I will note this down for the Dev team to look into. Thank you for the report. What browser are you using when this happens as well?Quote:

Sorry to say not up to standard. Some serious effort needed and a hotfix, I hope.
starting around 8pm est - every night - the game starts freezing.. freeze if an expl comes home, freeze if you go to adv, freeze if you start an adv, freeze if a geo finds a spot, freeze if you get a trade sold or expired... freeze when your gens come home.... freeze for any event...
its crazy.. its unplayable -- freezing upwards of 20 min tonight.
Anyone else having this issue?Quote:

In answer to your question BB_Odhran, that would be an absolute yes.Quote:

Anytime generals come back from an adventure my screen locks up while they build their garrisons, when they're done there's the loud crashing sound as all garrisons complete, and my screen is released from the freeze.
Any time I launch a quest (eg:Save the Deer) my screen locks up for 10 to 20 seconds, then the new quest banner pops up and releases my screen. Quest complete? Same thing.
Anytime I come back from or go to an adventure the loading map screen sits and sits and sits and sits sometimes for a full minute before I get home or land at the adventure. Once in a while the transition is fairly quick, but that is the exception, not the rule.
Anytime I go to an adventure for the first time the screen locks up while the map paints itself. This can take 5 or 10 seconds or, especially in the case of MCC my screen is frozen for up to a minute while the map is drawn.
Anytime I visit a friends island for the first time in a session, the screen locks up while the map is painted. This can take a few seconds, 20 to 30 seconds, or in 1 out of 10 instances Flashplayer simply crashes and I have to refresh. And then deal with the excessive login wait time.
I could keep giving examples; however, they're all very similar in that the game freezes whenever something occurs that requires a notification to pop up, the game freezes whenever we travel from one map to the next, and also not mentioned by me until now, yes, the game freezes and lags become even worse whenever there is a lot of server activity in the evenings or horribly so during events as in the Valentine event.
The excessive login time started on test 3 or 4 months ago and has been imported to the live server with subsequent updates. It started off as just being mildly irritating because it was an extra 20 seconds or so and has now reached the point of being infuriating as it can take 3, 5, 10, 12 minutes, or more, to get into the game. After getting a flash crash this past Thursday it took 1 hour and 35 minutes to get back in. I count myself lucky to be able to get in at all.
I hope your bosses fully appreciate the fierce and sincere loyalty of every single person that has not said the hell with it and completely given up on this game.
With all due respect,

Now chat is dead, blank, nada. Not even a thing saying "no connection"
+1 on all of those.Quote:

I see 2 main issues, myself (well, 3 now that chat is dead). There's an issue where any time there are lots of people on the server is obviously not coping well with the load, hence the short freezes and lag in the game such as it taking 5 minutes for an adventure invitation to show up when you know someone just sent it. That looks to me like a server capacity and/or connection capacity issue
Then there's the elephant in the room that Flash is past its best (such as that was) and (I suspect) no longer being developed and due to be killed off in about a year. To be fair, TSO is not the only game still using it - I play other games still using flash. I also play Forge of Empires and that has both flash and HTML5 clients and you can switch from one to the other - so it clearly CAN be done and I for one would welcome the sign of commitment to the undoubtedly loyal player base of TSO which a switch to HTML5 or some other more modern platform would demonstrate. I'm not that happy any more spending money on gems, say, with no concrete sign of what will happen when flash dies. Already in Chrome I have to give permission for every game load, because you can no longer set permission to use flash without asking.
As BB_Alex already wrote in the test server forum, no DSO2 or HTML5 client is planned. Nevertheless, we have of course the flash situation on our monitor and work on different ways, how to address the problem of the noted "deactivation" of 2020 flash players.Quote:

- We do NOT work on HTML 5 or DSO 2.0
