Can't enter a map

[PoisonIVy12]

I have a map I made called "Elsewhere" and I've been using it as my main entrance to a string of gated-together maps of mine. Recently I've not been able to enter Elsewhere, it just sits there with the loading screen and eventually pops up with a message that says it can't access the map server. Is there any way I can fix this issue?

I keep getting bad tokens, failed to connect to map server or timing out while playing.

If you have made sure your connection is working fine, and maybe FeralHeart has worked all good before, there still can happen things in the game when walking around in different maps. Examples of these are so called "Bad Tokens", "Failed to connect to map server" messages.

Even though the game has it's own server, it's not perfect and can get stuck as well. If you're experiencing troubles a good bet is always to wait a few mins/hours and try again later. It solves a lot of problems.

Bad tokens is the servers way to tell you that something went wrong when loading a map/location most of the times. The client failing to communicate with the server, or other way around. If there was some connection problems just during the time you tried to load a new map, this might happen to you. Also maps that has an extreme amount of online users, or more objects and other custom things might take longer to load, and the chance of getting bad tokens might rise. Usually the issue doesn't last for too long and get solved by just trying going through a portal again or loading the character again or just keep reconnecting, for some it's worse than others.


Failed to connect to map server is a message you also can get while changing maps and entering portals in the game. It's usually nothing severe either, and as worst, your character might be stuck in that map until there's a reset of the map server process. Another issue similar to this can be if you get the loading screen after choosing a character, but it never loads. Most of the time it should be followed by this "failed to connect" message. If you try to choose another character that isn't placed in the same map, it sometimes let you play since every map in the game, has it's own server process. Sometimes the server needs to be restarted in order to fetch some stuck characters. If you had characters that's been stuck for weeks, you should contact the staff.


Failed to connect to front server is another funky message you might get. Most of the time you get this either when your internet is down or the server is down completely. It can also be that your firewall or any other security software is preventing FeralHeart from accessing the internet. If it's the server and not your internet it should be sorted shortly and be back up and running, if it will be down for longer times the staff will let you know.

If the server is up though for a longer time, and you're still having issues to connect, you should follow the tips mentioned in the post "Unable to log on/go online" above, and if that fails to work. Contact those responsible for your internet or maybe someone that knows more and are able to help you.

Also, your PC may not be able to handle the objects you put in the map. Try taking some out maybe.

Also, go into your setting and change your rendering system. AND, try lowering your video settings.

That pretty much explained what was going on, though I'm not sure what "reloading the server" entails. How can I reload the server? :0

Also, I have to keep my game settings on one of the rendering systems because of a texture problem I was having, and there aren't too many objects in Elsewhere, just the default ones. Of course, FeralHeart has always been weird on my computer... I went for a year without realizing I had an issue with the ground and water textures...

It's probably just a problem with the FH server
Try reloading the game, go to User Panel on forum-> character reset -> (your characters name) and click 'Go home' and try again entering the map
That used to happen to me
Maybe It's just your connection

I'll try resetting all my stuck characters (I remade one from screenshot references), though this happens every time I enter Elsewhere. I've added a portal to another map of that string so I can get in and out, but it's a lot more troublesome to deal with. I may end up disconnecting Elsewhere from the others and make another main map to enter it by. But thanks for the help on getting my characters out :3

You may not have it in the right folder

As I said, it's worked up until a couple of weeks ago. I saw you post on another thing, and I have to say, it doesn't look like you read any other replies but the main thing, I suggest you do so if you are to be of help to anyone. I use Map Maker all the time, this map is an anomaly. And I've already dealt with it by a different method and begun changing my main port.

Basically, the issue is now closed.
