Lag/Games not loading? Anyone else?

Thu Aug 26, 2004 8:25 pm

I've been on the site, trying to play some games. What I've been finding today is that when I click on a game, the window opens, the preloader starts, but that's it - just the animation, no Game Loading info. If I close the window, go back to games room, then click on the game again, I'm getting a different preloader animation - but no game load. This is happening right now with usuki frenzy and ultimate bullseye. I had to try I think 3 or 4 times for DOM and Carnival to load - but those finally did.

Then I decided the heck with it, went to deposit the np I had made in some games, got to shops, but couldn't get the bank page to load - the little bar showing page load? stopped half way. So, said fine, log out. That page didn't want to load. I just cleared cookies, etc. so I know I'm logged out.

Anyone else having any of these problems? Yes, I did d/l and install the Win XP SP2 and yes it does have a firewall -- but I set Neo as allowed, and everything worked fine yesterday and last night as far as games, navigating...just this afternoon. And yes, I had everything cleaned out (temp internet, etc.).

The whole sight is lagging for me... ah well. I'll live. I'm just catching up on my secondary accounts; anyways. *Shrug*

I haven't had any problems at all today with games, boards, or certain pages. I was playing Freaky Factory earlier, and that loaded and played perfectly. Ultimate Bullseye and Usuki Frenzy also worked; I tried them out after reading your post. The bank page loaded fine.

Perhaps the lagging will stop soon? I've had days where Neo runs fine all morning, lags up in the early stages of afternoon, and then runs fine again after thirty, maybe fourty-five minutes.

Sorry about your lag and loading troubles.

The game section was the first section of the site to go laggy on me today - now, all kinds of sections are like that! So you're not the only one that it's lagging for.

The whole site is lagging for me. Everything. Must be a high bandwidth.

yup, thought it was just me, and I had hoped to transfer a pet, too.

It's lagging -so- much now, it takes ages to load one page. :( :evil:

Hrmph. Got a good score on that golf game. :'( Didn't know the game server was down. Guess I should have checked. :'( Oh well, better luck next time.

Super extreme lag. Has to be because most everyone is going wacko over their mutant pets.
