Basically what the title says! :'D
No matter what I've done, TEF refuses to connect and when it does, it won't load other deer, leaving me isolated in the forest, staring at the pictograms and waiting for them to spread. I was able to fix it for one singular day by uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but now that trick no longer works.
I've done everything. I've had my router reset, I've restarted my computer, I've opened the game as admin, I've used the .exe file directly from the game's directory to see if it was better than using the shortcut, and more. I'm so fucking scared I won't be able to play with others anymore, just as I thought I was starting to make friends here. I'm terrified even, because this was my little happy space where I didn't need to feel so anxious saying hello or cuddling with other deer. I don't know if I'll ever be able to play again, if this keeps up, at least until the remake is out. I hope the remake has better servers that aren't old and deprecated..
I'll still try interacting here on the forums, but i'm devastated I won't be able to see my lovely virtual daughter, Sanctity, grow and get her set. Maybe by the time I'm back from my sister's, everything will be okay
you’re definitely not the
even in the worst case scenario though - there used to be a player here called Anzel, who couldn’t connect to the game at all. she would post screenshots, poems, writing etc about her ‘ghost’ deer, and although people couldn’t get to her in forest, they would still interact in other ways. all is not lost, even if obviously we’d rather be able to frolic with you in game than not!
