problem with haunted mansion

[cat_herder]

Everytime I play the haunted mansion game today I DC. I should have about 9000 credits so far, but because I have dc at every game today I have got zero points in 2 hours.

Par for the course.

I've had that problem too.

Today, I've crashed, disconnected, and been sent back to the lobby either after the first or second round before the next round starts.

Now the lag is getting really bad and it's hard to start new games since the kids are getting home from school.


Oh well.

it just happened again, I have earned zero points in over 2 hours of playing

Yep, i got on briefly before noon pacific time and played one game and did ok and then the second game i got dc in first round.

Ok, this is not worth it. I have a raging headache now, my blood pressure is raising over my ears. 18 games and I only managed to stay in 2 of them.

On a friendly note, if you stay on your level you dc less. These fun days are what they are, fun, and I love them!

My level? What happens when 3 teammates come out on the same level?
Or one level isn't getting many ghost? I'm in it for the credits if I can't get credits, it really isn't worth it to even try. Since ghost is THE ONLY game I can make credits in, I have to get as many as I can.

I am sorry mansion wasn't being nice to you today
I was having bad luck in the morning but then towards late afternoon/evening everything was dandy. In fact, I caught the most ghosts I have ever caught in a game, 116
Good luck to everyone who played some good mansion games today, and for all the people that wern't as fortunate may we hope that VMK will someday soon bring back the double credits!

On days when everyone is playing, I find it helps if I try to keep the games to two rounds and I refresh after every third game.

Yes this is what Duck and I were doing. I have a slow computer so we kept it at just us two playing and the gracious duck gave me "friendly" ghost games, mostly keeping it at two rounds! We still dc'ed a few times, but just laughed it off. Huge duck!

Sorry I did not read this post yesterday. Hope these tips help you in the future.

At the advice of Dis members, prior to playing mansion transfer as much furniture that you would normally carry on your character in a "store room". If you have other characters I guess you could store pins and clothes too.

Limit the game to a maximum of 4 players. I noticed a considerable increase in lag and players crashing with the addition of a 5th player.

I was asked by someone that has a slower computer, to not chat during the game. Yes, it was weird not saying gl and gg thoughout the game. We knew our intentions were to have her survive the game. It worked.
