global chat freeze

I have noticed for the second time now that my global chat window has just stopped. I still seem to be connected to the game, but my messages are not appearing in chat, nor any new chat messages.

  • Closing Global Chat and reopening it will fix this.

  • I had tried refreshing the page (successfully, of course). will try just closing chat anr eopening if it happens again.

    I more posted this so staff would know the issue exists.

  • This is happening too often for just refreshing the page to be a good answer.  I don't know if this is due to the rise in Glitchen population, but I never saw this in Beta, and it's constant now.  I know the staff have been looking at changing global chat, but whatever happens, the chat freeze needs a fix.

  • I'm hoping the reason they're talking about getting rid of Global Chat is that the game just can't handle so many players on a single chat line, and replace it with something more managable (like the random chat idea).

  • Agree with Mereret, refreshing is only ok a few times, today it occured 3 times in less than 30 minutes.

  • This also happens in group chats other than Global. This makes it worse, as if you don't see something in Global every 2 seconds, you know it's frozen. In a more quiet group, you might be missing out on conversations for a considerable amount of time until you realize its frozen.

  • lol ... I didn't realize it was a bug, I thought GC booted me and then stopped taking my calls.

  • It happens to me every time I play. At least 3 - 5 times per game day, sometimes more often. In all these months, I thought it was just a thing.

  • Yeah, this has been happening off and on for a few weeks, but more the past few days as y'all have noticed. Sorry about that, we'll be poking around more on it.
