Meh, ignore this, you were probably going to anyways

Caution! Rant area...



I said caution!



See....

The forest usually runs just fine. My computer is only a couple years old, my graphics card is just perfect....my internet provider got changed recently and the new one is ten times faster than my old one :'p And ...*poof*....the forest stops working.

School is starting.

My last bit of time that I'm not doing anything with my family.

One of my friends on here who's been on and off can finally be on.

...and the forest dies on me.

So I figure 'maybe it's the internet', and I go to my cousins' house since they have the old one.

It still doesn't work.

I drop wireless and plug in DSL.

No luck.

I installed and reinstalled the game three times.

Nothing at all.

I run it as administrator and try every solution I've ever found on the site. nothing. I checked the support forum and now guess that it has something to do with the server.

So,

Awesome, they're working on that.... I wish there was a backup server or something.


Network status: ERROR

There are currently 37 players connected.



Evil number of doom. 37.

I'll go back to trying to cheer up everyone in my path now ^-^

When you have trouble

When you have trouble connecting, what colour is the status circle on the bottom left?

Also, have you recently installed any updates to anti-virus, firewalls, etc? Or even using torrent programs? Those can all stop TEF from having permission to run.

The dot was clear at first

The dot was clear at first but once I went in and checked connect-automatically it was red.

No, I turned my firewall off while trying to run the game.

Oddly when I try to move the slides or check in the boxes to run the game in a window I can't...actually I can't use the options at all right now after downloading a different version Sad

Okay, go to TEF on your star

Okay, go to TEF on your star menu, now, what you have to do, is...

There will be a 'options' menu. Click it.

You will transported to the tef window. This does run the game, you can only set the options on here, to work via, the game. I hope this helped you.! ^^

Aaaw Kitty, I'm so sad to see

Aaaw Kitty, I'm so sad to see this happen to you~! D: If you still haven't got it fixed, I will just give you a heads up that the server has been bumming up for tonnes of us lately-in Australia, all of us have the same problem where everyone gets stuck in limbo, we get booted from the game, or the pictos won't spread at different times of the day. Sadly there isn't much Michael can/is doing about it right now, but we're gathering information for him if you're interested! D:

I hope it fixes up for you soon, but we're in this together! It'll work soon I know it Laughing out loud He wanted more info on any errors (it seems to be spreading to other countries now as well as Australia) so if you wanna put this on over on my thread we might be able to get some answers Laughing out loud Thankies muchly, I hope you're okies! *hugsquish*

*ishhugsquished* Well that

*ishhugsquished*

Well that sucks :/ I sure hope it stops spreading soon. I'll post this in there and re-twack it then :'o


Edit: It works :'D
