In that case, that particular program might not be so great to use. There is a LOT of incoming text when you play CF, and I'm almost positive it stores it in a receive buffer, and there is a leak (as I mentioned) that makes it freeze up. You might want to try downloading the newest version of it, or getting another client.
> > 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 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.
