Game Help / failed to connect to map server, among other issues
« on: June 20, 2016, 09:52:15 am »
It's getting pretty frustrating now, but every so often I'll be on FH, and get a 'failed to connect to map server' message.
This doesn't happen when going through portals, just randomly.
After I get this message, I'll send the character home and open the game up again. I'll get to the character selection screen, select my character -- and sometimes it'll let me in, other times it crashes. And just now, it has been making my character go invisible before crashing on me.
I've been through the help threads and found nothing that's helped me, or been the same issue as I'm having.
Things I've tried:
- checking for duplicates in the particles files
- sending the character home/resetting their home (allows me to get back on the character without crashes, but it doesn't solve the map server error)
- using different rendering subsystems
Resetting the home is the only 'solution' I have so far; it lets me play the game for a bit before I have to do it again (maybe about an hour). BUT it means having to run my character all the way back to the map it was in when I was roleplaying, and most often I have no way of telling people this is what's happened and why I've disappeared until I get back to them; and by that point, they're already gone.
