> You say.. 'occasionally CF lags up'... Does this happen at all times you're logged into CF? Can you be logged in anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours and it still happens? Or it only happens after a certain amount of time. If the latter is true, then it's possible Mud Master has some sort of memory leak where it refuses to operate after a certain amount of time. I've seen it happen with many programs. (i.e. Windows)
It seems pretty random, though it usually occurs after I've been playing a while.
> Alternatively, if this happens just randomly... there's another question that needs answering. Does it freeze and then the actual program crashes, or do you get some sort of error message and get disconnected? (what is the message?)... or do you see a few lines of text, then the program dies?
It acts precisely like 'real' lag - the input from the game just stops, though I can continue sending commands. After a few minutes, I get a 'connection failed' message and the connection ends. I can attempt to reconnect then, and sometimes I can reconnect immediately, while some other times it takes another few minutes.
