Freezing on Map

I guess "freeze" wasn't the correct term. I never unfreeze. It's more of a computer lock-up. I have to close the window entirely and open a new one to get back onto VFK. Sometimes in worst cases it requires a complete restart of my computer.
Just not sure what's happening. I never had this problem until about 2 weeks ago.
Thanks again! Hugs!

Sometimes I have the computer lock-up too. Let us know if it works out or not for tonight's scavenger hunt and donut hat quest. :bighug:

Awww. Sorry to hear about that, Pink :(
Since the new client, I seem to have more lag...but it's tough to really gauge the cause of the lag since there's about a bazillion more people on game than before the client.
I can hang out on the main map for a fair amount of time, and will gradually bog down the longer I stay there. Eventually it's almost a stop/start type of movement where everything stops for a few seconds, then starts again and a bunch of chat bubbles go up at once.
Not a new problem for me, but for quite awhile...if there's a quest that takes me into Central Square, I'm almost guaranteed to crash...even in single mode! Tonight it was happening again. My workaround was purging the browser cache in between logging on the next 'family member'. No problems after that...well, except the blech hunt itself. :(
Not sure what's causing your problem. There are many factors that could make it worse: age of your computer, how many programs running in the background, etc. Single mode sounds to be your best option as the others have already said. If your computer is older (3+years), or an 'entry-level' computer that is not quite that old, it might be time to start saving for a new one. If you're using Internet Explorer, try switching to Firefox.
Hope it improves for you. In the meantime, have some coffee and a donut...take a step back...and try approaching it again when you're ready :)

LOL! Funfly and I were just talking about that this morning! She was wearing her donut hat which made us both lust after donuts with our morning coffee... but I had that purple space skirt on that made my hips look like I was hiding a donut under it... which then made us rethink the idea of running out to get donuts, LOL.
By the way, I finished my hunt this morning while VFK was quiet. Yay!
I might look into Firefox just for playing VFK. Thanks for that suggestion Flame!

OK... who smote me?? I'm keepin' track of this stuff you know! :uhuh: :rofl1:
