Visiting another player - server confuses me with them?

I visited another guild member's island to buff some mines.

The first weird thing was that I saw his building queue (he was building a well; he confirmed when I asked).

Then he sent me some buffs I didn't have and I - still on his island - got a message "You do not have the resources to initiate this trade." He had no problems with the trade and they arrived in my mail all right.

Then I went home, accepted the trades and went back to continue buffing and the game froze. Chat was still alive, though. I logged out, which also worked, and afterwards everything seems all right.

It happens, happened to me 5 minutes ago. Refresh is your friend.

Since last update I have often had friends island freeze when visiting - found out it is only island that is 'frozen' - I can return home, visit friend again and all is fine. No need to refresh/relog.

Does this happen every time you visit a friend's island, or is it only sometimes?

for me it happen on 1 island - first time I visit his island ( and only that island ) after login island freeze - I then return and when visiting again - no problems. ( has happened 2-3 days )

Is this per login session, or is it solved for a certain amount of time before returning (within the same session)?

Per day - not after login later same day - has been 2 or 3 times first time I have visited in the morning.

Thanks for the additional info!

+ 1 happens when I first visit a friends land......and I cant see their mayors house either. If I go home again and return, all is well. It only happens for that first time, and not with all players ( as far as I can tell, its the steam players this is happening with).

Anyone else with similar findings to this?

Not only steam players - have now had it happen on more players.

Never had this until today and now had it twice on northisle and once on newfoudland. When visit friend's island the island is frozen, canot move map and cannot buff. But can open star to access buffs, can still chat etc. Not a steam player, access via browser.
