.

Easiest way to reduce RAM usage is lower SS factor to 1.
