I have noticed some weird things like that since HE fest. Like the script is running, but literally, all of a sudden, you see nothing happening, not even what others in the room are doing. If I type look, all of a sudden, a gigantic scroll is generated of everything I missed and the script is just plugging away (and invisibly all that time that I see nothing happening). I could see how this could be misleading and someone might think they disconnected or are experiencing excessive lag, but really, the script is actually still going. I noticed it a lot at the Spinneret. I still notice it in some rooms on another character while I braid vines and someone else is in the room doing something.

It doesn't just happen to scripts...I don't use scripts usually, but I still get the stall (usually after a last command I typed) and then have to breathlessly wait for the long scroll whipping by to see whether I survived the stall. Twice I nearly died by the time the scroll ended.

And yeah, during and since HE is when I have noticed this. And I can't think of what might cause it because it has been random.

Javac's got it! Everything else reacts as normal, just scripts won't run.

Yeah, I'd say I noticed it at least a year ago, maybe a little more. The circumstance yesterday though, the first time it hadn't been running that long, and second (after restarting SF), it had just been running for maybe ten seconds. Pretty basic script too.

Anyway, everything is fine now...just was more curious if it was just something localized to me, and if it was a known issue. Thanks for the response!

Happens to me a few times a month with StormFront. It's irritating but since logging in and out fixes it I just live with it.

>> I know that this is a super old thread, but I wanted to resurrect it because it's the most recent I could find.

There's a newer thread (started by me) but, given how hard the forums are to navigate, I'm not surprised you couldn't find it. I can't even find it right now, and I started it, and posted in it like yesterday.

Suffice to say that a) you are not alone, it happens to a lot of us, and b) there is apparently nothing that can be done about it.

This is exactly the behavior I see too! Curiously, its not the match for round time either, but actual round time.

I use many match tables, and I'd say the hangs occur most often at the match, but as you observe, can be kickstarted by adding some kind of roundtime.
