Hallo. C8
So... I posted about this a few days ago, but the issue still hasn`t gone away. I basicially cannot connect to TEF at all. When I open the game, I just stay a nameless, and the dot stays red. I can run around and perform actions just fine.
In the Network section, my status keeps switching from Connecting to Error, and then back again. It does this for the entirety of my time in the game.
I`ve tried rebooting the router (though I`m not sure I did it right |D Verizon Routers are tricky to mess with) and that hasn`t worked so far. ForestViewer is enabled through my firewall. I`m not quite sure if it`s the game itself, or my computer. 8C
Thank you ♥
Bump? ;;

You need to get this fixed so I can harass you!

Good luck!

I wish I knew more to help
You can most certainly try! Something I suggest would be to try and close and open TEF a few times.

Eh, yeah, I tried that. But

You can install older
Ah, thanks, Mis! I wasn`t
Bump: Bleh. It didn`t seem to work in the older version, either. 8C Thanks for helping, though! ♥

Alright so if it's not the
When you reinstalled, did you remove every TEF file? Like, going to program files and deleting the Tale of Tales folder before reinstalling. That sometimes helps.
Then there's right-clicking the game icon and using run as administrator to start, that has helped with connection problems in the past.
Uuh. What happens really? Do you get a green dot, but no picto's spreading? Orange dot, or just a red dot entirely? Any kind of error in the menu? There's lots of tricks to help picto's spreading if that's a problem. It's one of the most happening errors. I've never had it though (*knock on wood*) so I only know what other people do to get them flowin.
Hmm, not removing the Tale of
And I was already running an as admin when the game started to freeze. C8
And...well, basicially, I just stay a nameless. The dot remains red. My picto never appears. I can run around and perform actions and such, but there`s no one else in the forest. In the Network section, it keeps saying Connecting, and then Error. Immediately after that, it flashes back to Connecting, over and over again.
I had a similar problem in the past-except the dot would remain either yellow or green. Even when it was on green, the pictos wouldn`t spread. I wasn`t able to connect for months that time-which is why I`m so worried about this one. |D

I've had the same issue and
When that version came out, several players had this problem and many of them gave up on a solution. M&A had made a patch for it that seemed to help, but the patch is no longer available.
Hmm, really? Which version?

Poppyflower, do other games work just fine? What you can also try if you normally start as administrator, to start it without? XD But it sounds a little odd. I know a lot of people have had problems in the past that eventually simply passed, but can never tell if that is something worth waiting on. You can try to attempt logging on on different times of the day than usual, but otherwise I'm not sure what you can try. With picto spreading issues sometimes people turn on multiple forest viewers to maybe get one to connect. But since you are not connecting at all.. On the old forums the issue is brought up a lot but never solved. Usually when it's solved the answer is "it suddenly started working again! :D" Which is very useful. Sigh. You could try resetting your router but I don't know if you have access to it.
Also maybe change the title of this blog to something "Cannot connect to server?". Because I doubt people who know stuff about this are going to come here if the title is about getting picto's.
do you have a wired or
wired connections are generally a lot faster and more reliable than wireless. but i would do what Misako suggested and restart your router. before this though, you can also test your internet connection speed using this website which might give you an idea if this is the problem first.
Ah, sorry about that!
And yes, my other games work fine. I can connect to everything else, and use the internet fine as well. I`m trying to login at different times, but that doesn`t seem to work either. It might be easier for me to try it when not a lot of people are on.
I believe I tried to use multiple ForestViewers at once, but it didn`t work. I only tried that once, though |D
And I tried resetting my router. I`m not sure if it worked. I do know that the light for my Ethernet (did I spell did right?) isn`t green. So that might be the problem.
Thank you, though C8
