I've tried a couple of different browsers but it's always the same.

Anyone else having similar problems or can recommend anything to help?

Thanks! x

Frequent crashes – I guess you mean various sockets shutting.  I get that from time to time then stable for days/weeks.

Empty areas - In low use servers, such as Sugar Basin, most areas are empty.  Even in high use servers, such as Beaver Bash, only some areas are well used.

Chat stops working – Chat when you are in bed with someone does fail; seems ok in room.

Messages – You see a notification of a message but it won’t open.  I get that too but after a couple of tries it usually will.

These problems all existed before Boomtown.

Thanks for the reply!  I've been playing the game since about 2017 so I know about the usual chat bug but this is totally different.  Chat will work for a bit then stop dead.  Things will crash or hang in ways I haven't seen before and crashes come along every few minutes.

Empty areas - I mean that Wild West on Beaver Bash will empty when it's obviously not.  If I reload a few times (open clothes screen and then quit) it might or might not start being populated again.  Never seen that before in years of playing.

Messages and profiles not opening did used to happen for me occasionally, but like you said it would be rare and come and go.  Now it's just not working.

I know things crash occasionally, but it's now unusable.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but it's nothing different to what I was doing last week when it was fine.


UPDATE - Fingers crossed it seems to be working again today!
