    Chat Resets and Changing Zones

    I have been getting an awful lot of Chat Resets since the update today. As well as it happening during the normal course of play, I have come back from being AFK several times, with my system sitting idle other than my connection to TSO, and found chat has reset in my absence, though what seems to really make me prone to it is Changing Zones. Even when I don't get a Chat Reset whilst Changing Zone it has been taking considerably longer for a new zone to load than it did prior to this update.

    Idd, to me it seems like we all suffer for heavy server load..
    And for the records.. Despite running OS after reboot on a defragmented disk, having cache cleared both in updated browser and flash; within an hour I had my first chat reset while being AFK..
    25/11-14 , 23/02-16 .. The end is coming and it will look like this .

    Logged on first thing today and started building a copper mine... had a chat reset which froze the game for a couple of minutes... when the game (briefly) responded the mine was fully built... another chat reset, again freezing the game for a couple of minutes, after which the same mine was showing in the build queue as seventy-odd percent done... another chat reset... another couple of minutes freeze, after which the mine is showing completely built again. The game continues as normal and I click on the mine and the pop-up shows that red settler icon like you get when a mine is just built and it is waiting for a settler to arrive.

    Can't even do basic rebuilding on my island without being crippled by this issue.... frustrating is not the word!

    When is the hot fix due?

    I have been hit by a chat reset almost every time I have tried to switch zones this evening and now the game has frozen thus:



    If you look carefully, in the bottom left hand corner, you will see that the game has frozen part way through the chat server resetting, with only the whisper tab having reappeared after the connection crashed.

    Had pretty same experience tonight.
    For the record: Flash cache was cleared, both computer and router was rebooted, but still..

    Been experiencing intolerable lengths of freezing in game recently, mostly on adventures, but also on the home island after return from them. There is also rather a long lag between transferring between islands.

    I know BB do not accept issues with blocking, but the freezing is of such a length of time that any blocking gen would be killed before the freeze was over to send the kill general.

    To clarify, the freezing is literally a frozen screen, not a loading one..

    Guild members are having similar issues..
