I’m not sure if this a bug or something new they’ve implimented. Been having an issue where it is ‘dc’ing me’.. after 10, 15 minutes of afkness. I have friends on who are not dc’ing for forever, but now its ‘I alt tab to change a video or that’ and it kicks me back to character select, or log out. Kinda frustrating.
I’m wondering if its an issue with my browser cash or something, or its a new ‘anti-afk’ system that was implimented.
A while ago I was told that using this URL might fix that kind of issue, when it was happening to me for a while. https://wolfery.com/?charPing.method=ws Maybe this’ll help?
What browser are you using? I’ve been having a bit of trouble with validation issues every couple days, but I just chalk that up to my VPN being wonky.
the browser i’m using is chrome. I’ve had issues with other platforms using too much temp memory so I thought might be this.
I’ve had a few issues with Chrome based browsers in the past. I couldn’t point to any one thing though that definitively suggests it’s your browser. Either way, might be solid to play around with another and see if it still happens!
When you say “DC’ing”, what exactly do you mean?
Why I ask is because the client or server does not actually require a constant connection, but should handle disconnects and reconnects without much disruption (except a little reconnect spinner showing on mobile devices).
From your post, it sounds like your character is put to sleep automatically while idling.
While this is possible, the auto-sleep configuration is set to 1 hour from your character’s last wakeup or “ping” (which the client is meant to send with frequent intervals while connected).
If the pinging stops, it should take 1 hours before your character is put to sleep.
