Server Time Out

Sort:

Likely this topic has come up before but the persistent timeout in mid game is really starting to impact my rankings which werent great to begin with. The internet connection is super strong but the server picks up some sort of disconnection issue and then times you out. At what point is this going to be dealt with? Its really ruining the enjoyment of the live game.

The world is experiencing a pandemic. Many people are home, driving large increases in internet usage.

Chess.com reported being on a pace to experience 10 years growth in three months. https://www.chess.com/blog/erik/chess-com-during-this-global-stay-home-moment

In such a situation, internet speeds slow and connections are overwhelmed. Each play you make takes many hops before reaching chess.com, rendering your own download speed interesting but not determinative. What is your average lag? What is  your max lag? Your upload speed?

Your patience and understanding is required.

I see you have played 20,000 games here yet you do not support the site financially. Why is that?

Some people are retired and cannot afford the price in dollars. Why provide a free service in the first place? Does that mean you have to be satisfied with poorer connections? Your logic does not make much sense in the argument at hand. I am a paying member and suffer the same fate again and again - since PRE COVID times.  We try and understand but you seem oblivious or perhaps you care less than we expected?

Lag.com strikes again. Bullet is unplayable. Bilichess works fine meanwhile.

Lag.com strikes once more this moment, it’s getting worse by the day, and still no decent reaction.
