Help- connection problem?

Freyja's picture
I really have no idea what this is. My new router likes to restart or reboot a lot, so my connection drops every now and then; I know when it does 'cause I can't refresh on firefox. Recently, when I go into the forest and connect and the pictos spread out, I can find other deer and see them, sometimes they'll be doing an action like dancing....but never moving or changing whatever they're doing.

When this happens i'm still connected to the internet; firefox works fine everytime it happens. It's like everyone else is frozen. Help?

I have the same problem - They don't move once the pictos spread. Frey, you're Australian too right?
I think it could be an Aussie thing. X_X

Nah I don't think it's the router, it worked before and suddenly started doing this whenever I logged in.

And yeah, i'm Aussie too. We can be frozen together xD Just like the IRL weather!

That means it must be an Australian problem. I know another Aussie with the same problem but nobody else seems to have it.

Ugh, mine too. >>

Hmmn. Only once did that happen for me, and it was when my internet was /about/ to drop, I believe. >>

I'm in the forest now and it's working fine, plus my router isn't rebooting...hmmm!

It may also have something to do with your router suddenly changing signal strength, but not quite dropping? You could test that too.

Aaah...my connection just

Aaah...my connection just dropped out and so did my game. I was wrong xD But it doesn't come back like the internet easily does. Everyone stops moving or repeats whatever they were just doing, then they disappear, then my picto disappears, then my spells disappear and i'm logged off.

It says under network: 'LOG IN. Something went wrong. Please try again.'

Oh yeah, that's what mine does when I fully disconnect. :/ It's really annoying. >>

Huh. o_o I haven't encountered that error in that way before. D:

It is kinda wierd...I noticed

It is kinda wierd...I noticed that no one would move or respond to my bows and then got the message that I was disconnecting xD

Reconnected, it's being a little strange on a different account. Had to try and log in several times, and then before the pictos spread there was 1 single picto where my own picto should be. The pictos have spread now and i've found the fawn with that picto, but it's still sitting where usually your own is, and doesn't move with me.

Hmm. You probably got a picto

Hmm. You probably got a picto glitch [happens often when you disconnect/reconnect a lot]. If there's another random deer with your picto, most often people won't see it that way. x3

Also, I just got booted for some reason. o_o Dunno if that was their server or my internet. xD
