After nearly 2 hours of constantly having to refresh the game I'm pretty ..... unhappy. I managed to throw some stuff into the game to complete the gem challenge. But I'm not here for stress!!!
I used to do "Pollyanna" posts in the game and I've always tried to be positive. But now I'm past caring. No ads, constant refreshes and no fun,

I am so sorry that you have refresh issue and freezes, Lainie, but I am glad you came forward about it, even in a new thread. I have freezes too these few days, and since yesterday I noticed that the game response to our clicks are quite slower than usual. I don't think it is a browser or browser cache problem since I don't have any issue with other websites. I hope this is just something temporary and I hope they investigate it.

About Pollyanna posts, I am neither a fan of overly optimistic nor overly pessimistic outlooks about this game. Such posts look too unrealistic or too biased to me. The Vikings only need to see the truth, facts, objective facts, be they things that are good or bad, positive or negative. They need our objectivity, as objectivity and facts are what that can really help them to make informed decisions of what to do and how to do it.

I hope your gameplay will be better soon! Stress is detrimental to our physical and mental health.

I havent had as many issues since my provider stopped out to 'fixed' it ---

but I still find my internet bandwidth is so small I cant manage the game

Browser hunting might help - Opera fixed more then one of the issues i'm having

and surprised that yesterday I had zero issues with being rolled out and typically the more people off work and home the worst it is (Sunday evening I dont even try to get into YO most of the time -- because i know I just dont have the wifi support needed to stay connected) -- except during gems and I got rolled out everytime

Im sure there is a way to improve it, but might take a bit. I did speed tests and started to notice a pattern - that allow me to address the issues and I do have better game play. Good luck, hope it's a easy fix

It was so bad yesterday and last night both with freezing and the chronic booting from the server. The popup yesterday froze my screen and I had to close my browser and open it again. Then it happened again for no apparent reason; no popup or anything. Then I got disconnected when doing the GE. I also was returning a friend visit and nothing would happen when I tried to go back home. I could walk around their place in that room at least but I couldn't get out. Beyond frustrating and it gets worse by the week.

Hey Lainie

I’m really sorry to hear you’re having such a frustrating time — that sounds exhausting, especially when you’re just trying to enjoy the game and complete the challenges.

Just wanted to say that I personally haven’t been experiencing freezing or refresh issues lately, so it might be something specific to your connection or browser setup. I totally understand how annoying that is, though.

Here are a couple of things that might help:

-Try using the Brave browser — it works really smoothly for YoWorld and blocks unnecessary ads automatically.

-Clear your browser cache and cookies — sometimes that alone can fix a lot of weird loading problems.

-Disable any heavy extensions (like ad blockers or themes) just while playing, as they can slow things down.

-Make sure your browser is fully updated, and if possible, close any extra tabs or apps running in the background.


I really hope one of these helps — we all deserve a stress-free YoWorld session.

It's gotten so bad for me I'm ready to throw in the towel

I was up til the wee hours last night trying to complete my ''Old Money'' room entry. I have to constantly reboot and the layering doesn't always stick either... frustrating for sure!

Seriously use Brave Browser
I have extra large giant troubles using Chrome and although my computer is a little slow because that's how it is Brave is great I can get on and actually play
I don't ( mostly ) get stuck in rooms with the yellow bar above my head; I can actually do stuff .
Course its WAY better on our newer computer but Brave is great it does stop adds and pop ups tho so if you like watching adds ....
