Seems like normal... then again, I've never been d/c before, so that's not saying too much. At any rate the chat rate does seem faster. Thanks.

An example is i can say live chess is now easier to login, and is more stable then msn messenger. :)

No lag for sure. No disconnections, but need to play more games to know for sure.

Thanks erik. Keep up the good work.

Just played a game of blitz whilst downloading in the background, no appreciable lag and the pieces were moving nice and crisply.

Opponents clocks still running backwards sometimes in non-delay games.

Ha ha ha, you can't understand this, can you? In spite of countless explanations.

About the original question, it appears to me that piece movement is different. I can't explain, but my eyes get tired with the new animation/piece movements. I find it quite bad, the old one was just perfect.

Today, I had a disconnect while my connection was ok and I lost the game  ! too bad !

I don't usually have dc. issues, but I did have to deal with lag sometimes. Now, there's no lag!Smile

DISCONNECTS!

I played a 30min+5 live game today and got several momentary disconnects, as did my oponent. I haven't played much before the change so I can't comment on any differences.

It seemed better yesterday but today it looks like it's going back to normal. We'll see in a few more days.
