Server hiccups
« on: August 14, 2013, 06:09:14 pm »
.. it's either the server or me.
Hello fellow floofs
It seems like my game connection is.. very bad those days. I can play for a while, but then the server randomly kicks me out.
I tried:
  • Changing the Rendering system
  • turning off nametags
  • getting into a less-lagging area (even a private map of mine)
  • re-setting my connection
Is the server still having hiccups, or is my game just messed up?
Thanks for the help
 Jasmine

Is your graphics card up to date? or Adobe if you have it? Sometimes that's the problem. Also make sure your connection is on a high bar like.. 4 or 5 bars. Also try going into Options\Video\Water reflection and un tick the box and going to Options\Video\View distance then set it to 0. Once you've done that, Re launch FH.

I'm not sure why, but try uninstalling and re-downloading Feral Heart...or restarting your computer/laptop? I dunno, but I hope your problem gets fixed.

The sever is pretty funky on my laptop as well.

Edit: I suggest you go with BigBanTheory; she is more experienced than I am.

Un installing and re installing the game will not make any difference, It'd only make things worse xD

Okay, I tried. My connection is 5/5 bars, I'm not laggying, distance is set to 0, water reflection off. It still threw me out. Maybe it's because I live in germany or something? o-o I'm pretty clueless now.

It'd very unlikely that the server is kicking you out because you're from Germany xD Try looking through this:

Is the computer allowing FeralHeart to connect to the internet?
Games like these needs to be able to connect to the internet, but sometimes windows doesn't know if the game/application can be trusted or it just skips adding the game to exceptions. If you aren't able to log on the game, this might be your issue.

Open up your control panel located in the start menu. Depending on which Operating system you use, and which layout it might look differently. But Windows firewall should be in the category "security" or just find the text "Windows firewall" or "Allow a program through windows firewall". This should take you to the correct place.

Once there you'll get a new window with a list of programs. Try to locate FeralHeart.exe in there and add it to exceptions by marking the checkbox. If you can't find it, and the game to the list by yourself by pressing add program.

If you don't understand how to do this still, ask someone else to do this for you.

Sometimes there might be something else blocking the program from accessing the internet. A good example of these are some Antivirus programs. This can vary a lot as well. But check up if by any chance your virus program might be blocking feralheart. And just not only by clicking the icon in the corner sayings "Nope!". Look in the advanced menus and preferences first. Only you can check this.

How's your internet connection?
Sometimes the internet connection of the users trying to play the game might be weak. This can cause you to not being able to connect or staying online for a longer time, many people might start blaming the game or server for this when it in fact might be themselves.

Here's a few things you can check:
1. Are you even connected to the internet right now?
2. Are you running any downloading/streaming programs?
3. Are there any other computers/devices using the same internet?
4. Are you currently using a wireless connection, if so, are you getting good signal?

Sometimes the internet connection can time out for various reasons and then jump back on again, so be sure to try a few times first.

Programs in the background
Downloading things or running streaming programs eats your bandwidth, and this bandwidth is needed in order to play the game, especially if you're using slower speeds. You can start by shutting off things like downloading programs and internet browsers. Maybe even IM programs such as MSN and AIM and try to play again.

Turn off extra devices
If you got more than 1 computer or other devices also using the internet, try turning them off if they're not in use. This will give you more bandwidth to spare.

On a wireless connection?
If you're using a laptop you might be using a wireless internet connection. These can sometimes loose their signal to the internet source. So try placing yourself closer to your modem, this might give you a stronger signal.

These things should solve the most connection problems!

Of course you can call me that xD I have many nicknames, it's unbelievable. But when you was helping, you was also learning so don't feel bad xD

So, I think I got the error-sorce. Finally.
Our wireless connection is.. kinda hiccup-ing right now, but my dad's about to fix it.
Thanks for your help, everyone.~
