Ok so I've played TEF several times on my old computer thats a windows XP and never had any problems. Then I try to play it on my new computer which is a windows 7 and I'm having all sorts of problems. First of all it wont let me log in. When I try to 1Ibf5 or something like that appears below the log in button. Then sometimes the forest viewer fails and I have to close the program. Any thoughts on this?

I'm stupid and have no idea

I'm stupid and have no idea what you should do, so Imma bump this at least.

Reinstall it, maybe? ;;

For that error, be sure you

For that error, be sure you have 3.31 of the forest downloaded.
For why it's closing, I'm not sure. My Windows 7 does odd stuff too. >> I'd say maybe try not having it on auto-connect? That seems to cause issues for me, and might help a little.
And sometimes if you launch other things, the forest dies. >>

I'm having the same problem

I'm having the same problem too.

I heard few suggest to:
-uninstall, then reinstall the 3.3.1 game.
-Check IE to see it's not working offline
-wait for server to return to normal.

A lot of people (including

A lot of people (including me) have a bit of trouble when it comes to Windows 7.
For when the forest viewer fails, that happened to me too. A lot. What I did was run it on administrator, and it worked. =/ I dunno, you could try that...
Sorry that I'm not much help ;;

Have you checked the box in

Have you checked the box in Display(or control....i dunno.Sticking out tongue) that says "Run in Background". Then only open windows and never underscore The Forest.^^

on the Windows 7 front. I

on the Windows 7 front. I figured out all of the quirks i have.

I ignore people who tell me run as administrator.

I always check the folder for compatability files. Makes my life easier. < Userdata and Screenshots.
Minimizing ....everyone does it. it's maowish.
And of course, make sure to maximise it before you log in otherwise te pictos disappear.
As for internet issues, I find that repeatedly trying to connect generaly doesn't work, and it's easier to leave it alone for like an hour or something.
Also...if you're pictos are stuck, try running towards the picto at the bottom. It spreads them when i do it. -shrugs-

there some tips.
