Hey everyone,
I was wondering if you have ever gotten timed out while active. By active, I mean actively playing the game. Active is NOT having the browser opened in the background. If you have, how often does this occur?
Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
See you in-game,
Katealyst
I have only one or two times since I started playing, and I started on the first hour of opening. Doesn't seem to be any pattern or rhyme or reason.
i do - remember about 2 times or so i think - doesn't count times when let it in background and then when i back, play for a few mnts then timeout -
I do quite often. The last time I had just given my General marching orders and it timed me out.
This thing will not let me enter the forum without immediately logging me out of the game which is extremely annoying. A number of times I want to come here to check something and the minute I log in it closes the game window. Needs to be fixed if they expect more participation in the forum.
Yep about 2-3 times a day. I dunno if I'm actively playing, but I'm at least clicking on stuff.
I have, although not as often as I have when its sitting in the background.
yes I do also. I t has happened about 4-5 times and then of course it does alot if it is in the background.
Yes. At least 2-3 times a day. Sometimes 2-3 times an hour.
When in the background, it should happen about every 2 hours.Quote:

It happens to me every hour
Yes dont know the count but nearly every time i have gotten timed out i was either actively chatting with someone or I was typing with them and switching back and forth to to a different program in the background (but never away from game for more than a few minutes).
Yes. Sometimes when the game is in the background, but that is not the answer to the OP's question.
I have been timed out while actively playing perhaps once every other day. This is while I am interacting with the game, either in chat, trade, moving around on the map, building, etc.
i will go off and do something come back do a few things and then get booted. or i will just be chuggin along like normal and get booted.
2 Hours? Cut that down to abut every 20 minutes more realistically...Quote:

As long as you stay in the game and do absolutely nothing else it will stay open, but that's about it.
(the second I can in here to post this the game timed out.)
It has happened a few times. I noticed a couple times I left it idle, came back and started playing, and within a minute or so it timed out on me. Like the watchdog timer never got reset once it hit a certain amount of idle time.
I've had it time me out while I'm actively talking in chat multiple times.
I get timed out in the middle of chatting with people regularly Katealyst. Sometimes I get timed out twice within 20 minutes.
Multiple times a session, sometimes I am reading something in a description or moving the map around looking at the bandits etc but earlier today I was typing in chat and I timed out...
Happens regularly to me, probably 3-5 times a day.
Everytime I've seen it happen I've had "Server call failed" pop up in the top left notification area. The game continues running in the background (chat goes in the chatbox, new notifications will pop up like normal), you just can't actually do anything since it has that dark overlay with the dialog box. It seems like it's trying to fetch a notification or otherwise communicate with the server, is failing, and then because it failed (and thus us potentially out of sync?) it times you out.
Every single day, a few times a day. <3 your new sig =DQuote:

I was either chatting, clicking buildings or doing something and it would just pop up right in the middle of whatever i was doing. Been meaning to post about this and just kept forgetting. Glad you are aware because it is the most frustrating thing cause then i have to click back and wait for the whole game to load again. And danged if it doesnt always happen at the most inconvenient times. Posting a trade or buffing, or right after i see a whisper come in then Boom, out of the game and of course they are gone on reload. I don't think activity stops it at all.
I get the dreaded "Timed-Out" at least once an hour. This and the chat-spam delay thingy, is most irritating part of playing.
It happens to me about every 2 hours but thats active too as when I'm logged in I don't have it in the background or leave it unattended for more than 5 minutes typically.
Yes, it happens to me frequently:
While chatting
While whispering
While building
While my general is attacking
Generally it is about every 2 hours no matter what I am doing.
I do, however, often have the forum open in another tab. I don't know if that triggers an idle flag
Thanks,
Pilot

@17:30:00 - Timed out every 3-5 minutes for the last hour and a half. Are we starting to see a time pattern here?
I have never been timed out / disconnected. But i also only come on for about an hour at a time a couple times a day.
I've found that if I have the provision house open as something completes, I get 'timed out'
My impression is that you're auto logged off regardless of how active you are... It seems about two hours and then I'm kicked whether I'm busy doing something or not.
I usually get timed out 2 or 3 times a day when actually doing something. I think the pop up says something about the server. Server call failed? hmmm something like that. Oddly, I don't recall timing out when working on something on the other monitor. Maybe I click back and forth enough to keep things active.
yes, I have been "timed out" while actively playing
I just timed out. I was in another tab but same browser for several minutes at a time. Tabbed back and forth, trained recuits, lured in settlers at various times. I typed several lines in lobby, then tabbed back and was working on email, when I timed out. Server call failed was the popup at the top of window.
6-7 times a day
Just happened to me now. I've been logged on for over 2hours, being active in those hours, checking production times and giving building buffs. I was kicked off. :(
agrees with Yager and Shuttle...seems consistently around 2 hours or so...regardless of what i am doing. I am constantly active in the trade boards, chats and whispers, as well as monitoring my resources and training troops as settlers arrive. Activeness seems to have no bearing whatsoever on being timed out. I have heard some players say they never or rarely get timed out but they also log on through facebook and not through the direct link as I do.
I also get kicked off while playing. Sometimes only 5-10 minutes after log on.
yes it has with me too, both ways, when in back ground and when active, annoying as I have to log back in, not just refresh, and it takes time for it to load. happens every couple hours .
Yes, this has happened but not often enough to be a bother or a problem.
Yes, but at most perhaps once every couple of weeks. It was very odd that I had recently logged in and was clicking around on buildings and chatting about trades in whispers when it happened, too.
