[OPEN] Chat crashes at random times
Short description:
The chat window crashes at random times. Sometimes (maybe most of the times) it comes back on its own, in other cases you have to reload the game.

Possible cause:- Might be connection related

- When playing the game while accessing other Flash-rich sites, especially ones with lots of ads
- When downloading or uploading stuff that takes up most of my bandwidth
- Running your OS on a minimum-spec computer (e.g. Win 7 with less than 1Gb of RAM)
- Corrupt cookies.

If you computer is low-spec, then upgrade it - I upgraded from 768Mb to 4Gb recently, and this problem for me was almost eradicated...
- For some people it works if you clear your cookies before you start the game.
- Others think that using chrome reduces the occurences
- Increasing the amount of data the game can store might help, see here
Workaround:
If your chat doesn´t come back automatically, go to the island of a friend and return.
