I have the same problem to.. every 15 min the game frezes for 5 sec :(
Im getting extended periods of game freeze too, tho I believe in my case its a Shockwave issue rather than the game itself
After being on for a while my whole screen locks up when going to adv maps etc. I now logoff every 90mins or so and that seems to help.
Tried to up the limit for storage in adobe's settings? It made the game run much more smoothly for me. =)
To do so, just right click the game window and click settings. Click the folder icon and move the slider up to 'unlimited'.
I've been having freeze issues too, never had them before so I'm surprised that the current settings aren't good enough, but I'll try your suggestion - see what happens.Quote:

Those settings do nothing but set how much are allowed to be saved on your computer til next time you startup tso (hence "storage") - eg global-chat settings et c used to be saved there, but atm seems to be saved on server-side (or not at all) since advanced options were added.Quote:

constant game freeze and chat loss here since last update :(
http://prntscr.com/8nyonx This goes on forever and ever and ever.... Don't know for how much longer.... *yaaaawwwn!*
So far 4 minutes....
Indeed, this problem...
...seems to have gotten worse with the introduction of the XXL package. I don't know about anyone else, but every single time my game freezes (that doesn't lead to a chat crash) it seems to be followed by some sort of report going into the News chat tab so, if I were to place a bet, I would say the added traffic from folks who had (all but) given up coming back to the game is clogging the tubes to the chat server(s) even further... and they cannae handle it Cap'n!Quote:

This could be related to my OS but I disabled the hardware acceleration from flash setting and haven't noticed any freezes after that. It could be that there's some problems with the game, flash and/or GL or any combination of them.
The situation can change tomorrow after the maintenance.

keeps freezing here too, very often and lasts for up to 10 sec, more or less...
I have same issue, actually its random, some ppl says clear cache close browser and so, but for real its random, sometimes happens even a few minutes like 10 times another times just once, later like not happening, the freezes happens so randomly and I have no clear idea why, but i'm pretty sure now its not about the client, but the game coding or server issue.
Something in game freezes once its fail or delay with connection to server or like non-threaded operation when an event happened.
Same issue and only happens on tso. Page freezes totally and I sometimes get the nice big ! in a circle to tell me flash crashed completely/
Agreed - temporary freezes, usually when an 'event' is trying to occur/notify/etc., and wasn't there before. Confirmed with another player that has never had the problem either. Fortunately, it seems to clear after a few seconds - not such a big problem unless you just happen to be in the middle of a complicated attack...Quote:

Traveling to adventure or back to home island causes temporary lock ups of flash player a number of times till it settles down (loading issues??)
Hope they get this fixed BEFORE introducing new bugs with up coming Halloween event.
Anyone else bothered by this?
Merged
Freezing issue here too.
1. It is much worse since XXL, so much so that if it happened before I hardly noticed it or put it down to general lag.
2. It is consistent across different browsers
3. I can almost guarantee it will happen if I do something that sends a fair bit of data back and forth to the server. E.G. cancel a lot of troop builds one after another.
My guess, some kind of load issue with data in/out of the server(s) since XXL. Exacerbated, if not wholly caused by, the increase in player activity due to that upgrade. However I'm no dev, so it could be the way the wind is blowing or the recent moon eclipse...
FWIW I have a reasonably quick computer and a fast fibre internet connection, so I find these to be unlikely causes, particularly since I am not the only person affected.
didnt get it first week after XXL have been getting it this week.
Mine has a guaranteed freeze whenever a bunch of generals arrive back home from an adventure.
The garrisons appear at some percentage built, game freezes and generally stays frozen until suddenly they are all there near fully built, so around 15 seconds or so.
Often leave the game running in a background tab and have to reload a majority of times when I return as I get forced refresh (normally to home page) after some seconds of hanging.
Has anybody who has been suffering these problems had less issues with the sound turned off.
I have sound turned off and this game is getting to the stage where unplayable.
Changing sectors takes even longer than it used to (too long) and I get a big freeze every couple of minutes and a shut Internet Explorer/Firefox down (restart) every hour or so as well.
Sound is always off for me, I have zero intention of turning it on to see if that makes matters even worse ;)
remove the expamsion to a game for it self
wow what have they done in maintenance? My game now freezes every couple of seconds instead of every couple of minutes, also generals are taking a long time to load and unload, plus there is now lag on generals leaving the garrisons.
So not a happy bunny here :(
I have had problems with game freezing up for 10- 20 sec too- and the flash needing to restart happens more often. But it has happened since the extension part was added.
Maintenance has not fixed this on Northisle either.
Screen freezes at least 3 times / hour
It has something to do with Flash.
I am bridging "wait time" with a Flash-based card game and when the freezes occur, both games freeze.
Debugging info:
The freezes do NOT occur when I only leave the card game running.
The freezes occur in TSO when only that game runs.
The freezes occur to BOTH games when they both run.
Hypothesis: It has something to do with TSO freezing up the Flash player.
seems to be getting worse with every maint..
It seems that way to me too topgearfan
And it's back again.....
connection issue....
hammer guy.....
lost chat server.....
please wait......
(sometimes completely pushed out back to main screen).....
connection issue....
hammer guy.....
*groan*
So I am now on freezing 'Settlers is not responding' every two minutes or so.
Also, the freeze after I leave an adventure screen and return to home island is very annoying. Not to mention the time taken from game zone to home island is increasing and now ridiculously long.
This is getting too fannoying... It needs to be fixed before Halloween...
Indeed! When support told me that the developers were already working on this issue, I didn't realise that meant they were working on making it worse! ;)Quote:

when the game freezes i hear the processor fan speed up.
at the start of the year game took 300mb of memory even after being open for a whole day.
yesterday after about 4 hours the memory usage was 1500mb.
processor use has also gone from about 10% to 50% at the time of game freeze.
surely this big an increase is not normal?
I think there;s issues with the latest flash player. this may be the cause of all these problems
and for all those about to reply "i use chrome" etc, I think they have even bigger probz.
Tends to sit around the 44-56% CPU and 500-900 meg of private memory here (which is ridiculously high).Quote:
